DVD / HARNESSING NATURE BUILDING THE GREAT SACANDAGA by Lauren Roberts
Nestled in the southern foothills of the majestic Adirondack Mountains is the great Sacandaga Lake, the largest mand-made body of water in New York State. This is the story of how the people of the Sacandaga Valley sacrificed their homes, their farms and their livelihoods for the greater good. It is a story of heartbreak, rebirth and a remarkable engineering feat in its own right. The construction of the Sacandaga Reservoir was the solution for residents along the Hudson who had suffered staggering losses from years of flooding, which was long overdue. Watch the challenges and growth of the pioneering efforts and transformation of this unique human accomplishment.
