WLC’s Miranda Javid was recently given a global platform to discuss our “Ecologies of Water” programming theme as she participated in an interview with Drinkable Rivers, the organization founded by author Li An Phoa that works on water quality initiatives around the world.

Miranda’s interview, which was published this week, explores WLC’s coming participation in Drinkable Rivers’ citizen science program with the implementation of the “stream stewards” project. WLC is using Drinkable Rivers’ kits to train volunteers to test the water quality of the Sawkill as part of a yearlong collaboration with artist Jennifer Zackin called “Mapping the Sawkill.”

“As I was designing the Ecologies of Water program for this year, I had in mind that it would be great to incorporate some kind of participatory water quality testing.” Miranda said in the interview. She noted how pleased she was to find that Drinkable Rivers had the materials needed to launch it.
