about water

Waiting after quite a while, I finally received Sandy's reply.
She sends a link of her works. While reading the web pages, her experience reminds me my own experience about water too, which makes me feel thrilled.
In 2005, when I was in Japur, India, I met an old man from Canada. He is an engineer working as an adviser to Japur government for tape water system. He wanted to show me some videos about water on his computer but couldn't find the file. So he only showed his family's photo and gave me the title of that DVD on water as well as the name of the producer: Asian Development Bank.
After coming back, I searched Internet, found the web of ADB and the DVD, and worte to ask for a copy, which I keep along, always want to show to my people. Since then, water has always occupied a corner in my mind.
But even earlier, I recall the days working with China Times Express, water has already been an issue that grabbed the media's attention. There were many water resources conferences and reports, around the time of the 90s in last century. Need to check out more details.
Then, there was another example in 2007 when I first went to the residency in Donghouliao, Chiayi. I witnessed the village head bought some fishes and put them into the water channel in the village without fully understanding of ecology. Of course the fishes died after a few days.
