Gripping and enlightening, this program shows the interconnection of surface and subsurface waters. Two expert diver/scientists enter a Florida spring, floating crystal-clear waters over a heart-stopping tunnel drop into the black depths, and then follow an underground river for several miles. The water begins to turn turbid, revealing amazing detritus: tires, oil barrels, and other debris. At the same time, another team humorously tracks them from above, through houses, golf courses, and busy traffic from above, revealing how we unsuspectingly pollute the very water they drink, and what we can do about it.
