Most of the ancient civilization had its roots to river basins, where people-water interaction was the key aspect.

People have become more dependent to the system, and consequently, the closeness to water is gradually diminishing. It is however, a challenge on how to learn from the basic principles of water human interaction and apply those lessons to the current context of urban and rural settings.
