Yeah, Tom. That's a dramatic video.

Amazing video.

Thanks Tom! I'm gonna go cry now. Seriously, If our generation is the one to let this happen, all of the wonderful things we have accomplished will be diminished by our irresponsibility. I guess it's time to write some more letters.

I am at the NSS convention this week. One of the activities for the younger cavers it to go around the area (WV), and mark all the drains that could possibly flow untreated into the aquifer.

Thanks for posting that. It is a very disturbing video, I hope we can all team up and make law makers take action to prevent further extinction of these systems.

Is this one of Mark's videos? If so, Mark, any chance we could fix the couple of typos in the text and get a full resolution copy? I would love to take this don with me to Mexico and show it to landowners. I think it would make quite the impact.

Nice video - Keep getting the word out. We're in for a long battle against some deeply entrenched institutions, but I think the public at large is beginning to wake up.

That's my kids and some of their friends on the dock at Hart Springs in the picture at 4:29!

As a Florida native, I have been enjoying our springs both as a visitor and then a diver since I was 8 years old ( early 50s ). I am thankful that I lived to see them in all their glory. RIP, how sad.

I remember diving Troy, Laffayette and Manatee in the 80's, and it was rare to see any plantlife below the surface. Even the Sante fe river is choked up way more than just a few years ago. Not only are we wasting good potable water to flush toilets and water lawns, but were also polluting whats left with chemicals and nitrates. Man is his own worst enemy.
