SUMMARY:Wetskills-South Korea 2022
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]The third edition of Wetskills South-Korea!\nBecause of the success of a memorable first (Olympic) edition of a Wetskills Water Challenge in South-Korea in February 2018 (read here) and the great successor in August/September 2019 (read here)\, we were thrilled to organize the third edition of Wetskills South-Korea! \nThis edition had 16 participants (aged 21 – 32 years) from South Korea and The Netherlands\, as well as Mexico\, Senegal\, France and Indonesia. Again a very international\, cross-cultural and multidisciplinary group of participants! In 3 teams they combined their knowledge and experiences to find out-of-the-box solutions for challenging water cases\, which they presented with pitches and posters at the Finals and Awarding Ceremony. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Video\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Practical Information\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Leaflet Announcement for Participants Wetskills-South Korea 2022 \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Programme Wetskills-South Korea 2022\n \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Terms & Conditions Wetskills-South Korea 2022 \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_button icon_pack=”font_awesome” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” icon_position=”right” target=”_self” font_weight=”” text=”Attend on Facebook” link=”https://www.facebook.com/events/513417733516364/” icon_color=”#ffffff”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Follow Wetskills\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.facebook.com/Wetskills-496271977097972″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_facebook”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”http://twitter.com/wetskills” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_twitter”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-instagram” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.instagram.com/wetskills/” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_instagram”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2949484″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_linkedin”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-youtube-square” fe_icon=”social_youtube” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJmPNM9roCkR1uvgJMHqpvA” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px”] \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_blockquote text=”Let’s Share the Water Passion.

In the Asia and the Pacific region\, women and girls are key stakeholders to manage and conserve water resources at the national/local/community levels. Considering the regional background and UNESCO’s Call for Action ‘Accelerating gender equality in the water domain’\, what would be your action plan to disseminate the water and gender equality agenda in the AP region\, including priority areas\, target countries\, target levels\, effective methods\, and specific tasks? \nCase 2: Fighting climate change on Korean islands\nCase owner: Water Authority Hollands Noorderkwartier (The Netherlands) \nThe Netherlands is facing several climate related challenges that have their impact on the coastal and island landscape\, with problems like flood risks\, and periods of drought causing an increased salinity in aquifers and fresh waters. All these challenges have technical\, spatial and participation aspects. One of the (public) regional water authorities in the country\, HHNK\, is  joining this Wetskills challenge as a case-owner because they are very keen to learn from the South Korean experiences\, in particular related to islands. What are the main challenges Korean colleagues are facing? The team of students is asked to dive into the South Korean governance for islands for both flood risk and salination\, and advice HHNK and potential Korean partners on further collaboration. \nCase 3: South Korea’s dependency on virtual water trade\nCase owner: Water Footprint Implementation (The Netherlands) \nAt the COP-26 in 2021\, the Glasgow Declaration on Fair Water Footprint has been introduced and signed by various governmental and non-governmental partners. South Korea imports a lot of agricultural products from other countries. The water that has been used to grow the crops at these production locations is embedded in the imported trade volume and is called ‘virtual water’. South Korea is one of the largest net virtual water import countries for agricultural products worldwide. How can South Korea increase its water- and food-security\, while ensuring a Fair Water Footprint of agricultural imports for national consumption? \nPitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59844″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59845″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster  –  Winning Team!\n \n[vc_single_image image=”59846″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Pictures\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”59848\,59851\,59850″ img_size=”large” column_number=”3″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”59849\,59852\,59853″ img_size=”large” column_number=”3″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”59854\,59855″ img_size=”large” column_number=”2″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Video’s 2018 & 2019\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”59362″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53274″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53765″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55019″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56307″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”59669″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”53764″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57038″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Join this Wetskills event!\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

