‘Water Connects’ Ek Pavitra Bandhan
Water has a Connective Capacity! The interdependence of societal, ecological, economic, cultural, and political aspects revolving around water systems forms the essence of civilization. The connective capacity of water is paramount, bridging diverse functions within human society and ecosystems. The ‘Water Connects‘ theme for the Water Fest 2024 is a tribute to this profound connective power, dedicated to revitalizing the relationship between water resources and individuals vested with its stewardship.
The Water Fest will be hosted in Kashi/Benaras/Varanasi, a historical location significant for its connotation & connection with water. The two-days event hosted by *WforW Foundation, along with the Department of Civil Engineering of IIT-BHU and Drop Dead Foundation, will serve as a platform for dialogue, discussion, debate, documentation and dissemination on water-related worries and wisdom. Participants will engage in a myriad of water (Jal-) activities such as, ‘Aadan Pradan’ (Knowledge Exchange), ‘Samvad’ Interactions, ‘Samudayik Vyastata’ (Community Engagement), ‘Khel-Kood’ (Games), ‘Kala aur Sanskriti’ (Arts and Culture).
The objective of the Water Fest is to rekindle the sacred bond between humanity and water, fostering a deeper understanding of our collective responsibility in conserving this invaluable resource. The theme, ‘Water Connects, derived from Pavitra Bandhan’, aims to bring together scientific knowledge and societal awareness by presenting water-related challenges and solutions in accessible ways to engage and empower the water community.
The Water Fest aspires to be a catalyst for change, initiating a ripple effect that extends beyond the event’s duration. Through inclusive and holistic conversations, it seeks to create a sustainable engagement towards water conservation, embodying the ethos of ‘making water everybody’s business.’
