Humanity has to recognize the reality that the water crisis is threatening the existence of humanity and change its selfish attitude toward water in order to not only make water available but also keep living.
For humanity to coexist with water again as it once did, it must first immediately restore the relationship with water that has been broken by the pursuit of selfish goals. And to do that, it is necessary for humanity to accurately understand the characteristics of water. Takuwa aims to use the precise observation data obtained through its proprietary technologies and expertise to reflect them to the solution of social issues and reconstruct the altruistic relationship between people and water humanity once had.
As mentioned above, humans have expanded their living space and prospered by living in harmony with water.
“Harmony” means “living together and supporting each other”. In the early days, humans learned about the cycle of rainfall and dryness from the changing seasons and the waxing and waning of the moon, and they developed their own unique culture and society in tune with the cycle. Humans of that era practiced “knowing water and living in harmony with water” on a daily basis.
However, since the agricultural revolution, humanity has continued to selfishly control water in the pursuit of its own wealth, or in other words, “exploitation in the name of development”. This has resulted in a water crisis caused by climate change.
Humanity has to recognize the reality that the water crisis is threatening the existence of humanity and change its selfish attitude toward water in order to not only make water available but also keep living. And, humans need to look at water with gratitude and compassion, and restore the relationship where they once were able to respect each other's existence.
Water has been behaving in a universal way since ancient times. It is humans who have changed their attitude. To change the relationship with water, humanity must change its selfish attitude towards water. In order to overcome the current crisis, humanity needs to change from a selfish way of using water, giving priority only to its convenience, to an altruistic way of using water, respecting the laws of nature.
Takuwa's founder, Masaji Okuda, had been advocating “coexistence with water” since the company was founded. The philosophy he followed throughout his life was “Learn from rivers and become familiar with water.”
The philosophy tells that humans must observe the flow of the river with sincerity, learn about the nature of the flowing water, deeply understand the ever-changing nature of water, interact with water with a heart of affection and compassion, and develop a relationship of mutual respect.
The philosophy that Masaji upheld is being carried on by Takuwa today. Takuwa never tries to control water and never forgets to respect it, just like a family member or close friend. By watching the ever-changing flow of the river, Takuwa staff continue to work to deeply understand the nature of water.
For humanity to coexist with water again as it once did, it must first immediately restore the relationship with water that has been broken by the pursuit of selfish goals. And to do that, it is necessary for humanity to accurately understand the characteristics of water.
As mentioned above, the cause of the crisis is humanity's selfish production activities.
Global warming has now reached a level that threatens the survival of humanity, due to the large amount of greenhouse gases emitted by humanity's unceasing pursuit of affluence. Global warming has caused ocean temperatures to rise dramatically, with rising sea levels, more frequent typhoons and storms with unprecedented power, and stoppages of oceanic deep circulations, causing drastic changes in the global climate, and the changes have become so serious that even ordinary people can now feel them in daily life. Researchers around the world are warning that if things continue as they are, in the near future, humans will no longer be able to continue to live on this planet. The crisis that threatens the survival of the human race is only getting worse.
The water on the Earth is in danger. Now is the time for humanity to protect the “life of water”.
Takuwa has technologies and skills to know the appropriate position the water surface points at on a moment-to-moment basis through identification of ever-changing properties of water, or the water level.
Takuwa aims to use the precise observation data obtained through its proprietary technologies and expertise to reflect them to the solution of social issues and reconstruct the altruistic relationship between people and water humanity once had. Takuwa strives to create a society where people and water can live together.