SUMMARY:Wetskills-Romania 2022
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]For the sixth time to Romania!\nOne of the main topics of this Wetskills event was Water & Data Management. The Finals and Awarding Ceremony were organized during the IWA International Conference on Hydroinformatics (HIC 2022) in Bucharest. Attending this conference (6 July 2022) was included in the program. \nRomania has a very diverse landscape and water system\, with high mountains and the largest Delta of the European Union: Danube Delta. Romania faces challenges in water and wastewater\, in both large urban areas as well as remote rural villages\, and has a large water management experience of dealing with floods and droughts. And the country itself is inspiring and various: From the booming big Bucharest with its historic buildings and churches\, People’s Parliament and the Old City with bars and pubs\, to idyllic smaller cities and villages in epic Transylvania\, the dry Wallachia lowlands (border to Bulgaria) and Europe’s largest bio-reserve Danube Delta. \nThis Wetskills edition was hosted by the Politehnica University of Bucharest. Other main partners of this event were the University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest; the Technical University for Civil Engineering in Bucharest; the Romanian Water Association; Apele Romane; and the Embassy of The Kingdom of The Netherlands. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Watch the Movie of Wetskills Romania 2022\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]… and the previous Wetskills edition in Romania (2021)\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Practical information\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Overall Programme Wetskills-Romania 2022 \nLeaflet Announcement for Participants Wetskills-Romania 2022 \nTerms & Conditions Wetskills-Romania 2022 \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_button icon_pack=”font_awesome” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” icon_position=”right” target=”_self” font_weight=”” text=”Attend on Facebook” link=”https://www.facebook.com/events/2007458975975366/” icon_color=”#ffffff”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Follow Wetskills\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.facebook.com/Wetskills-496271977097972″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_facebook”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”http://twitter.com/wetskills” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_twitter”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-instagram” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.instagram.com/wetskills/” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_instagram”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2949484″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_linkedin”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-youtube-square” fe_icon=”social_youtube” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJmPNM9roCkR1uvgJMHqpvA” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px”] \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”58731\,58732\,58735\,58734″ img_size=”large” column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Blogs\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_blog_list type=”boxes” image_size=”landscape” show_thumbnail=”yes” number_of_columns=”3″ overlay_icon=”1″ order_by=”date” order=”DESC” title_tag=”h5″ display_excerpt=”1″ info_position=”top” post_info_text_transform=”none” post_info_font_weight=”700″ post_info_font_style=”normal” display_category=”0″ display_date=”1″ date_place=”over_title” display_author=”0″ display_comments=”0″ display_button=”1″ icon_pack=”font_elegant” fe_icon=”arrow_right” button_icon_position=”right” number_of_posts=”3″ overlay_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” category=”Wetskills-Romania 2022″ text_length=”160″ title_size=”28″ title_color=”#0076b2″ post_info_font_size=”20″ post_info_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” post_info_font_family=”Montserrat” post_info_letter_spacing=”-0\,5″ date_size=”21″ box_info_padding=”40px 5px 5px 5px” button_text=”READ MORE” button_background_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” button_hover_background_color=”#0076b2″ button_border_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” button_hover_border_color=”#0076b2″]Event Cases\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 1: Urban river basin of the future\nCase owner: Boskalis \nCurrently river basins in and around urban areas struggle with drought\, floods and loss of water quality. The future will even be more challenging\, as climate change will lead to more heat waves and more intense rainfall\, and urban populations are expected to grow. Damboviţa river runs through Bucharest\, and is an example of a river that could be made more climate resilient to avoid or mitigate effects of climate change. How could new approaches in urban river basins create a robust system\, where biological quality is improved\, water safety is assured\, and drought can be coped with? Which (new) techniques\, policies\, stakeholders provide opportunities? \nCase 2: Inspiration guide for sustainable reservoir management\nCase owner: Blue Deal Romania project by Dutch Water Authorities & Apele Romane \nRomania has many large\, medium\, and small reservoirs spread around the country\, which are used for various purposes\, like flood risk management\, hydropower\, drinking water supply and irrigation. Due to changing weather conditions and growing pressure on multifunctionality\, the management of these reservoirs becomes more complex and integral. An ‘Inspiration Guide’ showcasing innovative and economic attractive methods of reservoir management could create more awareness on possible solutions\, for decision makers\, water managers and other stakeholders. How could such an Inspiration Guide be used for sustainable reservoir management of the Golesti dam and reservoir? \nCase 3: Redevelopment of the FlashBag\nCase owner: WetsNext programme by Wetskills Foundation \nFlashfloods in Romania are quite unpredictable and cause serious problems\, such as large economic damage and casualties. In 2019 the (flash)Flood Proof Romania Testing Facility was implemented to create and test innovative measures against these flashfloods. This testing facility in Facau\, southwest of Bucharest\, is owned by Romanian Waters and was a result of a five-year development and cooperation program between several European and Romanian partners. In previous Wetskills events the concept of a ‘FlashBag’ was created\, a temporary embankment for flash floods. Now it is time to redesign the FlashBag concept\, and start testing it in the Flood Proof Romania testing facility. \nPitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59566″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59567″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59568″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”64px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”52431″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55394″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”59322″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52433″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57038″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”59520″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54957″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52240″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Previous Wetskills Events in Romania\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Join this Wetskills event!\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

SUMMARY:Wetskills-United Arab Emirates 2022
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]United Arab Emirates 2022: from WorldExpo Shanghai to Dubai!\nWetskills Foundation and partners organized another great water challenge event: in Dubai\, United Arab Emirates. \nIn a hybrid format (online with some in-person activities) participants from various countries (UAE\, The Netherlands\, Colombia\, India\, Nigeria\, Germany) worked together in teams with each its own challenge. The cases are provided by our partners UAE University\, RVO\, PureBlue Water and Witteveen+Bos\, in close cooperation with the Dutch Dubai programme of The Netherlands government. \nDuring the Finals on Sunday 16 January\, the teams presented the results to an international jury in The Netherlands Pavilion of the Dubai 2020 World Expo. This hybrid event was also the final part of the Wetskills 10 years Jubilee Celebrations. \n[vc_single_image image=”59143″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Wetskills once started at the Shanghai WorldExpo 2010\, so Wetskills ‘bridged’ the two WorldExpos and looked back to the results of many Wetskills events in many countries. \nThe Jury announced Team Falaj 2.0 as the winning team\, with their innovative but applicable concept to improve water management on small farm. ‘Most UAE small farms use groundwater for crop irrigation. Low groundwater levels and salinization are a growing problem\, and various water management strategies have already been proposed. The Wetskills team came up with a Tool to support farmers in identifying which strategy is most feasible for their own farm.’ This case was formulated by UAE University\, to focus on a very challenging problem. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”59206″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Read the article in Gulf Today: ‘Dutch PM Mark Rutte dubs UAE as living hub of innovative business‘ with a part about Wetskills-United Arab Emirates 2022;

Water reuse is one of the opportunities to mitigate the water stress in those cities. PureBlue’s decentral wastewater treatment units treat up until natural water quality and beyond. The goal is to enforce blue networks\, the concatenation of water bodies and infrastructure\, to let green networks\, like parks\, nature reserves and oases grow. PureBlue looks for creative implementation of their units in UAE cities to bring fresh water to locations that will benefit most from it. In addition\, social innovation is of large importance to convince people of the safety and environmental friendliness of treated wastewater. \nCase 2: A Sustainable Alternative to Water in Plastic\nCase owner: RVO.nl \nOn a regular day millions of people encounter one or more single use plastic water bottle. It is just a normal routine but the effect that it has on our planet is devastating to the entire ecosystem. A plastic bottle does not simply disappear once we recycle it or throw it away\, it is not biodegradable and becomes land and ocean litter. Organizations that go through a particularly high volume of plastic bottles consumption are University Campuses with vending machines and cafeteria and Hotels with plastic bottles distributed in each guest room. How can the use of “hydration stations” within these institutions be the solution to drastically reduce the impact that single use plastic has on the environment? \nPitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59230″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59229″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”64px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 3: Decision-making tool for water management at small farms in UAE\nCase owner: United Arab Emirates University  \nPrivately owned farms of a size between two and six ha are very common in the UAE\, and mostly rely on groundwater for crop irrigation. In recent years the productivity of many of these farms has been threatened by increasing groundwater depletion and salinization. Various management strategies have been proposed to slow down groundwater deterioration and/or sustain agricultural production under increasing salinity. tools to facilitate such water management decision making are so far not available. It will maximize revenues at the farm level\, and/or create an overall long-term sustainability and environmental safety. How could a tool support an individual farmer or decision identifying of the most feasible water management strategy for UAE’s small farms? \nCase 4: Circular carbon zero water and resources recovery plant\nCase owner: Witteveen+Bos (The Netherlands) \nThe global water sector contributes about 5% of greenhouse gas (GHG)\, and this is calculated without the process-related emissions of CH4\, CO2 and N2O due to biological used water treatment. The UWTP’s are getting more efficient every day and water loops are being closed in municipal and industrial settings. However\, by improving removal performances the carbon emissions rise by energy demand\, chemical use\, and process emission. Improving water quality leads to increasing CO2 emissions. The Water and Resources Refinery\, developed by Witteveen+Bos and partners leads to a circular zero carbon used water treatment. How can the Water and Resources Refinery also solve these challenges for the United Arab Emirates and Singapore creating a future-proof and climate resilient water sector? \nPitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59228″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59227″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57038″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”58274″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53049″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”59130″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56310″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”59129″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”53877″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54075″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”58278″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52246″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Movie of Wetskills-Oman 2019\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Finals of Wetskills-Oman 2020\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Join this Wetskills event!

