What if no clean drinking water comes from the tap? Waternet practices emergency scenario

Waternet, the City of Amsterdam, and the Red Cross conducted an emergency drill in Amsterdam-Zuidoost to simulate a scenario where drinking water is contaminated by industrial waste. The exercise involved distributing emergency water from a specialized truck and managing public needs to prepare for potential large-scale outages. Officials used the event to remind residents that they should maintain their own emergency supplies of three liters of water per person per day.
