Episode 5
We can survive weeks without food, but only a few days without water. The eternal struggle for water and the ingenious solutions adopted in the most desert areas of the planet, in the documentary of the fifth episode of Superquark, of the BBC Human Planet series: Deserts. An army of 10 million interviewers for the largest census on the planet. The one that ended a few weeks ago in China. To count what is the largest population in the world and understand its dynamics in an era of colossal changes. In the report by Lorenzo Pinna. After the tragedies of the Heysel Stadium in Brussels and the seizure of the “Achille Lauro”, one of the flagships of the State has taken shape: the Crisis Unit of the Farnesina. A “handful” of officials and operators, working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, prepares emergency and evacuation plans, “shaping” them on all possible scenarios, from natural disasters to health emergencies, to international political revolts. Structure copied by many other countries.
