Abstract

The Water Dialogues was a series of discussions held April 16 - 21, 2012 at Bennington College. While access to water is considered to be a fundamental human right, available fresh water is diminishing causing food shortages, ecological destruction, and increased geo-political tension. Dialogue among people who share the need for clean water, concern about its scarcity, and a determination to effect positive change can result in new attitudes toward conservation, methods of distribution, and technologies. Participants in the Water Dialogues included scientists, mediators, artists, and policy makers working on the ground locally, nationally, and globally as well as Bennington students, faculty, and staff.
