Focus Years: 2000 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
In this episode of "Water - The Drop of Life", we explore water transportation and fees. In Africa's Rift Valley, the walk of water is at the very core of life for the Masaai. The aqueducts of Rome proved to be one of the world's most notable water transportation systems. The ultra-modern Central Arizona Project Aqueduct brings Colorado River water to cities in America's Southwest. Spain's Tago-Segura project is diverting water to the fields in Murcia. We explore the controversial issue of water pricing in diverse communities throughout the world - who controls it, and who pays what, for water. The film highlights the price asked by traditional water bearers in a bustling enclave in the midst of India, then crosses over to Great Britain where wide-scale privatization of water takes place. At last we travel to Santiago, Chile where an increase in the water price would be used to decontaminate the waters of the local rivers.
