Fresh Water is a book that addresses regional, territorial, and
continental water issues through inter-disciplinary design research
in landscape architecture. The geographical and hydrosocial context
of the major inland (non-coastal) watersheds of the North American
continent - the Mississippi, the Great Lakes Basin-St. Lawrence and
the Nelson - -remains an under-explored field for design research.
Major spatial, temporal, biological, and geological manipulations
of water bodies, systems, and flows raise critical questions about
how to redefine human-hydro relationships and to reverse the
deterioration of freshwater systems across the territory. Fresh
Water assembles scholarly papers from designers that reframe
complex issues of industrial agriculture, energy production, urban
sewersheds, water law, transportation tributaries, and
cross-watershed diversions, to propose new inland water futures.
Design contributors interrogate the institutional regime and
control of inland water, integrating diverse disciplinary knowledge
to support multi-scalar interventions that challenge land and water
policy to consider a range of new and urgent partnerships and
projects this century.
