Troubled Water is a 52 minute documentary that examines different drinking watersheds on Vancouver Island and some of the threats posed to them by industrial, commercial, agricultural and residential activity. While the examples are all set on the island these same examples can be seen in drinking watersheds around the world. In addition to the threat of contamination and over-use of water there is also the looming threat of privatization of water sources and infrastructure. The film also includes examples of good water management.
The film features interviews with local community activists who are concerned about water supplies that the general public takes for granted, Jack Hull the manager of the CRD water supply and Maude Barlow the chairperson of the Council of Canadians.
