Since the 1980s and until today, the rehabilitation of the Caldes stream, devastated by the stifling urban pressure of past decades, has been approached almost entirely from a technical point of view. And while substantial progress has been made in aspects such as flood protection and the restoration of the river ecosystem, the stream is yet to recover from a social perspective. In recent years, efforts have been made to reconnect the public with the stream by creating walking trails, replanting vegetable gardens and organising educational workshops. Yet a technical perspective continues to pervade these initiatives, which have not yet incorporated the residents' everyday point of view.

As a result, Stream Day! strives to encourage the collective use of the stream through exercise, photography and new technologies, as well as a new web-based mapping platform that promotes public involvement and makes it possible to gather public opinions, concerns and insight about the inland waterways.
