The Guarani Project is a journalist, a filmmaker and a photographer from three different backgrounds and countries coming together to document an issue that is both current and pressing in the twenty-first century: Sustainability.
Under the fertile South American low lands of Argentina, Southern Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, lies the Guarani Aquifer. The Guarani aquifer holds enough water to supply the worlds population with 100 liters of water a day, every day for 200 years.
As a self-sustaining body of water it will never deplete; an aquifer recharges its water supply by absorbing rainwater and water leaked from lakes, rivers and reservoirs. The Guarani Aquifer has a recharge rate of between 165 to 170 kilometers cubed per year, which is the equivalent of over 67 million Olympic sized swimming pools flowing into the aquifer each year.
The Guarani Aquifer sounds like the answer to the worlds water problem, but if the Guarani Aquifer is not appropriately monitored, agricultural and industrial use of the aquifers water could destroy this natural resource. The Guarani Project is a documentary about the challenges facing the Guarani Aquifer, and the indigenous people who depend on it.
Disclaimer - We know this video contains footage from Indonesia; it's from a previous project. As we haven't yet started the Guarani project's filming we don't have footage of the Guarani Indigenous.
