The term “flow” generally refers to the movement of a liquid body. In terms of wetlands, water flow is a fundamental process that largely defines the correlation between life and space. The rhythms of water—particularly in volume and speed—have historically functioned as forecasting tools for humans and non-humans alike to build their livelihoods.1
Media description:
As a fundamental rule, movement causes sound; a silent body does not flow. The dynamic acoustics of a moving body (frequency and volume of its sound) carry a wealth of information, not only regarding the body itself but also the space it occupies. In an ontology based on wetlands and water-based interactions, water flow represents the most fundamental cycle, from leaking to drainage. Eventually, this process will lead to segregation.2
