Water has been a flashpoint in the Middle East and worldwide demand is outstripping supply, so how do we make sure there's enough to go round?

This most basic resource is vital for drinking, sanitation and agriculture, but also for jobs and economies everywhere. The World Bank's global director for water Saroj Kumar Jha explains why they're trying to make it more of a priority for government spending.

And Mareen Schneider, the founder and CEO of project developer Grasshopper Investments, explains how she's coming up with radical new ways for the private sector to invest in water.

Plus, Ben Thompson also hears from Jos茅 Manuel Entrecanales, the CEO of Spanish infrastructure giant Acciona, about the projects they're building around the world and why we need to rethink the value we give to water.
