New Great Lakes movie!



See trailer on YouTube:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LThCGlwqhng



Water is becoming a limited commodity throughout the world, including the 
Great Lakes region. In order to secure the future of our freshwater 
resources, public participation in decisions surrounding water use and 
protection is vital. The goal of this movie is to provide an overview of the 
concepts of surface and groundwater watersheds and the concept of water 
diversions. The movie relates these issues to the Great Lakes Compact 
Agreement and presents ideas on how individuals can make an impact on water 
use and the policies surrounding water protections.



This project is a collaboration between the scientist Rebecca Klaper and the 
filmmaker Matt Radcliff. Funding was provided by the Wisconsin Coastal 
Management Program, UWM Great Lakes WATER Institute and Paignton Pictures.



The film is currently playing at Discovery World in Milwaukee through May on 
Saturdays and Sundays at 11:30 am CDT. Wider distribution is anticipated. 
Contact Rebecca Klaper at rklaper@uwm.edu with any questions.
