what i would envision is looking at alternative-irrigation practices, alternative-fertilization practices, alternative-cultural practices that keep most of the nutrients in the root zone where the plant can use them. on a watershed basis there are more vulnerable and less vulnerable areas of landscape. if you want to grow corn in your watershed, there will be better places to grow corn and worse places to grow corn. if you want this many people in your watershed, there are better places to have urban centers than others. so, i think it'll be a balancing act but what we hope to do is be able to understand the trade-offs because to have no impact, there would have to be no humans. and there's no optimum solution, but there's a sort of a trade-off curve where, in the end, people have to decide what kind of world they want to live in. funding for this program is provided by annenberg media. for information about this and other annenberg media programs, call... and visit us at... i think it breaks a little to the left. uh-uh. to the right. nope. straight. girl: come on! i told you it was going
