Humanity has always sought out rivers, lakes, and oceans to settle. Water is one of the most important resources for life. Unfortunately, there are many factors that disrupt its natural flow and trigger a chain of harmful effects. In the game Flua, you’ll dive into the various paths a water particle takes through South America, learning about its flow and its stories.

The game benefited from the scientific collaboration of Clarice Saldanha, Kathleen Mahra, Kathleen Sena, and Mayã Garcia, students in Serrapilheira’s Quantitative Ecology Training Program.
