Water Works

We tend to take clean, safe drinking water for granted. We turn the faucet on and there it flows. But each year, about 8 million people around the world die from water-related diseases. And nearly 800 million people do not have access to clean water. New England's own alarm about the limits to water resources sounded during the 2016 drought. Water Works traces water from its source to faucets, and shows the challenges to our water supply like aging infrastructure, drought and pollution. It also examines what's being done to address these issues and how to keep clean water flowing in New Hampshire.
