Liquid Assets: The Story of our Water Infrastructure

Printer-friendlyPrinter-friendlyEmail to friendEmail to friend

"Liquid Assets" is a public media and outreach initiative that seeks to inform the nation about the critical role that our water infrastructure plays in protecting public health and promoting economic prosperity.

Combining a 90-minute documentary, produced by Penn State Public Broadcasting, with a community toolkit for facilitating local involvement, "Liquid Assets" explores the history, engineering, and political and economic challenges of our water infrastructure, and engages communities in local discussion about public water and wastewater issues.
