STRANGE DAYS ON PLANET EARTH: TROUBLED WATERS Final
Tuesday, 29 January 2008
For decades, efforts have been made around the world to clean up our waterways and in some cases it appears to be working. But are our water systems really as clean as we think they are? Find out in the final episode of Strange Days on Planet Earth, Tuesday January 29 at 8.30pm.
Across America, leopard frog species have been diminishing in large numbers. Scientists have discovered that an increasing number of male species are actually hermaphrodites. Scientists are on a quest to prove whether a herbicide used in corn farming, which is also found in the breeding grounds of the frogs, is actually responsible for the genetic anomalies.
Scientists in Canada have discovered that colonies of beluga whales have high cancer rates. The bodies washed up on shore are so toxic that they are considered hazardous waste. But where are the toxins coming from and how can scientists help save the whale colonies?
I am a year 12 marine student in Australia
and i came home early from school one day and watched the last half of this episode
i would really like to see the whole episode again, i think it is very interesting and important and i am currently doing an assignment on how to increase the health of a waterway, by doing a series of water tests and analyising the riparian zone.
i would be grateful if anyone could give me some information or inform me on how to gain a copy of this episode
Thankyou

What can we do locally? does anyone know? I want to know how we can be more progressive? I want to get involved with what ever government action is taking place.
Is there incentives or anything being actioned to educate the public?

Great program, it should be shown in all public places such as schools, Libraries and other community centres.
