Description

Repairing memory & place: An Indigenous-led approach to urban water design. This project aims to integrate Indigenous ways of knowing with urban water management by pioneering an interdisciplinary approach that enmeshes Indigenous practice with mainstream water management techniques. It expects to generate new knowledge in urban water management by using On Country Learning and design-led approaches to integrating disparate knowledge. Expected outcomes include new tools for urban water management and a framework for engaging Indigenous water-management expertise. This should provide significant benefits by enabling the repair of ecological and cultural memory of place and enabling government agencies to apply Indigenous practices to everyday management of urban water towards a more sustainable water future.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 2002 - Cultural Studies. Lead: Prof Brian Martin
