There’s a lot of articles written about how tap water in Warsaw is constantly tested by a small team of clams. It felt like a hoax to me: so I went to find out. ▪ Thanks to MPWiK Warsaw: https://www.mpwik.com.pl/

I went to a lot of effort to prove this, but it's like Carl Sagan said: extraordinary clams require extraordinary evidence.
oszzz koorwa !
I'm glad they put them back after 3 months.
Clams… you said clams… I was trying to figure out what clowns had anything to do with this for a good minute.
‘Like an airport using explosive sniffing dogs’
when the sniffing dogs are explosive:
I always thought it was protected by Hams!
as a Pole with the secret knowledge of the clams, I giggled thru all the video
Good information to share.
Total Genius! It's like the 'canary in a coal mine' with a humane twist! The best quote is "we take care of our colleagues here"!
Imagine being a clam and telling your folks you are going on a business trip
what security reasons? lmao
Why I feel this system is not so reliable and we could do a more efficient, cheaper and intelligent way with other sensors?
Why does it sound dodgy? I am glad those clams had now educated you now
I was born and bred in Warsaw and I didn't know that! Thanks 😉 I'm delighted that clams retire after three months and are returned to their home-lake.
Non-vegan water
I live in Poland and i had no idea about this i thought our water is trash 💀 HAPPY NEW YEAR

THE CLAMS ARE REAL
American water is protected from lead by small children.
Ahh, another great and innovative thing from another country when yours has none. I'm so used to this.
these clams have a more important job than some people, thank you for telling the untold story of these tiny heroes
It mades sense, like the canaries on old coal mines.
Helsinki FInland , salmons are used, because they also changes their behaviors' at fraction of an second
i took a clam to poland.
Building a big city depending on surface water… doesnt sound smart at all. Is that a common thing in parts of the world?
I work in water treatment, you see this way more often than one would think. 🤙🤙
I often fail at this part of critical thinking, when something that seems irrational when observed individually actually makes sense when observed as part of system.
polSKA GUROM
Here in Australia we have Sentinel Chickens along state borders that get blood tests regularly to see if any mosquito born viruses are getting about.
wait… i live in MN and i haven't heard of a clam water plant here
I think that is actually very smart as an additional layer of protection
