| Abstract: |
| The way water flows and shapes the surface of the Earth, interacting with all forms of
life, is often used as the defining element of a landscape. Landscapes are ‘lifescapes’: the
space within which human lives can run their course; without access to water no humans
can live. The archetypical landscape that we see as beautiful includes clean water, trees in
an accessible, half-open terrain, and sources of food and physical security (Dutton, 2010).
Beyond artistic beauty, sense of place and identity, water is of key importance to many
aspects of human life |