Cities along the rivers\, like Pune have a large outflow of poorly treated wastewater. Nature has a great capacity to clean itself\, so could we stimulate the nature to help cities in treating wastewater? Nature based solutions are quite familiar in protecting areas from flooding. The nature is stimulated the create natural boundaries to protect areas from flooding. Mostly these solutions are integrated in areas and with multi functions (like recreation). There are already examples of nature based solutions for water quality. How could the City of Pune use nature based solutions for better treatment of their wastewater? \nCase 2: Reuse wastewater for agriculture\n\nIndia is generating an enormous amount of sewage from which about 85% of wastewater is being discharged in the environment. This sewerage water is quite a constant amount and could become a potential resource for agriculture especially in times of less rains or even draughts. Main challenges for using this sewerage water are the poor quality and social acceptance. In the City of Mumbai\, a lot of sewerage is disposed without using. Areas with small farmers next to the rail tracks could make use of sewerage water. How could the City of Mumbai stimulate the reuse of treated sewerage by farmers?  \n\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59082″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59083″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 3: Impact of power cuts in rural water use\nIndia has large agricultural areas\, which are dependent on a constant water flow. This water flow is often driven by the use of electricity. Power cuts could lead to a disruption of the water flow and thus to poor irrigation. This could affect the output of the agriculture and affects farmer and their families in Maharashtra. How can Maharastra become more resilient to power cuts affecting rural areas? \nCase 4: Gender and irrigation system\nIn India\, a state-supported canal irrigation system provides water to a significant section of agricultural land. The irrigation system\, despite its limitation\, has been responsible for contributing to the green revolution and increasing food production. However\, one observes that the irrigation system\, despite the introduction of water reforms\, continues to be biased towards women and fails to recognise the contribution of women. In light of this fact\, how can India increase the participation of women in the management of the irrigation system. \nCase 5: Rainwater harvesting a solution to growing urban water crisis\nRainwater harvesting is increasingly put forward as a solution to the urban water crisis. However\, despite the awareness and willingness existing among the people about the technology\, very few adopt it. The adoption of rainwater harvesting is primarily limited to high-income residential apartments or complexes\, leaving a significant section of the city population consisting of middle-income family groups.  The City of Mumbai is facing changes in climate patterns and aims to implement adaptive measures for urban centers\, including Sponge City concept to avoid flooding and to increase rain water storage. In order to tap the enormous resource of water in the form of increasing rain\, how can the City of Mumbai increase the adoption of rainwater harvesting to address the issue of growing water crisis in cities? \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59084″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59085″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59086″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Previous Wetskills Events in India\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”58815″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55418″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57924″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57038″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”54101″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56306″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55657″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56310″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Join this Wetskills event!

SUMMARY:Wetskills-The Netherlands 2021
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Wetskills Challenge again in Amsterdam!\nWetskills 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. \nDuring 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. \nAlthough 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. \nWatch the video of Wetskills-The Netherlands 2021!\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Info\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Overview Programme Wetskills-The Netherlands (updated) \nLeaflet for Participants Wetskills-The Netherlands 2021 \nTerms & Conditions Wetskills-The Netherlands 2021 \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_button icon_pack=”font_awesome” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” icon_position=”right” target=”_self” font_weight=”” text=”Attend on Facebook” link=”https://www.facebook.com/events/1403662813341601″ icon_color=”#ffffff”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]About Wetskills\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”58191″ img_size=”medium” qode_css_animation=””]www.wetskills.com \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Follow Wetskills\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.facebook.com/Wetskills-496271977097972″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_facebook”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”http://twitter.com/wetskills” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_twitter”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-instagram” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.instagram.com/wetskills/” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_instagram”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2949484″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_linkedin”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-youtube-square” fe_icon=”social_youtube” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJmPNM9roCkR1uvgJMHqpvA” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px”] \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Blogs\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_blog_list type=”boxes” image_size=”landscape” show_thumbnail=”yes” number_of_columns=”3″ overlay_icon=”1″ order_by=”date” order=”DESC” title_tag=”h5″ display_excerpt=”1″ info_position=”top” post_info_text_transform=”none” post_info_font_weight=”700″ post_info_font_style=”normal” display_category=”0″ display_date=”1″ date_place=”over_title” display_author=”0″ display_comments=”0″ display_button=”1″ icon_pack=”font_elegant” fe_icon=”arrow_right” button_icon_position=”right” vertical_align_text=”middle” date_position=”in_icon” border_around_item=”no” separator=”yes” display_circle_button=”1″ enable_circle_button_shaddow=”1″ number_of_posts=”12″ overlay_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” text_length=”200″ post_info_color=”#43dbbd” post_info_font_family=”Montserrat” post_info_letter_spacing=”-0.5″ date_size=”21″ button_text=”READ MORE” box_info_padding=”40px 5px 5px 5px” post_info_font_size=”20″ title_size=”28″ title_color=”#0076b2″ button_color=”#ffffff” button_hover_color=”#ffffff” button_background_color=”#43dbbd” button_hover_background_color=”#0076b2″ button_border_color=”#43dbbd” button_hover_border_color=”#0076b2″ category=”wetskills-netherlands-2021″][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”54982\,54699\,57826\,1662\,1665″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]Event Cases\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 1: A future-proof water system – How to handle heavy rainfall?\nCase owner: Water Authority Drents Overijsselse Delta \nDue 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? \nCase 2: How can various Blue Deal partnerships in different countries learn from each other? \nCase owner: Blue Deal programme by Dutch Water Authorities \nThe 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? \nCase 3: How can Water Credits reduce the global Water Footprint?\nCase owner: Water Authority Limburg \nWater 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? \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59002″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59002″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”59004″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Movies about previous Wetskills editions in the Netherlands\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”58343″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53908″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53877″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56312″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52240″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”58830″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53285″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

