The digital collection of the Water Museum of the Municipality of Sikyonians comprises 35 items highlighting aspects of everyday life and material culture in the region during the 19th and early 20th centuries, with particular emphasis on water management and use.

The main body of the collection consists of 30 three-dimensional digital models of household objects, tools, and utensils, documenting practices associated with the collection, transportation, storage, and use of water at a time when homes lacked indoor running water and households relied on nearby springs. The collection is complemented by five books.

Through the 3D documentation of these objects, the collection sheds light on the relationship between local communities and water as a precious natural resource and an essential part of everyday life. At the same time, it showcases the cultural heritage of Sikyona, Stymphalia, and Feneos—areas with a rich history and distinctive natural landscapes, where water has played a significant role throughout the centuries.
