Episode Details

In the face of climate change, Dutch housing corporations are innovating with rainwater storage fences to combat heavy downpours and droughts. These setups, made of linked plastic blocks, capture roof runoff and save water for gardens during dry spells. As cities heat up faster than rural areas, locals in Veldhoven are embracing these green solutions, with neighbors even asking about costs. The deputy mayor supports this approach, citing the need for surface solutions like wadi pools and green roofs. This shift from taming nature to teaming up with it, inspired by the Netherlands watery past, could save on repairs and freshen up neighborhoods, potentially even mending feuding tenants relationships.
