About Embassy of Water

In the Embassy of Water, different partners come together. Waterschap De Dommel, province of Noord-Brabant, municipality of Eindhoven and Brabant Water are working together with initiator Anouk van der Poll and designers to realize the water transition.

Based on restorative, regenerative design, we develop new perspectives and concrete solutions for a balanced water system.
