Water Inquiry Wiki

Water is an essential part of our every day existence that we often take for granted. Our inquiry into water will take us in different directions: examining water as a natural resource, a commodity, a tool, as well as the politics of water and its place in cultures around the world. You will direct your own focus of learning and will share your findings with others. The wiki will be a place for discussions, resources and questions.
