Part 3: Perils Of Pollution

The issue of balance between Mother Nature and all living things; and what happens to that balance when man begins to intervene in nature's environments that depend on fresh water. How do species survive in the Nabib Desert in South Africa and at Glen Canyon in the USA. where the once wild Colorado River is obstructed by a large dam? There is a look at the canalization of the Rhine and the shrinking of fresh water wetlands in Holland, and the Ecuadorian rainforest where nature is damaged by oil production. Concerns about the health of both scarce and water-abundant environments are growing. Reallocating fresh water to the environment has started, highlighting the evermore ominous and highly charged issue of pollution. Contaminated water has direct and important consequences for public health. In 1854, a cholera epidemic in Western Europe initiated a new awareness. Perhaps the most deadly and widespread, yet most preventable, waterborne disease is diarrhea.
