The reason why people seem to have realized the need and not yet taking the issue seriously is evidenced in deforestation. This has an awful effect over the monsoon waters. Rainwater harvesting should be understood as the process of capturing rainwater from a catchments surface and precipitating it.

The accumulation of natural water is evident in the rural areas, contrary, in the congested urban centre, this seems not much appreciated. There are two different ways of harvesting water and these include the runoff water harvesting and the rooftop water harvesting. The method of collection and storage is determined by the purpose of the collection.

Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Hendrick Smith uses the film to examine the risks to our health and safety posed by the over-polluted waters we are exposed to everyday. The film focuses on two waterways, the Chesapeake Bay and the Puget Sound, that exemplify the state of water quality across the country.

The scariest theme of the film is that while factories are still a major sources of water pollution, it’s chemicals from everyday products like shampoos, hairsprays, pharmaceuticals and such that are an increasingly dangerous pollution source as well.

“Clean water has slipped off the national agenda in recent years. The Clean Water Act said our waters were supposed to be fishable and swimmable by 1983, but we’re nowhere near close to that,” writes Mr. Smith.

That’s why Hasan Nazar, who leads LCV’s water policy work has been fighting so hard for the Clean Water Restoration Act.

“The Clean Water Restoration Act will plug many of the holes punched in the original act by the Bush Administration and hostile courts,” Nazar said. “As this documentary shows, passing the Restoration Act should be an urgent priority for everyone who likes safe drinking water, clean lakes, and showers free of things they can’t pronounce.”
