Hydrological Consequences

A sound work exploring multiple perspectives on water and rivers, the passage of time and the power of water as a primordial element. We hear from the river police who enforce the law on the waterways, a local archaeologist who explores the liminal intertidal zones picking through the centuries of rubbish and debris to make sense of the past and present, divers talking us through the experience and sensations of being submerged beneath the depths and a chorus of voices sharing their fears of water and dreams of drowning.
The piece features interviews with diving instructors at the Plymouth Diving Centre, Archaeologist and Local Historian, John Brown, Inspector Gordon Peters of the Ministry of Defence River Police and dream recollections of staff and patients at Forth Valley Royal Hospital, Larbert.
