Description
This one hour short course is the first in a series of courses based on the popular "Water's Journey" series of films. Earth has been described as a water planet, and, without a doubt, water is our most important resource. All living things depend on the natural cycle of water. It is the essence that gives us life. One of the greatest mysteries of our planet is the magical cycle of water - Rain pours down from the skies nourishing parched vegetation, evaporation drives water skyward, springs convey great volumes of water to earth's magnificent rivers, and mankind is intertwined in this complex and endless renewal of water. Perhaps the most amazing wonder about this great cycle is water's secret journey underground, where it can travel for hundreds of years before revealing itself on the surface again. Vast reserves of clean water are held within the rock in the earth's aquifers. To protect these precious resources, we must come to understand the body of our planet.

Course Content
Film producer and environmentalist Wes Skiles led a team in exploring and charting part of the Floridan aquifer… from the inside. The expedition was produced for the National Public Broadcasting System by Karst Productions. We have obtained the rights to create this one hour course for continuing education credit based on this film. We are excited about the outcome and hope that you enjoy the course.
