and lead after being eaten by fish these poisonous materials end up in the human food cycle yana imrie now has lived his entire life in banjo he says things weren't always like this. when i was a kid the water of the sitar was clear so i could get fish for our food. in the afternoons and my parents asked me to get fish i just got naked and jumped into the river to catch the fish without any tools just my bare hands. the program sitar on her room has been active since february of 2018 it aims to return the river's water to drinking quality alongside the military several n.g.o.s are taking parse. south of band doing in part and we meet former television presenter who have a rot. the founder of the award winning project sitar i'm kara started to clean the banks of the river a few years ago she also started

a garden nearby that's watered with plants filtered water from this a towering river it's started 5 years ago and before this is the mountain of garbage we have people littering to the river we have 2000 factories dumping out the poisonous water the waste water and most of them. being treated just dump it into the water now you can see that there is a lot of fact ever had just in this area i planted like one kilometers to the right in one kilometers. to the left because it proven erosion it's fine sedimentation and at the same time period fighting the water. just 200 meters from the shore of your mom who took a rock planted a garden it's become a refuge for unusual plants and insects indigenous to the region.

a lofty goal will require stamina. but the only yielding better for grass also offers a good example of how to strive despite the challenges. we have to be what care food without water all that we have to avoid pollution we have to clean up our water warnings and beef to be careful with our water but we also need careful what about it and that means we have to clean water and bring it back into the cycle. for these children water is a basic right that here in the netherlands comes easily from the tap. ok. as it does for chip and eve to wash their hands. even so this family knows just how valuable water is. water is really important with no water you can't drink and you've done. the washing machine is fed with the

household waste water which has been purified by a machine called the hydro loop and app tells dad jaan vinum schoolin and when there's enough recycled water to use. the only thing is that we do. this to get. our lifestyle as much possible for saving water with the machine. an average family of 4 in the netherlands uses up to 191000 liters of water per year. hydra loop says its clients use around 45 percent less. when we came to their fair and us having kids we were you thinking about ok how can we make this world better also for. the next 2 to inherit the earth after us and this is when we thought ok we have to be smart and think i had. water seems to be

abundant in the netherlands around 60 percent of domestic water here comes from the ground the rest is surface water. once used in homes wastewater is treated and then returned to the rivers and oceans but treatment takes a lot of energy and water is also lost along the way. to a full keys a design the hydro loop a decentralized water recycling system that means part of the process is done in your own home this system doesn't use filters instead using 6 steps to treat and clean the waste water to international standards. we collect the water from the shower and actually also from the washing machine and then we treat it we remove also and hair and sentencing plaque that we disinfected so it's safe and then you can reuse it again for your washing machine to 1st the toilets and for your garden

director hein mullen compering companies like hydra loop universities and research institutes together to find more possibilities what we do here and what a compass is in fact helping companies celebrate developments go to the market and that is from one side market demand but also what is the ideas within the companies themselves and at the end of the day she would bring their product to market. work at the water campus is funded in part by the companies developing the products along with the regional government and the european commission among others companies find the expertise to test and develop their ideas and products and international concerns and start ups it's a process that could normally take decades but here firms are helping to speed that up. the general picture is more from how can we help being
