Is the water here clean enough to s wim in? Why does water sometimes turn green? Do you care about water, or s imply use it every day? And are you curious about how water quality is act ually measured? Then this workshop is for you.

Water qualit y is increasingly under pressure due to climate change, pollution, and the ways we shape and use our environment. At the same time, it is often diff icult to tell how healthy water really is, even though it has a direct imp act on people, animals, and ecosystems around us. That is why learning how to observe and better understand what is happening in and around water is becoming more important than ever.

During the workshop, you will ex plore how water quality is monitored and assessed. Start inside the Waag a nd then we step outside. With simple tools and hands-on activities, you'll get to test and observe water yourself. You will learn how to recognise s igns of pollution and discover how your own observations can contribute to wider water quality research. Along the way, you will gain practical skil ls and tools that you can also use to explore and monitor water in your ow n surroundings. In this way, you will gain more understanding of water qua lity and become wiser about water. In other words: water wise! Join us out side to observe, measure, and discover all the things water can tell you.< /p>
