Water is a source of life and a human right. Overconsumption compounded by greater water demand and climate change will continue to strain this vital resource across the globe unless we begin changing our behavior and implementing more sustainable systems. Small changes can have big results when amplified across many.*
By taking time to bring awareness to the path water takes from your municipal water supply to your home, we hope to create positive change in the form of knowledge of an often overlooked and forgotten journey (for those of us fortunate to live in places with a municipal water supply) within our everyday physical and mental maps.*

Isla Urbana is an interdisciplinary group of designers, urbanists, engineers, anthropologists, educators, and artists dedicated to demonstrating how rainwater harvesting is a viable solution for Mexico’s water crisis.
Isla Urbana has designed an environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable rainwater harvesting system that collects and cleans rainwater for households, schools, and health clinics.
As half of Earth’s population now lives in cities, creating sustainable urban systems has the greatest impact on environmental and social issues. To ensure a future with access to clean water – the most vital resource on the planeta – innovative water saving technologies must be enacted on a large scale starting today.
