Learn about Pittsburgh’s watershed management problem, and how citizens are dealing with it, in this video from the WPSU documentary Liquid Assets. In the Pittsburgh area, sewage overflow initially used rivers to move pollution out of the city. This practice negatively affected downstream communities. See how community members organized, designed, and implemented practices to restore their local watershed from wastewater pollution. Liquid Assets, a ninety-minute documentary, tells the story of essential infrastructure systems: water, wastewater, and stormwater.
