Leave a Nest Co., Ltd. has launched the LVNS Water Cycle Project together with companies, startups, research institutions, public agencies, and fishers to create flows and cycles of water that nurture life.

Vision of the LVNS Water Cycle Project

Designing Flows for Life

Creating flows and cycles of water that nurture life

Water carries a wide range of substances and energy. Since the dawn of life, it has been a flow that nurtures and expands life. Today, however, as human society has developed, this cycle is beginning to break down. While water purified so excessively that it is too clear to support life is released into the environment, persistent chemicals and microscopic plastics are dispersed throughout every kind of water. In warming seas stripped of nutrients, living organisms are losing their homes.

This project is not about simply using water cleanly.

At the boundary between land and sea, between clear and turbid water, we create flows and cycles of water that nurture life.
We rethink water not simply as a resource or a medium for pollution, but as a flow that carries substances, energy, and life. What should flow, what should be held back, what should be recovered, and where should it return?
The LVNS Water Cycle Project views the area from land through rivers, coasts, and the ocean as one connected water sphere and aims to create new industries that solve its challenges.
