Recycling rain in Amsterdam

With the changing climate, a balanced relationship between water resources available to us and the human consumption of these resources has become progressively challenging. The effects of climate change are becoming increasingly visible in the city of Amsterdam. With the city’s heavy downpours, as well as increasing events of heatwaves and periods of drought, the need for a widespread response to climate extremities has emerged. In collaboration with Waternet, we set out to prioritize the inclusion of private citizens in the effort to conserve water resources. The solutions presented int he infographic were developed on two crucial factors – efficiency of results and feasibility in implementation. Encouraging homeowners to adopt some of these ideas, we believe that their contribution in the long run will go a long way in the fight against climate change.
