Healing Water Institute Napier NEW ZEALAND

Since 1980, CIT staff has worked with the public and private sectors to advance irrigation, water, and energy technologies and management practices. When I moved across the country away from my family at age 18, the water is where I found a sense of home. “I have grown up being healed by the sound of water.” This sentence is the second sentence in my video, Healing in Blue , following one stating that the song being played was composed and recorded at Deer Lake. I feel as though it summarizes why I am saying thank you and why this thank you is through song.

In addition to providing water, this system is instilling hope in the people of Santa Lucia through better health and better opportunities. Still rebuilding from decades of conflict, millions of people in Cambodia still lack access to clean water. Located on a rice field, the purification system serves employees of the local rice mill as well as members of the local church. In a country where dirty water is often bottled and advertised as clean water, this system is providing healing-water the people of the community with a source of purified water they can rely on to be clean. Although we have been primarily focused on the state of Chiapas, last year we expanded our clean water programs into the state of Oaxaca and are extremely are excited by the momentum we have gained there. We are encouraged to see how safe water is transforming communities in both of these southern states and hope to continue spreading access to safe water throughout Mexico in the future.

Flowforms, Fluid Flows, The Fluent Heart

When Sarah was as an undergraduate at the Emily Carr University, she designed a Making Waveforms program in affiliation with the David Suzuki Foundation (a science-based non-profit organisation) in July/August 2019. A public screening and dialogue event launched participants' videos at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. This program is part of Sarah’s PhD research on reconciliation through relational, site-specific, media arts based environmental education on the water-climate change nexus in Canada and South Africa. Making Waveforms is an outdoor-education-meets-art-activism program championing global water justice. Through experiential learning, demonstrations and a number of field trips (i.e. water sports, riverside soundwalk, etc.), participants in this course are asked to explore their relationships with water. They are paired with local Knowledge Keepers and are tasked with building meaningful connections over a period of five weeks, to create short, site-specific videos to raise awareness about the importance of healthy waterways.

'A Scientifically Proven Method To Increase Water's Capacity To Support Life'

They are quite distinctive in design, existing at the margins where water moves between chaos and laminar flow and taking the form of crafted sculptures consisting of sequences of vessels arranged as either circular patterns or cascades. The water enters, spirals into a figure eight/infinity symbol within each vessel and then exits to move down the chain. He further defined water’s role as the source of all life on our planet and then specifically defined humankind’s relationship with water’s movements and characteristics. These compositions, called Flowforms, were the work of British sculptor John Wilkes, an inspired artist who for most of his professional life has explored ways to use water’s nature and characteristics as his medium. The Center for Irrigation Technology supports developing and deploying technologies that will bring the world the most innovative products and resource management tools. The Center is built on a foundation of innovation and technology transfer focused on testing, applied research, and entrepreneurship.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations. As mediator water behaves as an information carrier and this is related to its capacity when in movement to generate a multitude of surfaces within itself. These surfaces are indeed organs by means of which events and conditions within the total environment are mediated to the individual organism.
