Nature Justice: Warning tribunal of Waters

The mythological Acheloos, the ancestor of all rivers, fought with Hercules, symbolizing the timeless toil of man to turn destructive river power into a creative one. Today, the Acheloos River is a network of natural and artificial ecosystems, whose boundaries are either intensifying or disappearing. In 2031, with the Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Water Bodies, these natural elements acquire legal personhood. The two conflicting sides are now the Greek State and the newly formed Company of Acheloos. The Wandering Tribunal of Waters becomes responsible for resolving their disputes. It traces the water body and locates four landscapes-witnesses to it: the dam, the yard, the isle and the ruin. According to their seasonality and physical / artificial organization, an outdoor court hearing is planned for each.  There, the case of Acheloos unfolds and is judged as the landscapes testify and deposit a piece of the history of the dual nature of the river.
