The delightful David Bellamy looks at why clean drinking water
is becoming a scarce commodity even in the richest countries.
Leaping out of a plane to follow a drop of water into the River
Thames watershed, he encounters pesticides, nitrates, and heavy
metals, just a few of the nasties posing problems for our outmoded
water and sewage works. He also finds evidence of acid rain, and
beaches polluted with raw sewage, garbage, and radioactivity. We
know how to clean it up. Why don't we? With Study Guide

- "This video is about the River Thames in England, but it could
be about any river where big cities, large populations, and
intensive farming dump waste products. This is an excellent
program for raising general awareness." Science Books and Films
