n May 2024, it rained for a whopping 23 days. Few were happy about that new record last spring, but the Sewer Museum is happy to elaborate on this topical issue. With our new theme, we would like to make the general public aware of solutions to manage rainwater more sustainably. Indeed, in cities, water finds it increasingly difficult to penetrate the soil.

Rain is an everyday topic that often comes up. The natural phenomenon continues to occupy our minds, from simple things like our weekend plans to serious concerns like climate change, heatwaves and floods.
But have you ever thought about what exactly happens after a rainstorm? What does rain do to our sewer system in Brussels and what effect does it have on the environment? And wouldn’t we be better off considering rain as a valuable resource rather than something to be disposed of as quickly as possible? All these questions and many more are addressed in the exhibition, through concrete examples and current, innovative solutions.