SUMMARY:Wetskills-Romania 2021
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]For the fifth time to Romania!\nWetskills Foundation and partners organized the Wetskills Challenge for the fifth time in Bucharest\, Romania. This Wetskills edition in Romania was hosted by the University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest. Other main partners of this event were the Politehnica University of Bucharest and Technical University for Civil Engineering in Bucharest\, the Romanian Water Association\, Apele Romane and the Embassy of The Kingdom of The Netherlands. \nRomania has a very diverse landscape and water system\, with high mountains and the largest Delta of the European Union: Danube Delta. Romania faces challenges in water and wastewater\, in both large urban areas as well as remote rural villages\, and has a large water management experience of dealing with floods and droughts. And the country itself is inspiring and various: From the booming big Bucharest with its historic buildings and churches\, immens large People’s Parliament and the Old City with bars\, pubs as heart of the City to idillic smaller cities and villages in epic Transylvania and more low and dry Wallachia (border to Bulgaria) and the Europe’s largest bioreserve Danube Delta. \nThis edition of Wetskills started on 11 September 2021\, and was taking place in and around to the great city of Bucharest. During the 2-weeks program the participants worked in international\, multidisciplinary teams on real-life water cases. The finals and awarding were during an hybrid workshop with livestream on 22 September. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Practical information\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Draft overall Programme Wetskills-Romania 2021 \nLeaflet Announcement for Participants Wetskills-Romania 2021 \nTerms & Conditions Wetskills-Romania 2021 \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_button icon_pack=”font_awesome” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” icon_position=”right” target=”_self” font_weight=”” text=”Attend on Facebook” link=”https://www.facebook.com/events/2007458975975366/” icon_color=”#ffffff”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Follow Wetskills\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.facebook.com/Wetskills-496271977097972″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_facebook”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”http://twitter.com/wetskills” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_twitter”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-instagram” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.instagram.com/wetskills/” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_instagram”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2949484″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_linkedin”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-youtube-square” fe_icon=”social_youtube” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJmPNM9roCkR1uvgJMHqpvA” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px”] \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Joining this Wetskills Event – What do you get?\nA unique learning experience where you will tackle real-life water challenges with your own team!\n♦ You will increase your skills in: international cooperation;

The ambition is to become the fourth most circular city of the Netherlands. To achieve this goal\, reducing waste streams is required\, and specially in neighborhoods with blocks of flats this is a challenge. Currently\, households have the option of separating plastic\, paper and residual waste. Residual waste is where the problem arises because it includes many streams that are bundled together as one\, including organic waste. Question of the city is: How can organic waste be separated from the residual waste stream? and what valuable use could be made of it in the city? \nPoster Team 1\n \n[vc_single_image image=”58777″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Case 2: Flash floods inspiration guide\nCase owner: RBA Siret & Blue Deal programme Romania (by Dutch Water Authorities) \nRomania and The Netherlands\, cooperating under the BlueDeal programme\, are water-rich countries with a long-standing history of combatting floods and keep their feet dry. Due to climate change\, both countries are becoming more vulnerable for heavy rainfall. RBA Siret in the Northeastern part of Romania is facing severe flash flood challenges. Especially farmers and inhabitants of small villages suffer. The team is asked to create an ‘Inspiration guide’ to showcase innovative and economic attractive measures against flash floods. This should create more awareness and indicate concrete solutions for all stakeholders in a pilot area. Together with a simple “kitchen table” poster(s) for dialogue\, the Inspiration Guide should contribute to the innovative Integrated Water Resource Management Plan for the pilot area. \nPoster Team 2 \n[vc_single_image image=”58778″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Case 3: Virtual Water flows between Romania and Hungary\nCase owner: Water Footprint Implementation \nIs it possible to use water in places where you are not present at that moment? Yes\, it is! When we consume a product that was produced in a different country or place\, we also virtually consume the water used to produce it. This is what we call ’embedded’ or ‘virtual’ water. When products are traded across the globe\, there is also a trade in virtual water taking place. The Water Footprint\, a method that determines the freshwater use in production processes\, is an excellent tool to provide insights in the virtual water flows between continents\, countries and/or river basins. How can we use the virtual water flow between Romania and Hungary for improving the sustainable freshwater management in both countries? \nPoster Team 3 \n[vc_single_image image=”58775″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55394″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52431″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52434″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52433″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57038″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54957″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52243″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57644″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53102″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Previous Wetskills Events in Romania\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

The City of Zwolle launched the SensHagen project where citizens voluntarily placed sensors to measure data as temperature\, precipitation\, and air quality. With this crowd sourcing project\, both city and citizen know which part of the neighborhood is coolest or has the best air quality\, which is great when you are doing your exercise round. But measuring data does not necessarily lead to more climate adaptive behavior. How do we take the next step from measuring to action? And what role do partners (governmental and non-governmental) play in this transition? \nCase 2: Protecting existing settlements at the Falsterbo Peninsula in Sweden\nCase owner: Statens Geotekniska Institut (Sweden)\, Dragør Municipality (Denmark) and Water Authority Hollands Noorderkwartier (The Netherlands) \nFlood safety\, spatial planning\, including stakeholder participation\, and nature ambitions can sometimes state challenging or even contradictory goals. At the Falsterbo Peninsula\, Sweden\, the built environment is prone to flooding and the direct surrounding area has high natural\, recreational and cultural values. The stakes are high\, the stakeholders are many and the available space without previous claims almost nonexistent. If you had full flexibility\, meaning no restrictions by any regulation\, what would your optimal adaptive design to protect existing settlements without causing unacceptable harm to other stakeholders be\, and how would you guide the process towards the implementation of this design? \nCase 3: Innovative stormwater treatment and retention solutions in cities\nCase owner: City of Copenhagen & City of Rotterdam \nCopenhagen and Rotterdam are seeking innovative ideas\, technologies\, and approaches for how stormwater can be successfully captured and treated to optimize benefits\, reduce risks to public health\, and promote co-benefits. By doing so\, stormwater can be caught during wet periods and re-used in times when it’s dry. Proposed solutions should consider the role water treatment or reuse can play in reducing flows to drainage systems and wastewater treatment facilities. It is important to consider the opportunities and challenges for implementation as well. How can both cities manage the contaminants found in stormwater that can pose issues to public health and the environment\, comply with current guidelines\, and overcome other barriers to achieve the desired benefits of proposed stormwater treatment and reuse practices? \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”58691″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”58692″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”58693″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57646″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57671″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57038″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”58280″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”58281″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”58514″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55337″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57644″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”58515″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53101″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”57564\,57562\,57561\,57563\,57565″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]

