Synopsis:
This installment of the series explores how water is managed and mismanaged in agriculture and industry. Southwest Kansas farmers have been mining aquifer water to meet the demands of agri-business without considering the consequences of exceeding the recharge rate. In Kenya, where farmers are helped by a technique known as drip irrigation. In Mexico, irrigation with "aguas negras" -- waste water -- has long been the saving grace to meet the needs of the dwellers of this dry region. Industries also face a critical dilemma -- how to balance increased production goals while sustaining the natural resources that power industrial output. This episode shows how a Japanese steel company is leading the industry in its water conservation policies. In Canada, we see the world's first zero-effluent pulp mill. In Europe, medieval Beer Purity Law -- the oldest food quality regulations known -- still govern much of modern brewing.
