Tunneling for Water: Full-Length Version
This full-length, uncut video showcases a massive riverbank filtration project undertaken by Louisville Water Company to provide clean tap water for customers. Along with engineers from the project, "Science Steve" and his animated sidekick Tapper explore related science and engineering topics, such as Ohio River geology, aquifers, and the function and structure of wells. The video also documents the construction of the tunnel and wells that make up the riverbank filtration system and illustrates the movement of water from the aquifer to the water treatment plant.
