Urban Water Lesson

The World

Some of us don’t know where our drinking water comes from. That’s especially true for city dwellers whose water often travels from hundreds of miles away. Many folks don’t make the connection between the picture postcards of streams in the country, and the water that flows from their faucets. Richard Schiffman reports on an event in New York City designed to change that.
