The exhibition combines the creative power of design with visionary concepts from science to address the global challenge of not only preserving the unique and vital substance of water but also using it more sustainably and equitably in the long term.
Although access to water is recognized as a human right, around two billion people worldwide lack access to clean drinking water, and approximately 3.5 billion lack safe basic sanitation. Overexploitation of water resources as well as the drying up and pollution of rivers, lakes, and groundwater reserves exacerbate this crisis. Across five chapters, WATER PRESSURE presents scenarios that look into the future, raising awareness about the vital resource of water and aiming to improve water justice.
