From MIT World

"Rafael Bras, a professor of civil and environmental engineering who pioneered the field of hydrologic science, is MIT's James R. Killian Jr. Faculty Achievement Award winner for 2008-2009."






“It covers 70% or so (of the planet), but even more, water in the hydrology cycle sets the environment, makes life on Earth feasible, and whether we like it or not, we depend completely on it. It is the circulatory system of Earth, it is the lymphatic fuel of Earth.”

Rafael Bras


Along with air

Another thing we all share,

Have a word for

 a need for

And belongs to all Life

No One owns the right to it

Yet all are responsible

to hold those accountable for damaging it

Those are We
