\"Spree<\/a>

Spree Brown, C T.A.<\/p><\/div>\n

Exhibition Fridays from 17-20<\/p>\n

Drinking water is advertised as pure and clear. However, drinking water contains small amounts of hormonally active trace substances, e.g. from medicine. Groundwater is increasingly polluted with nitrate due to artificial fertilizers. Berlin’s Spree River turns brown from the iron oxide of former open-pit lignite mines. Multi-resistant germs from sewage treatment plants are found in public waters. 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.<\/p>\n

Lecture<\/strong> Nov. 30, 7 p.m. “Water locally and the global context”: Marco Schmidt, TU-Berlin
The importance of water evaporation to climate change:
“Globally, about 800 km\u00b2 of vegetation is lost every day due to deforestation, urbanization and desertification. This is roughly equivalent to the area of Berlin. With the loss of vegetation and evaporation, we not only lose the cooling effect, as a consequence, evaporation for the formation of precipitation is missing. According to Krav\u010d\u00edk et al. (2007), this is the main cause of global warming. This climate change, triggered by unsustainable land use, has been known since ancient times (Wright 2017). The reductionism of global warming to CO2 emissions took the reins out of the hands of the “green industry” (Salleh 2016, Schmidt 2016).”<\/p>\n
