Canal Water, Amsterdam
In Amsterdam,we focused on canal water and the workforce behind its operations. The pop up radio station was set up at the end of a pier overlooking the IJ, the main man-made river which connects Amsterdam through the North Sea Kanal and the Ijsselmeer. . We asked workers to bring a tool for the live interview and a sample of water from their workplace.
These are the water samples from the water workers we met in Amsterdam. Each one leads you to the worker’s interview.
