Part 4: A Price To Pay

The nature and politics of water transportation affect a growing number of people and enterprises around the world who depend on the reliable delivery of water. In Africa, the ritual of water transportation is at the very core of life for the pastoral people who roam the Rift Valley - the Massai. The aqueducts of ancient Rome proved to be one of the world's most notable water transportation systems. The controversial issue of water pricing in diverse communities throughout the world is discussed. The film also highlights the price asked by traditional water bearers in a bustling enclave in the midst of India, then crosses over to Great Britain where wide scale privatizing of water takes place after years of floundering governmental control. At last, the film also travels to Santiago, the capital of Chile where an increase in the water price will be used to decontaminate the waters of the local rivers.
