THE VOICES OF WATER
Ancient Hydro-Technologies for the ecological transition
At a time when technological innovation has shown countless advantages but also limitations, we can learn from the invaluable lessons of our predecessors to foster new ways of coexistence with Nature. The contribution of WAMU-NET to the 10th World Water Forum (Bali, Indonesia) featured a multi-channel video installation on Ancient Hydro-Technologies (AHTs) titled ’The Voices of Water’. The installation illustrates how ancient water cultures are an inspiring source to foster rich biodiversity and for sustainable water management. To learn more, visit our online exhibits.
THE WATER WE WANT
The Global Network of Water Museums for sustainability education
Explore the history of WAMU-NET: why a global network of museums and institutions was created with the aim of fostering a ‘new culture of water’, how it involves an increasing number of water museums and young people, and when it was endorsed by UNESCO-IHP (Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme) in order to better promote water sustainability education worldwide. The youth contest and award ‘The Water We Want’ is held on an annual basis to boost water awareness education through museums.
PROMOTING WATER EDUCATION
Diverse and more forward-looking ancient practices of social water management have produced unique hydraulic heritage around the world and have been passed down through the generations for their capacity to preserve the ecosystem services on which human health is based. Explore how such farsighted systems of knowledge that are based on a long-term vision can target the SDGs through nature-based solutions, low energy, and zero-waste technology that foster tangible benefits for biodiversity.
