Should the public care about water? Obviously, the first reaction is that yes water is a necessity for our modern societies. The notion I raise though is the enormous gap of the money spent on water infrastructures of what they need versus what is actually done. For this lab, I watched the video documentary, Liquid Assets: The Story of Our Water Infrastructure. The documentary’s objective was to make the viewer become aware of the failures in the water infrastructures occurring in many different cities across the nation and the reasons as to why this is happening. It succeeded in this objective by focusing on the history and development of the systems, the current politics surrounding water, and what now needs to be done to sustain them.