Participants were students and young professionals from various nationalities and background\, but studying and working in Japan and The Netherlands. They worked in international teams on challenging water-energy-food issues. \nDuring the Finals on August 5\, they presented their ideas in an online event\, followed by the Awarding Ceremony. \n \nThe central theme ‘Water-Energy-Food Nexus’ is also the main focus of the WorldExpo Dubai 2021\, where Wetskills Foundation will be present as well. All cases will be aligned to this theme and also include topics outside the water domain. \nThe 2020-2021 central theme of Wetskills Events\, celebrating 10 years of Wetskills:\n‘VALUING FUTURE WATER LEADERS SHAKING THE WATER-ENERGY-FOOD COCKTAIL WITH THEIR INCLUSIVE & CATALYTIC CAPACITY’. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Watch the Finals & Awarding\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event info\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Programme W@tskills-Japan 2021\n \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_button icon_pack=”font_awesome” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” icon_position=”right” target=”_self” font_weight=”” text=”Attend on Facebook” link=”https://www.facebook.com/events/457471881845424/” icon_color=”#ffffff”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Watch the announcement of Wetskills-Japan 2021 \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Watch the Movie of the previous Olympic Wetskills edition: South Korea 2018 \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Follow Wetskills\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.facebook.com/Wetskills-496271977097972″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_facebook”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”http://twitter.com/wetskills” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_twitter”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-instagram” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.instagram.com/wetskills/” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_instagram”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2949484″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_linkedin”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-youtube-square” fe_icon=”social_youtube” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJmPNM9roCkR1uvgJMHqpvA” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px”] \nWetskills congratulates our Ambassador Kiran Badloe\n[vc_single_image image=”58466″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Kiran Badloe\, windsurfing\, won the Olympic golden medal in Tokyo last week.

The wind farm industry is constantly innovating and apart from new wind farms being built\, current wind farms are being replaced or reimagined. As wind energy is aiding us in our mission towards a sustainable future in Japan and the Netherlands\, solutions must be found that incorporate the wishes of all stakeholders involved in the space used at sea. These stakeholders include fishermen\, ecologists\, governments\, shipping companies\, wind farm developers and the general public\, to name a few. Because of the variety of stakeholders and their interests it is a challenge to divide this space\, and this is where multi-use and repurposing of wind farms plays an important role. How can we make sure that multiple stakeholders can mutually benefit from the same sea space in harmony? \nCase 2: Multi-layer flood safety: impact on land & water planning\nCase owner: Hoogheemraadschap Hollands Noorderkwartier (The Netherlands) \nBoth Japan and The Netherlands have been qualified as high-risk countries that have to deal with climate change effects (World Risk Report 2016\, WEF). Due to climate change extreme weather events and storm surges will occur more frequent. For a flood prone country as the Netherlands with a long tradition on water management\, risks of disrupting water crises caused by climate change are increasing. Working with the so-called multi-layer approach is becoming the major policy to prepare the country for the increased probability of flood events and its impact on society. How can both Japan and The Netherlands benefit of the multi-layer safety approach to develop adaptive strategies for maintaining their high level of society under increasing threats of flood events? \nCase 3: A new use of rainwater assets in a strategy for climate adaptation\nCase owners: Waternet Amsterdam Utility (The Netherlands)\n \nClimate change is becoming more and more visible in the city of Amsterdam. The past years there were multiple incidents of severe rainfall\, but also an increase in heat waves and extreme droughts. Climate adaptation is essential to provide the citizens of Amsterdam with a physically\, socially\, and economically healthy living environment in the future. How can the existing infrastructure and assets of Amsterdam be best used in a future proof strategy? How can Waternet use them more effective or even integrate them with a multi-purpose use? Let’s create a plan to make the best out of rainwater as source for climate adaptation! \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”58488″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”58489″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”58490″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”58465\,58464\,57050\,57051″ column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”58340″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”58341″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57038″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56310″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57037″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55387″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57039″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”53101″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53285″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”58405″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52245″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

The mission of the Duzi-uMngeni Conservation Trust (DUCT) is to empower local citizens to be champions of the environment (Enviro-Champs) in their local community. Through a green livelihoods programme\, people living adjacent to rivers are given the responsibility to adopt-a-stretch – cleaning\, maintaining\, greening\, restoring\, and undertaking citizen science monitoring on that section of the river. The challenge that DUCT now faces is how to create a (financially) sustainable business model for the activities. Government\, private\, and civil society partners all have something to give\, and value to gain from being involved. How do we bring this together in a long-term sustainable ‘win-win’ way? \nCase 2: LookSeeDo: Virtual Reality experience for capacitating staff\nCase owner: JumpLoom & Blue Deal South Africa (project Crocodile River) \n\n\n\nSouth Africa is facing an immediate water crisis caused\, by amongst others\, insufficient water infrastructure maintenance\, a lack of investment and inadequate technical skills. Many WWTWs are failing to comply with their stipulated license conditions\, are not “Green Drop certified” as required by the Department of Water and Sanitation\, and at least 30% are at a high risk of failure. One of the key challenges is the lack of ongoing regular and appropriate WWTW staff training. Virtual reality (VR)\, as training and education method\, could bring new opportunities for (cost)effective training provision. Could JumpLoom become a sustainable value-add given the current technical skills challenges in the South African Wastewater sector? \n\n\n\nCase 3: Swamp-friendly Water Hyacinth harvesting\nCase owner: Blue Deal South Africa (project Vaal River) \nThe Vaal river is known for its poor water quality. The Blesbokspruit wetland (BBS)\, located in the Upper Vaal catchment\, is one of the 26 RAMSAR sites in South Africa. The BSS is close to losing its status due to threats of pollution resulting in low water quality. One of the main challenges is the invasive alien species like the water hyacinth\, which is well-known for its fast growing and destructive attitude. The water hyacinth is also a useful plant for improving water quality and purposes as energy production\, water purification and building materials. The main question for the BBS: How can the water hyacinth be prevented spreading or collected in a sustainable and self-supportive way. \nPrevious events in South Africa\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”51836\,51834\,51833\,51832″ column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”53563″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52242″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57038″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52240″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57645″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52146″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52245″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Join this Wetskills event!\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

