The Living Waters Museum (LWM) recognizes the need to collect and collate our rich and diverse traditions of water practices as a living and dynamic repository of visualized knowledge, which can both commemorate the past, inspire the present and be a source of learning for the future. The museum will be built as an open access online platform, licensed under the Creative Commons, and housing both more permanent records (e.g. water archives on customs, laws) and periodic exhibitions featuring different aspects of water cultures, livelihoods and ecologies
