Overview

Join the debate as we ask whether more countries should follow in the footsteps of the Netherlands, and stop dosing residual chlorine or chloramine.

Learn what it took for the Netherlands to develop a water supply system that doesn’t need residual chlorine. Together we’ll explore the many advantages and disadvantages of this approach and discuss its application in other countries.
