“A thoughtful, informative, provocative, and inspirational film. Brennen challenges us to consider the manner in which our ill-planned development goals and strategies have created a less resilient environment, especially in the context of water availability, significantly increasing our susceptibility to environmental disasters under a new climate regime. While he asks the viewer to consider what would happen if we designed our lives around water in a radically different way, his film cleverly shows us that the solution isn't so radical as it may appear for those who know their history and science.”

“Brings to life the complex science of landscape hydrology, showing how soils, plants, and even microbiotic life are all part of the water cycle. And the film hopefully shows how humans can be a healthy part of landscape hydrology instead of a disturbance to it. Water is not a fixed resource to be managed only with supply and demand, and the film demonstrates how we can meet our needs in water stressed places by working with nature instead of against it.”
