Water is essential to all life. It brings good harvests, health, prosperity, and ecological abundance. But poor management of water resources has led to poverty, disease, environmental degradation, and human conflict.

From drought-stricken villages in northern India to the coastal reefs of the Fiji Islands, this DVD on the Water Voices documentary series is about people finding local solutions to the worsening water crisis in Asia and the Pacific. The series recognizes the power of good examples and lessons learned to inspire ‘home grown' solutions to water problems.
