As Dutch drinking water companies warned about the dire quality of river water and the adverse effects of climate change in 2022, Daan Sanders and I took a dive in their archives.

The result is the article now published: '"The Rhine as One River": Rhine Pollution and Multilevel Governance, 1950s to 1970s'.

We underline the importance of the post-war decades for understanding the major changes that took place in the 1970s.
