Aquadoc’s Film Debut: Guaraní Aquifer

June 26, 2010 | Posted by Michael "Aquadoc" Campana

Self-promotion alert!

You may recall my WaterWired 18 April post in which I spoke of my upcoming trip to southern Connecticut to film some ‘talking head’ video clips on South America’s Guaraní aquifer (shown in blue on the map) under the guidance of multimedia journalist Annabel Symington and videographer Vasilios Sfinarolakis.

Why film in Connecticut? It’s cheaper to reach than South America, plus we wanted to use the pristine expanse of Long Island Sound as a backdrop, the largest body of water between Connecticut and New York.

All joking aside, Annabel has released a few short videos, shot by Vasilios and Mark Tipple (who edited them) featuring yours truly. I was filmed on Saturday, 24 April 2010. The sun was brighter than I had anticipated; you should have seen the top of my head the following day.

Here are her Guaraní Project WWW site and Facebook page.

Here is some information on the Guaraní Aquifer System (GAS) and my 1 April 2010 facetious article on the GAS. In case you’re wondering, the GAS holds far more water than the Long Island Sound (18 trillion gallons or about 68 cubic kilometers) - perhaps more than 500 times as much.

You can view a six-minute version or a two-minute version.

Oh, yes – have your people call my people.

Protect the Guarani Aquifer on February 6, 2011 2:13 pm
Come and join the Facebook page Protect the Guarani Aquifer (aka “Aquífero Guarani”)” at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Protect-the-Guarani-Aquifer-aka-Aquifero-Guarani/135303956503676. Read there that there is an US base in Paraguay just above the Guarani Aquifer whereas in Argentina the US is making pressure for the installation of a military base in Misiones (also just above the aquifer). The goal, according to politic analysts, is supposedly the control of the drinking water of the aquifer. The aquifer being a rich source of Tritium, the main ingredient of the Hydrogen bomb, besides the proximity of electric power of Itaipu hydroelectric dam, also make it an important military strategic point. Read it all and see the documentary videos in 4 major languages. Be aware and participate, diffuse the knowledge and recomend this page.
