Abstract
About this title: Journeys to four major river systems of the world to investigate the environmental problems facing those whose lives depend upon the health of their river. The Mississippi: Upstream towns are ravaged by periodic floods, while the health of the river's fishery is threatened by the loss of nutrient-rich sediments. The Amazon: Brazilian fisherman struggle to make a living as aquatic life in the world's mightiest river is affected by deforestation. The Jordan: In the arid landscape of the Middle East, availability of water is determined as much by poitics as by the environment. The Mekong: On a waterway that sustains people from six different nations, the Vietnamese are affected by upstream development and an economic boom.
About the series: The programs in the Journey to Planet Earth series explore the fragile relationship between people and the world they inhabit. A common thread runs throughout all the programs: the necessity to achieve a balance between the needs of people and the needs of the environment. Topics covered in the series include the loss of farmland to urban development, the pollution of the Earth's rivers, and inadequate housing and water resources for those living in the world's mega-cities
