15. How Does This Relate
The Water Tank Project relates to my topic of droughts and floods due to the
reason it brings awareness of scarce water due to droughts. The Water Project
was inspired by the documentary in Ethiopia where villages struggled to find
water sources.

Mary Jordan is a filmmaker where’s research begins with
documenting. For instance The Water Tank Project began with
her time in Ethiopia and she learned about the scarce water
problems in the village.
