REPORT. After the waterless week in Scherpenheuvel, the main thing that remains is incomprehension: “Investments have been cut for years. And now this is happening. Does one have anything to do with the other?”

What remains after the waterless week in Scherpenheuvel? Amazement and misunderstanding above all. And worry that it will happen again. “We are in a systemic crisis and the fundamentals are shaking. Water from the tap and electricity always and everywhere, that must be the most normal thing in the world. Suddenly that is no longer there, or it threatens to disappear. Then you start to wonder if there is something more going on, don’t you?”
