Overview

After black gold, there is now blue gold. Quebec, where water is abundant and not protected by any law, is particularly attractive. Water abstraction or misuse of pesticides and agricultural fertilizers show how over-commercialization can pose a danger to this resource. At a time when the laws of international trade threaten to neutralize our own environmental rules, La loi de l’eau is a film about the necessary awareness of the dangers hanging over a resource that many believe to be inexhaustible.
