Learn about water safety
Water safety is no small topic. There are many ways to approach it. What is the impact of climate change on sea levels and water in our country? And how do we manage this water? Explore different aspects of water safety through portraits, in-depth articles, and serious games.
Portraits
In our portraits, we engage with researchers and designers in the field of water or climate. What role do these themes play in their work? What motivates them to focus on these issues? And how do they view water safety in general?
Some of these researchers and designers are currently active in the field, while others reflect on their past experiences. In both cases, we can gain valuable insights from their knowledge.
Articles
In our articles, we delve deeply into topics related to climate, water, and water safety. We bridge the present, past, and future.
For example, what is the impact of climate change on people? What will the Delta Works of the future look like? And which parties have a say in the decisions made to make the Delta safer?
Serious games
Serious games are games that aim not just to entertain, but to provoke thought and teach you things you didn’t know before.
The Watersnoodmuseum offers a range of serious games designed to give you a new perspective on topics like climate, water, and water safety. Some games can be played on-site at our museum, while others are available to play online.
