Exhibition fridays 17-20 clock
Drinking water is advertised as pure and clear. In drinking water, however, small amounts of hormonally active trace substances from medicine are included. The groundwater is increasingly contaminated with fertilizer by nitrate. The Berlin Spree turns brown from the iron oxide of the former lignite mines. In public waters, multidrug-resistant bacteria from sewage treatment plants can be found. The water was pure and clear before industrialization. The art exhibition critically examines water pollution as a global problem and how we treat water from a sustainable perspective.
What do artists say about “The water was pure and clear”?

The Importance of Water Evaporation for Climate Change:
“Globally, every day about 800 km² of vegetation is lost through deforestation, urbanization and the spread of deserts, which roughly corresponds to the area of Berlin.” With the loss of vegetation and the loss of evaporation, we not only lose the cooling effect, as a result, evaporation is lacking for formation According to Kravčík et al (2007), this is the main cause of global warming, a climate change caused by unsustainable land use, which has been known since antiquity (Wright 2017) and the reduction of global warming to CO2 emissions the handle of action from the hand of the “green industry” (Salleh 2016, Schmidt 2016). ”
