Miyah – World of Water, a distinctively interactive installation illustrating the importance of global water sustainability, will debut during this year’s edition of the Mother of the Nation Festival, taking place on Abu Dhabi Corniche until 4th of April 2017. The installation aims to shed light on the value of water preservation, while outlining its role in sustaining all life forms.
Reflecting the inspirational vision and values of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak’s, and in line with this year’s Festival themes of conservation, sustainability, empowerment, education and collaboration, Miyah – World of Water aims to engage the public through creating awareness of the positive impact of water sustainability, showcasing in an interactive presentation in more than 20 languages, the value and origins of this precious natural resource, uses in sustaining life as well as global consumption rates.
The experience’s five zones start off by invoking visitors to appreciate the cleansing power of water, before taking them into multiple educational and scientific presentations of the water cycle, the human water footprint and global water consumption in agriculture, industry and households, complete with fun facts about its role to human, animal and plant life.
The subject of water sustainability is further illustrated through captivating image galleries which showcase the UAE’s collective efforts in addressing water distribution, desalination processes and scarcity issues. A compelling presentation highlights some global initiatives in water sourcing and preservation, as well national initiatives to safeguard the UAE’s water reserves such as Masdar’s Renewable Energy Water Desalination Programme, the UAE Research Programme for Rain Enhancement Science Initiative, the UAE Water Aid Campaign as well as other water-related UAE Partnership Programmes.
