Why it works
The first 1.8 seconds deliver a blunt claim through voice, headline and a globe-shaped tap, so the premise works with or without sound. Fourteen illustrated scenes turn figures into a changing pond, aquifer cross-section, water meter, recycling loop and return graphic; the hopeful pivot lands around 0:36. The personal weekly-cost close at 1:13–1:18 coincides with the strongest non-opening replay peak (1:13.5–1:14.3).
