Liquid Assets

Liquid Assets, a ninety-minute documentary, tells the story of essential infrastructure systems: water, wastewater, and stormwater. These systems, some in the ground for more than 100 years, provide a critical public health function and are essential for economic development and growth. Largely out of sight and out of mind, these aging systems have not been maintained, and some estimates suggest this is the single largest public works endeavor in our nation's history. Exploring the history, engineering challenges, and political and economic realities in urban and rural locations, the documentary provides an understanding of the hidden assets that support our way of life. Locations featured in the documentary include Atlanta, Boston, Herminie (Pennsylvania), Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Washington, D.C. ©2008 WPSU. 90 min

Water: An Endangered Resource

Pennsylvania is famous for the beauty of its countryside -- the small towns, mountains and farmlands. Yet the land hides an unseen killer, polluted water, resulting from drainage from abandoned coal mines. There are 45,000 miles of streams and lakes in the state, and 2,800 miles are polluted. These aren't the big rivers around cities like Pittsburgh or Scranton. They are small steams and creeks running throughout the Commonwealth. "Water: An Endangered Resource," a Penn State Public Broadcasting production, looks at the problem, the dangers to wildlife, recreation and the economy and what is being done to clean it up. © 2006 WPSU. 57 min.
