  The goal of the relativistic heavy ion collisions (RHIC) program is to create
a state of matter where color degrees of freedom are deconfined. The dynamics
of matter in this state, in spite of the complexities of quantum
chromodynamics, is largely determined by the conservation laws of energy
momentum and color currents. Therefore it is possible to describe its main
features in hydrodynamic terms, the very short color neutralization time
notwithstanding. In this lecture we shall give a simple derivation of the
hydrodynamics of a color charged fluid, by generalizing the usual derivation of
hydrodynamics from kinetic theory to the non abelian case.
