A Watershed Mentality
DVD
A documentary about the problems of sediment and erosion in the Maumee River Basin.  The Maumee River is the largest tributary and watershed in the Great Lakes and deposits millions of cubic yards of sediment into Lake Erie yearly.  Sediment and contaminants from various non-point source pollutants lead to water quality issues such as algal booms; expensive dredging; loss of habitat and added treatment of drinking water. This project was undertaken by the Fort Wayne City Utilities, the Allen County (IN) Partnership for Water Quality, and WFWA PBS 39 Fort Wayne.