The City of Zwolle launched the SenHagen project where citizens voluntarily placed sensors to measure data as temperature\, precipitation and air quality. With this crowd sourcing project\, both city and citizen know which part of the neighborhood is coolest or has the best air quality\, which is great when you are doing your exercise round. But the roll-out of the system is costly; new business cases for applications are welcome. How can new applications of the available data (and with which partners) create a business case to roll-out the SenHagen monitoring to other neighborhoods in cities worldwide? \nCase 2: Optimising flood defence strategy\, resilient cities and nature2000\nCase owner: Water Authority Hollands Noorderkwartier and 1-2 international partners \nFlood safety\, spatial development in relation to climate change and nature2000 ambitions are challenging goals for parties involved. Every location in Europe has different area characteristics\, for morphology\, natural qualities and regulations and spatial development. To find optimal solutions we need new approaches in collaborations where we can find the best solution for all three viewpoints. A few examples exist in coastal areas where nature-based solutions were found for flood defence constructions. How can we find these examples and use them in other areas? \nCase 3: Virtual Water flows between Romania and Hungary\nCase owner: Water Footprint Implementation \nIs it possible to use water on places when you are not present at that moment? Yes\, it is! A virtual water flow is embedded water in products that are produced (with water use during the production process) at location A and consumed (with the embedded water in that product) at location B. Import and export mean a flow of virtual water as well. The Water Footprint\, the method that determines the freshwater use in production processes\, is an excellent tool to provide insights in the virtual water flows between continents\, countries and/or river basins. How can we use the virtual water flow between Romania and Hungary for improving the sustainable freshwater use in both countries? \nEvent Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57644″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53101″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

SUMMARY:W@tskills-India 2021
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Create your Climate Adaptive Future!\nOnline (interstate) W@tskills Event in India! \nWetskills Foundation and our Indian host Centre for Environment Education organized this Water Challenge with participants from different states in India together with international participants. The participants worked in transdisciplinary teams on real-life water cases from 2 – 13 January. \nThis edition was the fifth Wetskills event in India\, after Events in 2015 and 2017 in Ahmedabad\, and the 2019 Event in both Delhi and Kerala. \nThe results of this Wetskills event will be published during the Water Action Track of the online Climate Adaptation Summit. This online Summit will be organized by the Global Center on Adaptation in The Netherlands on 25 January 2021 with the live and online presence of many Sustainability Leaders all over the world.  \nThe main theme of this Wetskills Challenge was Climate Adaptation and the role of water.  The study-cases for the teams were covering Climate Adaptation themes in various parts of India with various stakeholders. \nPractical Information\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Programme Wetskills-India 2021 \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_button icon_pack=”font_awesome” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” icon_position=”right” target=”_blank” font_weight=”” text=”Attend on Facebook” link=”https://www.facebook.com/events/775118673066771″ icon_color=”#ffffff”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Video’s of previous Wetskills events in India!\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Follow Wetskills\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.facebook.com/Wetskills-496271977097972″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_facebook”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”http://twitter.com/wetskills” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_twitter”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-instagram” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.instagram.com/wetskills/” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_instagram”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2949484″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_linkedin”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-youtube-square” fe_icon=”social_youtube” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJmPNM9roCkR1uvgJMHqpvA” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px”] \n[vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”58053\,58002\,58017\,58010\,58009″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_blog_list type=”boxes” image_size=”landscape” show_thumbnail=”yes” number_of_columns=”4″ overlay_icon=”1″ order_by=”date” order=”DESC” title_tag=”h5″ display_excerpt=”1″ info_position=”top” post_info_text_transform=”none” post_info_font_weight=”700″ post_info_font_style=”normal” display_category=”0″ display_date=”1″ date_place=”over_title” display_author=”0″ display_comments=”0″ display_button=”1″ icon_pack=”font_elegant” fe_icon=”arrow_right” button_icon_position=”right” number_of_posts=”8″ overlay_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” category=”W@tskills-India 2021″ text_length=”160″ title_size=”28″ title_color=”#0076b2″ post_info_font_size=”20″ post_info_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” post_info_font_family=”Montserrat” post_info_letter_spacing=”-0\,5″ date_size=”21″ box_info_padding=”40px 5px 5px 5px” button_text=”READ MORE” button_background_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” button_hover_background_color=”#0076b2″ button_border_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” button_hover_border_color=”#0076b2″]Event Cases\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 1: Water as Leverage for Clean Rivers\nIndia is generating an enormous amount of sewage from which about 85% of wastewater is being discharged in the environment. Looking at the Ganga river basin human activities generate approximately three times the sewerage as the treatment capacity. Various initiatives have been established\, as National Mission for Clean Ganga\, to achieve the water quality norms in the Indian rivers. The ‘Water as Leverage’ method focus on urban climate resilience with rather small-scale activities\, with the aim of leveraging the necessary investment for the implementation of larger scale activities (for example in Chennai). How can Indian cities use ‘Water as Leverage’ to plan a Climate Adaptive urban area with a focus on both clean and polluted water and create that leverage to clean the rivers? \nCase 2: Strengthing community involvement in water governance: Pani Panchayat\nSDG6: clean water and healthy sanitation is an enormous challenge in rural areas in India. There is a massive drive to provide water and sanitation infrastructure in villages. Community participation and ownership in planning\, management and governance of water resources can help find solutions that cater to the locale specific requirement in the villages. Their participation especially that of women in governance of water at the village level using platforms such as the Pani Panchayat and Gram Sabhas needs to be strengthened\, learning from best-practices on ‘Pani Panchayat and also small-scale technical solutions: Water in Communities’. How can rural communities take the lead in water governance to create robust and resilient small-scale water and sanitation systems? How can rural communities especially women take ownership of water and sanitation solutions\, creation of systems to manage and monitor? \nCase 3: Water-Smart planning of agriculture\nThe expected population growth and its growing needs in combination with water stress due to climate change is creating more pressure on the agriculture. Also in India. India is already facing water stress and as a result of this\, the water quality is becoming poorer\, less water for functions and enormous groundwater extraction. Looking at farmers’ aim is to grow as much as possible with the available water to maximize the income. This leads to a vicious circle where the water demand and supply is becoming less optimized. The Water Footprint is a scientifically proven method to measure and gain insight into the supply and demand of water for agriculture and even quantify it in terms of economic added value and virtual water flows. How can India use the Water Footprint as a method for its strategic water allocation management and create a better resilience for its farmers? \nPitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”58056″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”58057″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”58058″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: ‘Pink Alert’: Empowering Women for Climate Adaptation\nAs women and children are the most affected and helpless during any natural disasters\, prioritization of their needs should be taken into planning practices. Special attention is required during and after disasters to improve their access to recovery assistance and to help them advocate for themselves and to help them voice out issues that may improve the development of local mitigation and adaptation measures. Moreover\, a pro-active attitude with a focus on avoiding disasters can prevent a lot of damage. The impact of minimal understanding of disaster risk reduction on women is apparent in the poor participation of women in risk management initiatives. One of the best practices in India (Kerala) is Pink Alert (Kudumbasree)\, a permanent disaster management unit focusing on flooding in Kerala\, managed and operated by women. How could this example be used for Climate Adaptation purposes and create more resilience in India? \nCase 5: Reducing industrial pollution in river systems \nIndia is one of the largest manufacturing countries worldwide. Urban areas have large scale industrial areas with literally all kinds of factories. These industries produce wastewater with a cocktail of various and heavy chemicals\, which harms the rivers and this the environment\, health and biodiversity badly. Some of these chemicals\, like naphthalene in Gujarat\, are difficult to degrade in simple compounds through conventional processes because of the characteristics and the combination with and amount of other chemicals. How can Indian industries individually but also as industrial areas improve its manufacturing units to meet wastewater quality standards and improve environment\, health and biodiversity\, but also taking into consideration the economic importance of industries? \nPitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”58059″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_single_image image=”58063″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55418″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57924″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57923″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57038″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”54101″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56306″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55657″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53101″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53285″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56310″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

