Design an innovative art piece that will:
•Educate the general public through a social justice lens
•Provide an innovative solution, real or envisioned, to any one of the following issues:
Water quality issues: Water quality is a measure of the condition of water dependent on its intended use such as for drinking, recreation, sanitation, etc. Water quality issues arise as there are inequitable access to clean safe water.
Water variability issues: Changes in the availability and distribution of water as a result of shifting climate patterns. Water variability issues arise as low income communities and developing countries feel more of the weight on water variability issues.
Water scarcity issues: Lack of access to sufficient and readily accessible water resources to meet demand. Water scarcity issues arise as low income communities and developing countries feel more of the weight on water scarcity issues.
