Study Architecture 
ProPEL 
Author(s): Catherine Bonier
The question is posed, “there is too much water and also too little, what can we do?”This is the contemporary conundrum. Water is rising, and weather events challenge everyboundary between land and sea. Simultaneously seasonal drought parches Silicon Valley,unsubtly mocking technological fixes. Clean water remains a luxury in many of the world’smost populous cities, and ancient water-related diseases such as cholera and yellow feverstill stalk the globe. Urban rivers offer the potential of remediation and recreation, but alsothreaten floods and illness. We define water as a resource and a crisis, and hope that we canpreserve it and be defended against it. But what can architecture do?
