The story of mismanagement of the water cycle
February 2011
The video Produced by Sahana Singh tells the story of mismanagement of the water cycle in a blue planet sustained by water. Problems of over-use, pollution and leakage of water are highlighted. A paradigm shift in thinking is advocated. Viewers are reminded that there are plenty of technologies available to clean dirty water and finance is hardly a constraint. The only missing ingredient is political will and viewers are urged to push their political leaders to take action. Ultimately, the video makes a call to manage the water cycle as a whole.
