Part 1: Lexicon

60 lemmas set up a Lexicon towards a collective understanding of the framework. Through keywords, objects, institutions, ideals and failures, this Lexicon aims to explore the water systems and their components on a global scale, capturing all the relevant investigations and definitions. From fresh water to waste and from water culture to conflicts and control, the selected lemmas interrogate the space between optimization and disaster, mythology and politics, potable water and commercialization.
