Imagine if New York’s taps ran dry. What would we do? We’d probably walk through the streets in search of the nearest water source, in this case Central Park Pond, and have no choice but to bring the water home to serve to our families, to cook, clean and drink.  This 60 second short allows us to imagine for a moment what life without clean water would be like in New York City.
