In this era of climate change, our relationship to water – be it rain or rivers, for drinking or wastewater – is changing. A new awareness and an understanding of how we can use water sustainably, are needed, and we must investigate how we can prepare for heavy rain, droughts and flooding. This publication presents a range of design research methods which build on our thinking-through-making approach, which tailored specifically to fit the complex situations we faced.
