Fall Asleep to the Sound of Clean Water

Can't go to bed? Then enjoy this hypnotic video of the waterfalls and streams of Yosemite National Park. Episode 18 of a 22 part video series that features Yosemite's astonishing natural elements and animals.



Besides beautiful imagery the park rangers express their mission to educate visitors about their role of preserving clean water. The water that flows out of the park goes on to irrigate the Central Valley of Southern California. Described as a "breadbasket of the world" this agricultural hotspot depends on the  park's water flow. From the video I pulled this cheesy, yet relevant quote about the individual responsibility for water security.

"No single raindrop thinks it's responsible for the flood."

Each of us will have to care about the state of our water. A single moment to consider and understand water scarcity might feel insignificant, but you need that strength in numbers to improve the health of our water. And seeing clean water flourish in a waterfall is awe-inspiring.
