Living Waters Museum
The Rainbow Farm
Living Waters Museum. Manthan Educational Programme Society, India and aProCh. Ayaan Jariwala/ 4.
The drawing is a reflection of colours in the farm which are brought through sustainable practices and constant irrigation facilities in the villages of India. The story of life on the farm and its rich biodiversity has also been displayed through the drawing. The drawing depicts the importance of dams, the canals which have reached the interior villages and the rivers which bring minerals and life to the crops and the produce. The waters from the rivers truly bring ‘rainbows’ to the farms and people’s lives.

The Water Shop
National Water Museum of China. Hangzhou Chovan Century City Experimental School, China. Tong Zeping.
In the future, water will become the most precious thing on earth. Humans live under the management of robots that do not need water. Due to lack of water, the whole earth has become desert. This is a shop selling water. Not only does it cost ten dollars for every drop of water, but a person can only buy ten milliliters at most. If we do not save water and continue to waste water resources, this is likely to be our future life. Therefore, please cherish every drop of water, protect ourselves and protect nature!

Savings Are Essential for Water Sustainability

This Drawing represents the importance of saving water by using a comparison with saving money. People value money a lot, but they should value water equally (or even more), in particularly drinking water!

The Monster inside

There are many problems in the world, such as water shortage, but also floods. The climate is changing. Now we have to act! I have tried to draw attention to the problem of water pollution. I made a globe that falls apart. And a tap where no water comes out anymore. This is how my work of art came about.

The Village Fountain
Leonida Trutà Water Museum, Cluj-Napoca. "Alexandru Borza" Technological High School, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Denisa Mihaela Filip.
The village fountain, the place where our grandparents and great-grandparents met most of the time when they went with the animals to water. The place where children drink ice-cold water on hot days and cool off, the meeting place of the young people of the village who courted and made plans for the future together. The fountain has remained in everyone's memory as a well-deserved resting place that brings everyone the reward it deserves. The village changed at the same time as the fountain. It is now used as a source of water for humans due to its purity. Nothing compares to the natural water that comes from mother nature on a sunny summer day. I wish my future children could enjoy this fountain, as so many generations in a row have enjoyed. Even if to some it seems like nothing at all, for us, those who understand the purity and joy of small things, it means a lot. The fountain, the place with memories of generations.

AQUATIKA – Freshwater Aquarium, Karlovac
Past and Present on the River
Aquatika – Freshwater Aquarium Karlovac. Primary School Mahično, Karlovac, Croatia. Fran Sušilović.
"I talked about life on the river Kupa with my grandmother who grew up on the river. The river used to mean a lot to them. Everything they did was related to the river. They did her laundry, they watered cattle, soaked hemp and flax from which they wove cloth for clothing and folk costumes. Across the river they crossed to the other shore in a boat, which they called a “čun”. In the summer they bathed and refreshed after hard work in the field. To me, a little boy, the river is very dear, I love it. I find shells in it, I like to go swimming in the summer. In the spring, it is best to walk along the river and throw pebbles deep into the water. By the river, always on the shore I find springs and other colorful tubes. We are very happy to live near the river."

Down by the Riverside
Museos de Mequinenza. Centro de FP 'Santa Agatoclia', Mequinenza, Spain. Ana Mendoza Sueiro.
My project aims to highlight the beauty and importance of the riparian woodlands, which is a vital part of the water ecosystem. They are rich in biodiversity and also provide defense against flooding. They are also artistic places, where we can appreciate the force of water (old trunk), the passage of time (with the spring flowers) and the changes of nature.

Venice Is a Fish
River Navigation Museum of Battaglia Terme. Secondary school ITCS "Maria Lazzari" of Dolo, Italy. 4^D.
We created a video that compares two realities: the first one shows a polluted, busy, noisy and dirty area; the second one presents a clean and quiet area with natural colours, where the human footprint does not affect the environment. We propose this video in order to invite visitors to explore a path in an area that is neither crowded nor polluted. A peaceful and pleasant place! As for food, let’s dive into the typical Venetian Happy Hour with Cicchetti & Spritz. So, watch our video and…don’t underestimate seaguils!

Tis is a Bengali Folk Song of the Bhatiyali Genre also knwn as the boatmen songs.. "For men may come and men may go, I go on forever” Our Sail meanders and is guided by the ebb and flow in the greeat river of faith. However far we may drift yet we are insignificant in front of the unfathomable. Far far from the time unknown humans have tried to master the river, in search of civilization. Yet like our desires the journey a mock. The river remains unquenched.
