The Dreaming: Aboriginal spirituality relies on the dreaming to describe the "fundamental reality" of aboriginals past, present and future. Aboriginals concept of time was and is different to the modern western society. They believe the concept of dreaming began at the beginning of creation and repeats through every generation- "the dreaming began at the dawn of time, remains bound up in the present, and will endure forever." As the dreaming is still present today in Aboriginal spirituality, it shows how the dreaming connecting adherents to their law, customs, spirituality through the paradigms of song, dance, art and rituals. For example, The 'Be' story that comes from the Dalabon country explains the connection between animals and humans

The Ngarrindjeri is an Aboriginal nation is made up of 18 tribes, extending 30km along the river Murray (slsa SA gov, 2012). Having been ushered to leave their land, the Ngarrindjeri people were greatly affected by white settlement. Culture within the Ngarrindjeri nation is central to water specifically being the Coorong and River Murray (CSIRO, 2010). Having great relations between the water and their cultural beliefs, shows the general agreement which white people have come to learn; “living with the land” (ACME, 2008)

Owing to this week study, I learn the difference between water quality and water quantity, whereas tackle water pollution is a matter of utmost urgency. Like other communities, people in my country continues to trivialize the world's top environmental problem, sparse drinkable water. Hence, I want to make hay while I could, share the knowledge about water supply with my fellow peers, family members, friends, let more and more people aware of the potential water problems and then take necessary precaution to save our only planet.

Everyday, billions of people use water all over the world. They use water in drinks and food. They use water for bathing and hygiene. They use water in agriculture and industry. They use water for so many things. However, there are many problems with the usage of water around the world. In his editorial, “Our Water System: What a Waste”, Michael E. Webber explains how America has a water problem, and how that problem can be solved.

In the book “Blue Future”, world-renowned water activist Maude Barlow, inspires readers as she explores her vast experiences and knowledge to outline a key set of principles that offer a solution to what she pleas to be “the defining issue of our time” (Barlow, 2013, p. 4), the fight for water equality. Principle One: Water Is a Human Right, drives the concept that water should be delivered to all, while pressing into the higher powers that act as barriers to the recognition of this vital concept. Principle Two: Water Is a Common Heritage, disputes the ethics behind privatization of water and reinforces the notion that this vital resource is to be viewed as a public good, which should not be bought nor sold. Principle Three: Water Has Rights Too, explores the environmental aspects of water supply, pushing for changes in current laws and practices that put the earths water sources at risk. Principle Four: Water Can Teach Us How to Live Together, urges the global community to join together in order to address a common issue of water insecurity, in addition to adapting our currents ways, allowing us to “live more lightly on the earth” (Barlow, 2013, p. 207).

Among all of the resources in the world, there is one that we do not often consider to be diminishing. The masses take this resource, water, for granted. When the average person takes a single look at a world map, they see multiple blue oceans covering the Earth. But, although we are surrounded by water, our clean water reserves dwindle rapidly. In her article, “Water Works”, Cynthia Barnett attempts to bring this issue to greater light and offers her own solutions. While I agree with many of Barnett’s points, she fails to look at the arguments of her detractors to the detriment of her already flawed case.

“This is Water” will open the reader's eyes by using relatable subjects that the majority of society can understand. The author tries to convey the “ harsh “ truth of society using minuscule tasks can be the hardest

Even though there are many Aboriginal tribes with often different Stories to explain the creation of themselves and the land, there is a similarity in all the stories across the continent. (Rose D, 1996). As Western society attempts to explain their world view through a creation story involving a central God, the Aboriginals explain their world view through a creation story involving Ancestral Spirits. (Dean C, 1996)

The material significance of water is clear. Water is an essential part of human life. Whether it’s the water we ingest in order to maintain the strength and integrity of our bodily structure and functions, or the water in our oceans that preserve the fragile ecosystem of our planet and cover a majority of the Earth’s surface. We have learned to exploit water for our survival and our leisure, sometimes at great risk. However, water also has a psychological significance to humans. There is something about water that has always attracted humanity. It is evident from our literature that humanity has often felt drawn to the water. Some good examples of this are Tim Winton’s 2008 novel ‘Breath’ and ‘The Bloody Past, the Wandering Future’, written by Janette Turner Hospital as a part of her ‘Dislocation’ series in 1990.

Throughout this weeks reading, a strong understanding of Aboriginal connection and understanding of the land is highlighted. The reading is givin in first person from the perspective of Laklak Burarrwanga a Datiwuy Elder. In this reading Burarrwanga states that Aboriginal communities connect with Bawaka (meaning country) and everything living within the environment this includes other individuals, animals, plants and non-living objects for example wind and rain. Through this strong Aboriginal inextricable connection, the land provides Aboriginal communities with food, shelter, culture, beliefs and protection. Aboriginal’s have a obligation to the land and are expected to care for the land as in return the land will care for them. Each Aboriginal

Water is a very important commodity to live. Some people say it’s a right, but others at as if it’s a privilege, and as a result, people lack it. The human body is about sixty percent water, but in what I have seen just in my twenty years of life, people do not drink merely enough of it. Instead, water has been replaced as a go-to drink by things like milk, coffee, pop, or energy drinks, but natural energy lies in water. With water we can be more energized, awake, and of course, hydrated, which all together collaborate to help us flourish, stay healthy, and live long. It’s most of the earth’s surface, too; water’s all around us, but we neglect it and deny its crucial place in our health and humanity.

Water covers 70% of our planet, and it is easy to think that it will always be plentiful. However, freshwater, what we drink, bathe in, irrigate our farm fields with makes up only 3% of the world’s water, and two-thirds of that is stored in frozen glaciers or unavailable for our use. Many of the water systems that keep ecosystems thriving and feed a growing human population have become stressed. Rivers, lakes and aquifers are drying up or becoming too polluted to use. Already, 80 countries suffer from water shortages that threaten health and economies while 40 percent of the world—more than 2 billion people—does not have access to clean water or sanitation
