October 24, 2021 - November 5, 2021
Wetskills Challenge again in Amsterdam!
Wetskills organised the 6th Wetskills Challenge in Amsterdam (and 8th event in The Netherlands), linked to the Amsterdam International Water Week AIWW 2021 at the Aquatech-Amsterdam 2021. The Challenge started on 24 October, with the Finals & Awarding on 4 November as part of the Future Water Leaders programme at the Aquatech and AIWW program.
During this Wetskills Challenge teams of students and young water professionals (with a diverse backgrounds, nationalities and experiences) worked on real life water cases in an exciting two-week program. Their main challenge: to think out-of-the-box and develop innovative, but realistic concepts.
Although some participants could only join online due to corona, fortunately the Wetskills crew was sure to let all join and participate. The teams presented their ideas with a two minute pitch, Q&A and a poster on 4 November 2021.

Event Cases
Case 1: A future-proof water system – How to handle heavy rainfall?
Case owner: Water Authority Drents Overijsselse Delta
Due to a changing climate, The Netherlands is increasingly confronted with heavy rainfalls. Moreover the effects of the heavy rainfalls are quite difficult to predict and can happen around the year. The current water systems cannot always handle the enormous amount of water of such heavy rainfall, which leads to negative effects. In the Netherlands, the water authorities have the task of ensuring a robust water design of the area. New technical and social design principles can improve the current water system to be future-ready. How can Water Authority Drents Overijsselse Delta use the experiences from abroad to create a robust water system to handle heavy rainfalls?
Case 2: How can various Blue Deal partnerships in different countries learn from each other?
Case owner: Blue Deal programme by Dutch Water Authorities
The Blue Deal is a cooperation between the Dutch Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Infrastructure & Water Management and the Dutch Water Authorities to help 20 million people in 2030 with more, better, and safer water. One of the objectives of the Blue Deal Programme in 2022 is to institutionalise learning within the programme. Objective of this learning programme is to exchange experiences and knowledge between partnerships to raise the quality of work in the overall goal of reaching sustainable results. How can the Blue Deal Programme further innovate in, and optimize the institutionalization of learning within the programme based on the lessons learned in different countries?
Case 3: How can Water Credits reduce the global Water Footprint?
Case owner: Water Authority Limburg
Water is more and more considered as a sustainability value assessment by industries and governments. This at a time that local and global water supplies are under increased pressure of climate change and pollution. Therefore we advocate to realize a global standard for Water Credits. A standard similar to the international system of Carbon Credits. In this system the biggest polluters of greenhouse gasses compensate their emissions buying Carbon Credits. The collected money is then used to decline or compensate greenhouse gasses elsewhere. We are looking for a similar model. A model which triggers (big) water user and water polluters to reduce their water footprint or compensate their water footprint elsewhere. How can water credits with specific guidelines lead to an international standard to reduce water use and pollution?
