Kathleen (Kate) Harriden (PhD candidate) from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) looks at freshwater availability from both the western and the indigenous perspectives. This is part of a series of videos on renewable resources.

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'Unit 3 Living on Earth - extracting, using and managing Earth resources'.

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors: 
The availability and quality of fresh water can be influenced by human activities (for example, urbanisation, over-extraction, pollution) and natural processes (for example, siltation, drought, algal blooms) at local and regional scales (ACSES080)
