SAN DIEGO, June 2, 2016 — The San Diego County Water Authority has released a succinct yet engaging new documentary series that highlights the major events in the San Diego region’s ongoing quest for safe and reliable water supplies.
and based on the book “To Quench a Thirst: A Brief History of Water in the San Diego Region,” the three-part video series provides a 13-minute overview that traces the search for water from the region’s indigenous people through generations of area leaders who developed the region’s diversified water supply portfolio and robust infrastructure that today sustains 3.2 million people and a $218 billion economy. “To Quench a Thirst” was first published by the San Diego County Water Authority in 2002 and updated in 2013.
These videos are now part of the curriculum for the Water Authority’s award-winning Citizens Water Academy, a class series for community leaders interested in water issues. The videos are also designed for use by teachers, community groups and others who want to learn more about the management of the region’s most precious natural resource.
