Where Did The Water Go?
Personal memory by Danielle Kritz
1987 • Shadyside, OH, USA
Only 25 years ago, when I was a kid, we'd play in wide streams filled with cool water in the summertime. Green trees and grass surrounded us. The water was clean and high. Now, those once mighty streams are bare. Most of the time there's barely a trickle of water, nothing is green, trash abounds. Certainly not the happy place I remember as a child.
