Water represents the second operation in the alchemical transformation of 'prima materia' to alchemical 'gold,' called Dissolution, which represents the bliss of being well-used and actively engaged in creative acts without traditional prejudices, personal hang-ups, or established hierarchy getting in the way.

In Society, the process of steady growth through gradual Dissolution is exemplified by agrarian or agriculture-based lifestyles. On the Planetary level, Dissolution is the Great Flood, the cleansing of the earth of all that is inferior (read: unsustainable). (ref: http://www.deeptrancenow.com/exc3_dissolution.htm)

Invoking the element of alchemical water in our work answers the question, 'how?', and furthers the process of the alchemical transformation. Our approach to the problems of our culture and society involve looking at things outside of the box. We see that transformation and activity are necessary.

Now, how will we go about this?

We will build the new within the crumbling structures of the old.

Which means taking our cities and revamping them, bit by bit.
