In
the 1930s, the massive Quabbin Reservoir was built to meet Bostons
water needs. At that time it was the largest man-made pure-water
reservoir in the world. To create it, engineers flooded four towns
and six villages and disinterred 7500 graves. This provocative film
traces the history of Bostons water supply and, more broadly,
raises a range of issues about the use of Americas water resources.
