Tag along on the journey of water through the Santa Maria River Watershed.

From the emergence of spring water in the Los Padres National Forest, this first-person POV documentary follows the path of water through cattle grazing grasslands, wine vineyards, the Twitchell Reservoir, coastal broccoli farmland, and ultimately to the Rancho Guadalupe Dunes Preserve, where for the fist time after three years of drought, an estuary spills directly into the Pacific Ocean.