It is the largest unbroken system of intertidal sand and mud flats in the world. The area also contains other functions like living areas\, tourist destination and fishing. The current ferry transportation is considered as unsustainable and fossil fuel driven plus there is an ecological impact on the seabed due to dredging. Sustainable mobility and transportation in this shallow tidal system is necessary to create and keep a habitable environment\, a sustainable economy on the islands and a resilient ecology in the Wadden Sea. An inventory to worldwide examples has been executed\, now it is up to the Wetskills team on how some parts of these inspiring example(s) can help us design an ultimate sustainable mobility concept(s) for the Dutch Wadden Sea and Islands to inspire further transition! \nCase 2: Don’t let it go! Retaining water in sloping sandy areas\nCase owner: Wetterskip Fryslan \nThe Province of Friesland is used to draining water to the sea. Due to the recent dry years\, it turns out that the sloping sandy areas in the South East drain to fast and have troubles in retaining the water. That is why Wetterskip Fryslan\, four municipalities\, the Province and the national government have made a deal: ‘Regiodeal South East Friesland’. They will invest in measures to help slowing down the water and help it infiltrate to build up a reserve in the groundwater. How can this coalition find applicable and effective solutions for retaining water in this area\, being technical\, infrastructural\, ecological or maybe even social? \nCase 3: The Tourist as Co-creator for accelerating sustainable freshwater use\nCase owner: Province of Fryslân \nIslands in the Wadden Sea have a restricted amount of freshwater availability\, due to saline boundaries of the sea. Islanders are used to utilising this water in a self-sufficient way for generations. Due to extensive tourism\, more resources from the islands are being exploited and more products from the mainland are being requested. As ‘money spender’ or ‘income bringer’ the tourist plays a large role in the choice and number of products\, manufactured locally and/or sustainably with less water. How can the islands activate tourists becoming the co-creator and do-er for new ways of water conservation (also in an inspiring and fun way)? \nPitch & Poster\n[vc_single_image image=”57846″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster\n[vc_single_image image=”57847″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster\n\n[vc_single_image image=”57848″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”54075″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53767″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54085″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57352″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57353″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57662″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53766″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”52243″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53101″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56621″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””]Previous Wetskills events in The Netherlands\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”51642\,2384\,2371\,2367\,2327″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

