Water Stories is a website that shares different stories of Cape Town’s water, designed to communicate the work of those who are endeavouring to restore life and health to oceans, rivers, aquifers, streams and vleis (note to non-Saffers: vleis is South Africanese for wetlands and lakes; the singular is vlei). Highlighting the work of citizens, community organisations and scientists involved in water research and cleanups, Water Stories dives in to Cape Town’s water flows from a central map from where readers can find information and stories about Cape Town’s water spaces.

A collaboration of EHS at the University of Cape Town (South Africa), Mycelium Media Colab (South Africa), University of Western Cape (South Africa) and the University of Stavanger (Norway).
