Two themes

There are two guest lectures, each with its own theme:

Climate

What is NAP? Do you live below sea level? The climate is changing, it's raining harder and longer, where should that water go? A high water level or a low water level; which is best for farmers, nature and the city? What happens when a dike breaches? Who works on the dikes and why? What do you take with you if you have to evacuate? Soil is falling, sea levels are rising; what does water safety mean in the future?

Clean and healthy water

Clean and healthy water in the ditch, why is that important? What happens to your poop and pee when you flush the toilet? What is a sewage treatment plant? How much water do you use in a day? Healthy water is attractive to live by or recreate in. Good water quality is important for things like making drinking water, water recreation and agriculture. How do we keep the ditches clean? What plants and animals live in the ditch?
