Water is the foundation of all life and a precious resource that is increasingly under pressure. The film Our Water explores the current water situation in the municipality of Kastelruth, providing insights into the water cycle, technical infrastructure, and future challenges. While water consumption has risen sharply in recent decades, natural availability is decreasing—a trend exacerbated by climate change, tourism, and infrastructural losses. This film was specifically designed to raise awareness among children and young people. Through engaging animations, expert interviews, and stunning nature footage, it highlights the measures needed to ensure a sustainable water supply in the future. How can Kastelruth maintain a stable water supply despite increasing fluctuations in spring discharge and natural hazards? What role do modern technologies such as horizontal filter wells and new storage facilities play? And what can we all do to use water more responsibly? The film educates viewers on the importance of water conservation and aims to inspire young people to take responsibility for this vital resource—because the future of our water supply starts today.
