★★★★ · Excellent Film for Engineers · Braniac · 2010-10-14
Some call this boring, but I was fascinated and amazed at the work involved, especially in 1941, to bring water to New York City. This will appeal to the inner civil engineering geek in you.
★★ · I'll be dammed! · Spuzz · 2003-03-29
EB movie (music=less of course) which tells of the growing demand for water in New York city. The history od dams and viaducts are explained, and various outher ways of collecting water are shown. That's about it..
★★ · Dry Film About Water · Christine Hennig · 2004-07-19
Boring film that goes on and on about water access and water treatment in New York City. Leave it to Encyclopedia Britannica to make a dry film about water. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *. Weirdness: *. Historical Interest: ***. Overall Rating: **.
