Drought control in South Africa

A helicopter flies over the Berg River in South Africa. Aerial views show the low flow of this stream. For a long time the inhabitants believed that this river would be completely drained. A plan called the "Water program" is intended to partially resolve this dryness. The trees along the river, pines, acacias, eucalyptus, planted at the beginning of the century were cut because they consumed much more water than the species of the country. Interviews with Marilyn JOSEPH, team leader "High altitude", Brian W. VAN WILGEN, doctor of ecology, initiator of the project "Working for water", and Manfred PAULSE, local project manager.
