The "Biosphere" on Ile St. Helene in Montreal has a very interesting
exhibition about the economic, ecological, social, cultural,
recreational (just about every) aspect of water and our realtionship with
water. It is definately worth a look for its comprehensive "treatment" of
water and its importance to society. It has some very innovative
interactives (both technical and not).
