There are two there that have basically the same content - the difference is in length. The shorter one (3.5 minutes) we will use for social media, etc. The longer one (5 minutes) will be used for meetings, etc. To view them, go to our website at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://glc.org/projects/water-resources/greater-lakes/greater-lakes-media/" class="yiv3381267339" style="color:purple;">http://glc.org/projects/water-resources/greater-lakes/greater-lakes-media/</a>.

A new vision is emerging; one in which cities move from fragmentation to integration, treating water as a single, holistic resource.
