Rationale
In an environment where we have relatively unlimited access to water it is easy for us to disregard and forget that H2O is a precious resource which isn’t so readily available in other countries around the world. We can mindlessly watch this invaluable commodity be flushed down the drain without a second thought of the millions of people who are struggling without it everyday.
It is with this thought we decided to closely observe and analyse urban drains, which otherwise would be forgotten and overlooked. By putting the spotlight on drains the consumer considers our societies water treatment and if it is the best course of action for us, and if it is making the most of our bountiful supply of water.
We aimed to capture contrasting types of drains to portray the variety of issues within this world wide problem, including neglected, overused, large and small. The inclusion of photos depicting rubbish built up in some of the drains highlights our passive and careless nature to our water treatment. Though hopefully our photo essay will greater awaken us to the role of drains in our urban society.
