invite a mission in your area!

The Ministry of Water is a flexible organisation and we can pack up our things and come to your community.

Invite the Ministry to your community!

We can support your community in thinking about freshwater, in holding difficult and creative conversations with the powers that be, in raising issues that you want tackling and finding new solutions.

The Ministry would love to come to your community event offering (eg):

  • creative and water sample mapping

  • games exploring the big questions

  • water divining

  • photo marathon/exhibition of photo graphic evidence

 

Become an Agent of Evidence

The Ministry of Water is concerned at the lack of evidence about the state of freshwater in your area. We are creating a giant water sample map of the Conwy Vallies using water samples over time. If you have a stretch of river, an outlet pipe, a well, a pond, a bog, a lake that you care about, see or visit regularly, consider becoming an Agent of Evidence. We will provide you with training, a kit and an official Agent of Evidence badge

 

Be an Agent of Inspiration!

Here at the Ministry of Water we believe in the world-changing power of weird, difficult and challenging questions. Blow the whistle, ask questions and share your answers as an Agent of Inspiration.

The Ministry also has a mission to inspire action through the power of photographs. We seek Agents of Inspiration who have photos to share that tell a story about freshwater. Perhaps photos that help us remember the old ways, or that identify issues and places that need attention today and in the future

 

Join our team of Water Diviners!

The Ministry of Water endorses the ancient art of water divining for discovering the truth about water. We are seeking Water Diviners of all ages. You will receive training for your mission!
