WATER (Trailer) 2025
What would you do without water for a few days?
We take water for granted and probably don’t give it much thought, but it is essential to sustain life everywhere. For many Americans and people throughout the world it’s a different story because lack of water is a stark reality.

The film Includes interviews with very knowledgeable people, most of whom work in the water industry. Learn where we get our water, how aquifers were formed, and what can be done in the future to protect them.
