Wanders is not pessimistic about the future. Yes, today’s drought is a problem, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing that can be done about it. According to Wanders, the solution lies in storing water when it is wet, so that it can be used during a dry period. “If we retain water during the period when there is a lot of rain, such as in autumn and winter, we can use it in the summer to provide ourselves with water, but also nature and agriculture,” he says.
