'City limits' is a stark reminder of Australia's water crisis. Tough decisions
have to be made, other options are unavailable. It is about the type of legacy
to leave the future generations. If it does not rain and nothing is done, there
is every prospect of the southern cities running dry, by September 2006. The
projected population blowouts to 30 million, in the next 50 years, will place
more pressure on water supply. According to water experts and critics, Sydney is
leading the race to run out of water first. Sydney Water has a crisis approach,
with short term fixes. Critics are speaking out until someone takes notice.
Elsewhere in Australia, there are schemes implemented to save water and develop
water resources. A desalination project is well underway in W.A. There is
recycling of sewage water, in Adelaide and Melbourne to take pressure off tap
water; and capturing and cleaning storm water by an Adelaide local council. One
view is that doubling the price of drinking water might stop waste and encourage
recycling.

Narrator, Nina Wadla.
For generations, families in the Indian village of Jalsindhi have lived off
their land. Now, thanks to the controversial Narmada Dam, they face destitution.
When the reservoir starts filling, their homes will be submerged. Over 250,000
people will be displaced, but the villagers are determined to fight to protect
their way of life. This program follows these people in their desperate struggle
to save their homes. Filmed over a five-year period, it reveals the human cost
of modernization. Hundreds of villages have already been submerged to make way
for the dam. The government promised that all those displaced would receive land
in compensation, but people who have already been rehoused tell a different
story.

In the early 1970s Lake Pedder, an alpine lake isolated in the heart of the
wilderness of south-west Tasmania, was flooded to make way for a massive hydro-
electric scheme. The campaign to save the lake became the first national
environmental battle in Australia's history. In the fight to save Lake Pedder
the world's first green party was born. By the time the Franklin River was under
threat the environmental lobby in Tasmania was highly skilled and organised as a
result of the Lake Pedder experience and subsequently was able to campaign
successfully for the Franklin River to be saved.
