Mountain streams and low-lying wetlands, karst and sinkholes, city storm drains and mighty rivers are all interconnected in a water system that sustains all life on Earth. This 2008 KET production visits urban and rural settings across Kentucky to explore how water from rain and snow is collected and funneled into common waterways, how smaller watersheds flow into larger ones, and how rain that falls on Kentucky fields eventually ends up in the Gulf of Mexico. In exploring these cycles and interactions, the video also illustrates the most common forms of nonpoint source water pollution and what individuals, families, and communities can do to prevent it.
