Episode Synopsis "Ecotone; Wetness; The tide and the rain; Dilip Da Cunha"

" A river that flows back onto itself ” actually refers to the hydrologic cycle. It envelops the Earth in wetness. This wetness does not flow as water does; it holds, soaks, blows, seeps, osmotes, and transpires；The sea is very wet, the desert less so. That is to say, there is no line between land and water, only a coast between rain and tide; Mumbai has the major flood,  how to prevent flood?  You might say by building an embarkment, a levee, a spillway, a jetty, a revetment, a cutoff,  or any geological segments; but how to even separate land from water, especially during a summer monsoon?  What's the wetness in the ephemeral and the temporary.  Before structuring a river by construction, before imaging a river by representation lies distinguishing a river. And then we can talk about a mound on an open field, exposed to the flows and floods of a river. A mound, thus a habitation. Design, rather, crafts a literacy, constitutes the ground of habitation.
