Week 3_WONDER IN ARDEN Site Visit Photograph In week 2, we were to explore the site both physically and through documentation. I was allocated for mapping the ‘water, ponds, creek and flood’ identities on the Arden Precinct site, and by undertaking thorough research on the site, mapping that information related to water through using various mapping techniques thus I narratives the relationship between potential flooding area and the blue lake history that have been left hidden, erased and forgotten. Consider now, before the colony and the period that Melbourne required an expansion due to population growth. The water mapping has shown that the water has been reducing and drying out in the site since urban development. The map also relates to: where the water is coming from, where the waste will be sewerage to, where the water system is, and the rainwater rate percentage in this area from 1900 to 2010. Water is essential for us to maintain our daily life. In a modern city, how wastewater has been sewerage and reused is also necessary to consider and discuss. Overall, this task has given me board knowledge about the water identity of the Arden precinct.
