World Water Day Roundup

Since yesterday was World Water Day, water was the topic du jour in the blogosphere. Here are some resources we want to make sure you didn't miss:

The Story of Stuff Project has released their new 7-minute video The Story of Bottled Water, which outlines some of the complex issues surrounding the bottled water industry.

The Surfrider Foundation has created a short animated video called The Cycle of Insanity: The Real Story of Water, which outlines how the water cycle is broken and ways we can "fix it." (h/t to Grist)

The Cycle of Insanity: The Real Story of Water - TRAILER 1.




You can calculate your Water Footprint, thanks to H2O Conserve.

PlanetGreen posted about eight important water activists.

Here are a couple of useful InfoGraphics:

Glass Half Empty: The Coming Water Wars (from International Networks Archive)

World's Water Content (from Treehugger)

The cover story for the March/April issue of E Magazine focuses on water, and the entire April issue of National Geographic is a special issue about water. (For a limited time you can download a free PDF of the entire issue.) You can find additional special water coverage on NG's website.
