Penn State documentary addresses nation’s ‘water blues’

Take a look at a new documentary about water issues in the United States.  Here is an excerpt from a recent press release about “Water Blues, Green Solutions.”

“The nation’s potable water sources are chronically threatened by an out-of-date water infrastructure, stormwater runoff and record-breaking droughts. Filmmakers at Penn State Public Media recognized this environmental dilemma and produced an interactive documentary project exploring how cities across the country are adopting innovative green solutions for their water blues.

“Water Blues, Green Solutions” takes the viewer on a journey to Philadelphia, Portland, Ore., San Antonio and the Bronx showcasing communities that are using green infrastructure – land conservation, green roofs, rain gardens, porous surfaces and other methods – to remedy the challenges of flooding, pollution and scarcity.”
