About NWC . . .
| Located in the Ozarks bioregion, the
National Water Center has for two decades cultivated and articulated a clean water
practice based upon appropriate technology and personal responsibility.
We've always been a bit unorthodox
and radical in our approach as an environmental organization. |
(Heal the Waters by Christina Moon)

We seek to understand the fundamentals of water, the essence of water, the spirit of water. Hydrology, water resource management, waste water and water treatment technologies have all been researched and archived here at
the Water Center. We've protested, congressed, testified, proclaimed, called for environmental impact statements, attended thousands of
hours of meetings, written volumes of information and networked our concerns globally.
We have not become complacent in our ecological quest for "healing the earth's waters"; we have chosen to maintain the organization as simply as
is possible.
To us, the process of cultivating clean water consciousness is just as important as the goal. Therefore, the primary parameter for our
organization is to have "fun" while we carry on with the work. As ecological activists, the urgency to "fix the polluted water" was beginning to take its toll.
We decided to re-organize with a fresh format.
Now we rarely have meetings, although we constantly communicate; we research, write and publish without the construct of a "deadline"; we've chosen not to harass our membership with constant pleas for
money realizing that our financial needs will be met in accordance with our operative integrity; and we've chosen to integrate a metaphysical approach
to our water work, streaming concepts for the emerging ecological society. Thus our fresh quest is delving into the "meta-ecology" of water to better understand our symbiotic relationship to the Earth.
Aqua Terra: Metaecology and Culture is our publication reflecting that quest.
We are excited about this web site as our current vehicle to express these ideas
and invite all who wish to participate in www.nationalwatercenter to submit
their work to Barbara Harmony, peace@ipa.net.
Our other publication, We All Live Downstream, A Guide To Waste Treatment That Stops Water Pollution also reflects
this quest.
Both publications are available from National Water Center, 5473 Hwy 23N, Eureka
Springs, AR 72631 USA for $10.
