A research library

Water

There are many reasons to restore our respect for, and relation with, water as the giver of life.

This page is research for the College of Exploration, in preparation for a workshop, workshops, a course or courses on Water. It is also carried on the CoExplorer Project and College of Exploration sites — readers have found it and offered suggestions, which are added below. Please send me your contributions.

One reason why

In This Town, Only The Rich Get Water

The library

A living, categorised collection of sources on water — its sacredness, its science, its anomalies, its literacy and education, the watersheds we live in, and the researchers who have spent their lives studying it.
