We'd like to thank everyone who contributed to Deep Water. Many of the same disputes and ideas about protecting New York City and the upstate community surfaced again - much as they had in 1905. Barricades and police officers were placed along strategic points. Officials rushed to protect the Ashokan Reservoir. We quickly sold out of our video edition.Īfter 9/11, the New York City water supply once again became big news. We received extensive news coverage from the Woodstock Times to the New York Times. Deep Water was broadcast on WMHT (PBS/Schenectady) and was shown in the Woodstock Film Festival and at libraries throughout the Northeast. When we first released Deep Water we were surprised at how much interest there was in Catskill Mountain history. This release celebrates that anniversary and the communities that make up the Catskill Mountains. It has been 100 years since the Ashokan Reservoir went up on the drawing boards. Original music by Robbie Dupree, Artie Traum, Abby Newton, John Herald and many others can be heard throughout the project. In addition to the documentary, the DVD includes two slide shows with over 900 rare photos and vintage film clips. We're proud to release the DVD version of Deep Water: The True Story of the Ashokan Reservoir, the Schoharie Reservoir and the Ten Lost Towns. Hundreds of vintage photographs, rare films and interviews with historians and residents make "Deep Water" a compelling and moving documentary. In the time when the world faces severe water shortages, the Catskill system remains one of the most successful water projects of our time. Today, the Watershed provides billions of gallons of pure water to New York City. It is the story of a city desperate for pure water and the reluctant rural area that was forced to provide it. Completed in stages between 19, the Ashokan and Schoharie Reservoirs were built by thousands of stone cutters, bridge builders, railroad workers, tunnel diggers and mule drivers. The building of the Catskill Water System is the tale of heroism and heartbreak, political maneuvering, lost villages, brilliant engineering and a power struggle between New York City and the Catskills.
