WATER WORKS!

Think of the myriad Jobs that are overlooked When you turn on the tap, no matter where you live, in the city or a rural area: from digging wells, to drawing, fetching, purifying, and distributing water, STI ecosystems to studying, analyzing STI composition, con sus use in washing, the production of our food, the management of sewage and waste, the caring for equitable access to water, the Ensuring of environmental health and sustainability, paying homage to and highlighting water’s qualities or conditions …

Climate change , financial crises, war, and overall environmental damage, have all put Pressures on water forcing it to “work” as commodity capital and resource for growing and shifting human Populations. While non-human species and Natural Processes: such as coral reefs, wetlands and beavers “work” in the maintenance and transformation of water , there are Also the “works” created by the passing actions of floods, storms and tides. How can art, science, design, and activism reinstate the social, cultural and environmental value of water? How can we give recognition to the essential and invaluable ways That water works?
