For the first time in the history of humanity, we are no longer drinking natural water. Since the invention of aqueducts, we have been radically reshaping how water moves across the land, allowing population density to grow as the provision of water kept increasing. However, as the distances between clean water and these growing cities continued to grow, so did the risk of disease.
Modern tap water is now treated with several chemicals including chlorine and fluoride to reduce the risk of disease occurring during the transportation process. For most people around the world, we no longer have access to the clean and natural water we evolved alongside, instead we have this soup of chemicals that we are experimenting with.
Can we rewild our relationship with water by building a deeper understanding of the water in our place and its application for wellbeing?
