To open the discussion, the moderator said that the class will be divided into two sessions; lecture and the question and answer session. The first session which was the lecture was given by Nila Ardhianie where she talked about the basic function of water. Generally, water is a vital resource for human life because it is important for our body’s metabolism and the development of a city. The importance of water in a human’s life is equal to that of food. In this regard, both resources are important to fulfill human’s biological need, economical commodity, or cultural strength.  The difference is that food is decentralized, locally grown, and is a part of the individual’s initiative. Meanwhile, water is organized by big bureaucrats, technical control, action and collective intervention in a system of centralized decision making.  read more
