Stories About Water
On our YouTube channel, you can find many interviews with people sharing their stories about the Ramp (Flood Disaster). What was it like to flee to the attic when the water came? And how did it feel for those who came to help and saw the flooded areas?
In addition, we also have many stories about the construction of the Delta Works and the role that water plays in the world today. How can we ensure that we live safely with water?
