Modern Marvels: Season 17, Episode 2

17 - 2:

From the beginning of time we've worked to protect ourselves against the very element that keeps us alive... Water. We love it and hate it. With water covering 75% of the Earth's surface, it's no wonder we struggle to stay safe and dry. We fight against ferocious weather and floods with state-of-the-art roofing, wraps, tarps, tunnels, clothing, boats, and much more... devising extreme tests to probe the limits of our modern waterproof technology.
