This is a short documentary film about the groundwater in Elmvale, Ontario, and William Shotyk, a professor who has been sampling and testing the water, for many years. Test results show it may be one of the cleanest water sources on earth.

As the demand for concrete grows with our cities around the world, so does the demand for aggregates to make that concrete. They are usually found in the most important parts of Earth's natural water filtration systems, the filter. Limestones, fine gravels and so forth, are the filters that allow the groundwater to be so clean in the first place, and in Elmvale, only an hour and a half away from the Greater Toronto Area, is a perfect intersection between the decisions we have to make as a society about our future. Those are, protecting natural systems like this hydrological one, so that future generations continue to have life requiring access to fresh water, and the continual growth of our mega cities.
