Why work with Reading Water?
The boating lingo, “Reading Water” is the process of blending learned experiences with the careful observation and study of the environment to navigate downstream. Similarly, we blend curiosity and ways of knowing water to stay current on stewardship.
“Samara uses her inherent knowledge of river culture meshed with modern research to extrapolate the story that is shared by the river and the human. The River Radius has gained excellent content in a very smooth process from working with Samara and Reading Water.”
