| This absorbing four-DVD series examines the relationship through history between mankind and fresh water. Each programme considers a different aspect of the relationship. The viewer comes away having learned an awful lot about how our development was influenced by water-related factors and conscious that no society can survive for as much as day without access to fresh water. This episode is devoted to water's religious significance through history. It follows in the footsteps of the Israelites from Jordan to Jericho, one of the first organized settlements in the world to be built around a source of water. The importance of water in Islam is discussed. There are scenes from Hinduism's holy river the Ganges, including the funeral pyres on the ghats that line its banks. The programme also looks at the history of the bath from Roman times to hydrotherapy in modern Germany.
