⁃ Blue Gold World Water Wars
Blue Gold world water wars is a documentary which examines the environmental and political implications of the planet’s dwindling water supply, and posits that wars in the future will be fought over water.
Blue Gold a World Water Wars documents the environmental issues behind why we are rapidly losing our fresh water supplies, the politics behind water ownership and distribution that are worsening the situation, and the scenarios of what will happen as water becomes increasingly scarce. It looks at how we are using up water faster than it can be replenished through natural systems – we are mining as much as 15 times more groundwater than is being replenished, at the rate of 30 billion gallons a day. We’re also polluting it beyond use, destroying the wetlands that are natural filters, and blocking the rivers that carry nutrients that keep the water healthy and lands fertile.Basically, we’re desertifying the planet , and helping to send all our fresh water straight to the ocean via soil erosion, building more and more hardscaps, and cutting down forests.
