Drawing on personal narratives, folklore and local history, they explore how the waters we live alongside shape who we are and connect us with one another. Here are stories of polluted rivers, landscapes threatened by rising sea levels and communities flooded to create reservoirs – issues which threaten the future of homelands, cultures and communities in Wales.
