Testing the Waters is a social design project that researches and problematises water management in urban public spaces. Using the guided tours typically offered to tourists in Porto, the project will tell stories about public fountains in the city’s historic centre, collecting testimonies and enhancing collective ways of dealing with the prospect of water scarcity.
