- Summary
- COI synopsis: Water is as necessary to us as air, but in many ways harder to handle. Yet, as industry develops, more and more water is needed. This affects the water supplies for the growing industrial population. In the old days, nature used to purify our water for us, through clean rivers and into the sea. Now, nature cannot cope with so much water passing through so many industrial processes. It is a problem in Africa as elsewhere. So, this time London Line shows how modern installations help nature, in nature’s own way, to purify and re-cycle our water from a polluted flow to a clean clear stream. In fact, we not only demonstrate a practical purification plant for African purposes but show our presenter happily drinking a glass of water from a polluted African river after it’s been processed!
