Sediment and Sedimentation water story series is focused on physical and spiritual sedimentation processes within waterways including rivers, aqueducts, and city infrastructures. For example, river sediment is the solid material that is transported and deposited by rivers and it can have many effects on the surrounding environment. We engage these processes as well as the scientific and technological meanings: memory making, storytelling, history and historical craft, and data collection. How do we meaningfully engage sediment and sedimentation as composite material, temporal stratification, and environmental determinate? How does technology, technological waste, and forced spatial-temporal manipulation impact these environmental processes?

The Water Intelligence Project (WIP) seeks to disrupt the pipeline between water innovation and water law. Globally, dominant forms of water governance are mediated through systems of computation. Digital technologies, algorithms, and other data structures are therefore at work in governing decisions about water and natural resources, often without structures of public information and accountability.
