Water Wheel - States of Water

I have been pondering on the states of water in the context of water-wheel. Wheel as in cycle, the cycling of water in our environment, in our bodies, clean water in, our bodies 70% water, water out in sweat, mucous, urine, water recycled by mechanical means, by environmental means. 
What is the state of the body if you removed the water content? Dehydration, Rehydration. The constant state of water moving through us, if it stops, eventually we die. Its life giving force to all things. All the things we add water too, to consume or use. One drop of water frozen, the formation of the crystal, perfect, unique structures, that exist only in a specific state, not unlike we organic beings. 

Performative Context : Soundscape of water moving to freezing, cracking, splashing, oceanic, waves lapping, water from a tap, dams venting water, dripping, raining, cyclonic...visual imagery of waters journey, not in time with the soundscape, juxtapositioned, ie desert scenery, with heavy rainfall sounds, ice cracking and freezing as water runs from a tap.. 

Installation : Imagery projected onto floor, sound projected in surround in a cubicle or corridor. Sensory immersion.
