In the Netherlands, we know all too well that water is both a friend and an enemy. Yet most Dutch people take water - dry feet, clean drinking water from the tap - for granted. In this Lab, we explore this paradox. We look to the past, but also to the future. Using four themes, we ask the question: what is our relationship with water and how can we improve it?
The panels are in Dutch, for the English text see ''Water Discovery Lab English''.
