The Price of Water - DVD

Nebraska has been called the "Saudi Arabia of Water" For most of us, we don't think about where our water comes from when we turn on the tap. We just know clean, clear water is there whenever we need it.

"The Price of Water" explores how Nebraskans are connected to this resource that supports our lives, examines where our water comes from, who uses it and for what purposes, and what people are doing to sustain Nebraska's water for the future.

Segments include the formation of the Ogallala Aquifer and the connection between ground and surface water; the development of the Platte River; the effect of ancient drought in the Sand Hills; how water supports farmers, city folks, and nature; and what is being done to protect this vital limited resource.
