Water: The Basics of Use, Pollution, and Our Health in 5 minutes

A look at the planet's water, how it's being used, and the increasing strains on this vital resource. In every corner of the globe, we are polluting, diverting, pumping, and wasting our limited supply of fresh water at an exponential rate as population and technology grows, resulting in the desertification of the earth. We must begin to manage our water more efficiently and keep our limited freshwater supplies pure. Learn about your local watershed. Find out who owns your water. Take control of your water. Discover how industry pollutes local water sources in my other videos: Health Effects of Coal and Gasland: Dangers of Natural Gas Extraction.
