 World Water Day 2001
 Water Course - the Experience Installation in Graz
To make the inhabitants aware of the vital resource water – this was the task many water institutions in Styria committed themselves to in the course of this year’s World Water Day.

Under the professional guidance of Hermann Hyden and Otto Sohm, a 500 square metre near-natural rivulet landscape was created for this purpose on the Tummelplatz of Graz, showing the "water course" beginning at the catchment of a mountain torrent down to the lowlands of the Styrian hills in a 1:1 model. About 140,000 visitors used the opportunity to experience the many different aspects of the element water, e.g. as a habitat for fish species, as field of bio-engineering measures or as a basis for human life (water quality analysis) – and all that right in the city centre!
