What Lies Under The Ground Beneath Your Feet? is a tool kit that invites people into conversations about water rights and access. The kit encompasses a mobile space and 3 engagement tools encouraging people to playfully get to know their spaces and city, with a focus on water geography and public access to water.

The project has been organized into 5 distinct sections:
