Summary:
Cadillac Desert relates the story of the epic quest for water and the role it has played in the transformation of the American West. This forth episode opens with the story of how America's large dams became examples for water projects abroad, particularly in developing countries. The film goes to India and China, where big dam building continues in full force, and to Mexico, the Middle East, and back to the American West to explore how, in the face of rising water needs conservation may be humanity's last oasis.
