004.VIKING BOER – RESOURCES – WATER – Until the Last Drop

Until the Last Drop | California Water Documentary

Until the Last Drop examines the rivers that have transformed the San Joaquin Valley, helped create California’s greatest cities, and nourished a nation.
On the Tuolumne, Stanislaus and Merced rivers, we meet the men and women who grow our food; we talk to those studying what salmon really need to survive, and we hear from those who depend on thriving rivers and are working to secure water supplies for our communities and environment.

Those responsible for providing water to millions see the peril of a degraded environment. Those who measure every drop that soaks into an orchard are among the most dedicated conservationists.

The questions are profound, and the answers complex.
Compromise is as necessary as it is difficult.
An agreement forged last year at the insistence of two governors could end our endless water wars…if people will embrace it.

Our filmmakers have gone onto the rivers, into laboratories, on farms, and to the top of San Francisco skyscrapers to better understand the threats to our rivers, fish, and Valley.

Crucial decisions on the future of our water supplies and rivers are imminent. Until the Last Drop will help us understand what’s at stake.
