  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

3.6.3 Optimizing Amsterdam’s Water Chain with End-users

Course subject(s) Module 3 – Water & Waste Water: Water as Basic Need

Citizen Science for Drinking Water Quality Measurements

The fourth and final role that we will show you for the end-users of water in the Dutch context, is that of “citizens as scientists”. To illustrate this, we will have a look at the first citizen science study in the Dutch drinking water sector: the ‘Freshness of Water’ project. In this project citizen scientists in Amsterdam examined the bacterial composition – the ‘freshness’ – of their own tap water.

To find out what the project is about, please read the article ‘The value of citizens as scientists’ in ‘H2O Water Matters’ Edition 1/2017.

Then watch the following video, where Dr. Stijn Brouwer and Prof. Dr. Jan Peter van der Hoek have a conversation about the different values that were created for the different stakeholders in this citizen science project.
