Clearly, cleverly, persuasively, this film develops the story of the 

 water problems in Ohio. Beginning with a simple explanation of 

 the water cycle, it introduces and emphasizes the inevitable pres- 

 sures of modern man's demand upon water reserves. Shrewdly and 

 humorously animated, these demands are dramatized as industry, 

 government and people themselves seek the use of water for their 

 particular interests. It illustrates progress made by the state in 

 planning the use of the water, its storage, its battle against pollution 

 and the constant need of long-range planning for the future. But 

 the film's impact and usefulness reaches far beyond Ohio. It serves 

 as a definitive documentary which should be used by teachers, plan- 

 ning groups and students of a natural resource which knows no 

 boundaries.

This film documents the forest fire, started through carelessness, 

 which spread throughout the tree-covered countryside of the Santa 

 Inez watershed in California. Thousands of fire fighters were or- 

 ganized and waged a nine-day battle to control the fire. Control was 

 not the whole story, however, and the film emphasizes the impor- 

 tance of the immediate reseeding by hand and airplane to produce 

 waterholding vegetation. A fine example of information through 

 effective illustration. 



AUDIENCE: Junior high; senior high; college; adult
