Burtynsky already began to plan the project back in 2007. Water shows the degree and impact of industry and consumption on our water resources.
At the same time, Burtynsky also documents the different roles that water plays in our modern lifestyle – as the original, yet endangered, source of a healthy ecosystem, as a key element in culture and religious rituals, and as a raw material that is dangerously and quickly being exhausted.
In addition to striking, the photographs create a captivating global portrait that illustrates the past, present and future relationship between man and nature, and the most important of resources, water.
