Vote film 3:

Smelling the flowers: Constructed Wetlands for Wastewater in Ethiopia - Dutch Water Authorities (You are leaving this website)

Tanah Meijers, project manager – Ethiopia: 'I would like to spend the money on scaling up the flowery wetlands. We can use this money to develop a program that will allow us to create more awareness and share knowledge about the creation of these nice smelling wetlands. We also want stakeholders to take up the building themselves. This would be a great contribution to such a wastewater program.'