The team came up with a creative solution to kick-start a sustainable and self-supportive local Water Footprint Network in Oman and combining experience jobs for talented female graduates. The case was formulated by a consortium of Water Footprint Implementation\, Oman Water Society\, Water Footprint Network and Sultan Qaboos University. These organizations aim to establish a local network for awareness and capacity development including the implementation of the Water Footprint concept. Maartje Wadman\, Junior Soil Advisor of Antea Group in The Netherlands\, presenter of the pitch for the winning team: “Really would like to thank everyone who made this Wetskills edition still an unforgettable experience. I am sure that I will come back to Oman and that I will join another Wetskills edition.” \nCoronavirus \nThe Coronavirus (COVID-19) affected the Wetskills programme in Oman. Despite all adaptive measures\, the shortening of 2 days and the postpone of the 2nd International conference on Water Resources in Arid Areas where the Finals & Awarding Ceremony were planned\, the programme went well\, the participants were satisfied\, and the results are promising. The Wetskills supervsiors Marcel Rompelman and Ahmed Al-Busaidi (SQU) managed to complete a quality programme in Muscat. \nRead more: Press-release Wetskills-Oman 2020 \nFore more information: Johan Oost\, johan.oost@wetskills.com and/or Ahmed Al-Busaidi\, ahmed99@squ.edu.om. \n— \nThe 2020 central theme of Wetskills Events\, celebrating 10 years of Wetskills:\n‘VALUING FUTURE WATER LEADERS SHAKING THE WATER-ENERGY-FOOD COCKTAIL WITH THEIR INCLUSIVE & CATALYTIC CAPACITY’. \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event info\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Programme Wetskills-Oman 2020 \nTerms & Conditions Wetskills-Oman 2020 \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_button icon_pack=”font_awesome” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” icon_position=”right” target=”_self” font_weight=”” text=”Attend on Facebook” link=”https://www.facebook.com/events/2190960907875521/” icon_color=”#ffffff”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Movie Wetskills-Oman 2019 \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Follow Wetskills\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.facebook.com/Wetskills-496271977097972″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_facebook”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”http://twitter.com/wetskills” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_twitter”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-instagram” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.instagram.com/wetskills/” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_instagram”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2949484″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_linkedin”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-youtube-square” fe_icon=”social_youtube” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJmPNM9roCkR1uvgJMHqpvA” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px”] \nOverview programme\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]The Finals\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Field visits to Haya Water and Nizwa\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”57289\,57290\,57291\,57292″ img_size=”medium” column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”57293\,57294\,57296\,57297″ img_size=”medium” column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”57299\,57303\,57300\,57301″ img_size=”medium” column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]Event Cases\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 1: Turn Energy to Water and back. Creating a cross-sectoral communication\nCase owner: Water Footprint Implementation \nOman is a water-scarce country\, and energy-rich when looking at the large (fossil) energy resources. Energy in Oman is rather cheap and the main catalyst for its economy. Oman is also facing the world’s sustainability challenge of lowering the use of fossil energy and the transition to alternative energy production. But are stakeholders in Oman aware that this also affects the use of its valuable and scarce water? Various Ministries are invloved\, e.g. Water\, Energy\, but also Internal affairs and Economy. Team challenge: How could the determination of the Water Footprint of Oman’s energy-mix\, and the Carbon Footprint of Oman’s water use\, contribute to cross-sectoral communication? \nCase 2: Visual Problem Appraisal for Integrated Water Management in Oman\nCase owner: Van Hall Larenstein\n \nTo achieve the ambitions of the National Water Resource Master Plan\, it is envisioned that young Omani need to learn about Water management issues in their country. Involved institutions are exploring innovative learning strategies with a potential to stimulate water management knowledge and expertise with an interdisciplinary focus. In the search for a learning strategy that caters for an action-research orientation on water management\, Wetskills Oman is exploring the potential of a series of film-based interviews for distance learning (Visual Problem Appraisal). \nCase 3: Impact of NON-domestic wastewater\nCase owner: Haya Water \nDischarging Non-Domestic Wastewater to the sewerage system is an operational\, environmental and safety risk. This can also cause odours\, dangerous gases\, accelerated corrosion\, and sewer network blockage. It can affect the sewage treatment processes\, and adversely impact bio-solids and effluent quality. Moreover\, discharging Non-Domestic Wastewater to the sewer poses a health and safety risk to personnel working in and around the sewerage system\, due to substances in the industrial wastewater or their reactions with other substances. This Case study aims to reduce the impact\, and protect Haya Water assets from harmful disposal of Non-Domestic Wastewater into Haya Water sewage network and STP’s. \nFinal Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”8 px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”57382″][vc_empty_space height=”16 px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”8 px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”57383″][vc_empty_space height=”16 px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”8 px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”57384″][vc_empty_space height=”16 px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: Chances for Agroforestry in Oman using treated effluent\nCase owner: Sultan Qaboos University\, department of Soil Sciences\n \nOver 15 years ago a country study was done to investigate the possibilities of forests in Oman. The study showed it is critical to integrate planted trees and forests in more holistic approaches: Agroforestry. That means\, to provide environmental services\, stimulate biodiversity benefits\, and meet people’s short and long-term needs. The creation of demonstration sites was suggested. What are the chances for Agroforestry in Oman? And in what way could treated effluent be used in Agroforestry? \nCase 5: Sustainable embedding of the Water Footprint in Oman\nCase owners: Sultan Qaboos University\, Water Footprint Implementation\, Oman Water Society & Water Footprint Network\n \nWater Footprint has the potential to become a leading concept for quantifying freshwater use in Oman. The Water Footprint Network (WFN) established worldwide several hubs\, each with a local network focusing on research\, awareness raising and capacity building about the Water Footprint concept. In 2019\, WFN and the Sultan Qaboos University discussed on the possibilities of creating a Water Footprint Hub in Oman\, in collaboration with other partners. This hub should also focus on the implementation of projects to bring the Water Footprint Theory into practice in Oman. How could the Case Owners set-up a sustainable and self-supportive Water Footprint Hub in Oman? \nFinal Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”8 px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”57385″][vc_empty_space height=”16 px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”8 px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”57386″][vc_empty_space height=”16 px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”53049″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53546″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53806″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55015″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53810″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55011″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56621″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52257″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52245″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52243″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””]Event Blogs\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_blog_list type=”boxes” image_size=”landscape” show_thumbnail=”yes” number_of_columns=”4″ overlay_icon=”1″ order_by=”date” order=”DESC” title_tag=”h5″ display_excerpt=”1″ info_position=”top” post_info_text_transform=”none” post_info_font_weight=”700″ post_info_font_style=”normal” display_category=”0″ display_date=”1″ date_place=”over_title” display_author=”0″ display_comments=”0″ display_button=”1″ icon_pack=”font_elegant” fe_icon=”arrow_right” button_icon_position=”right” number_of_posts=”9″ overlay_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” category=”wetskills-oman-2020″ text_length=”160″ title_size=”28″ title_color=”#0076b2″ post_info_font_size=”20″ post_info_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” post_info_font_family=”Montserrat” post_info_letter_spacing=”-0\,5″ date_size=”21″ box_info_padding=”40px 5px 5px 5px” button_text=”READ MORE” button_background_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” button_hover_background_color=”#0076b2″ button_border_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” button_hover_border_color=”#0076b2″]

DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Wetskills Water Challenge at AIWW 2019!\nWetskills organized a great Wetskills Water Challenge in Amsterdam\, linked to the Amsterdam International Water Week AIWW 2019. The Challenge started on October 25\, with the finals on November 7 as part of the AIWW program. \nTeams of students and young water professionals – 26 participants from 12 different countries – were working on real life water cases in a exciting two-week programme. Their main challenge: to think out-of-the-box and develop innovative\, realistic concepts. All participants also joined the AIWW Future Water Leaders Program. \nThe teams presented their ideas with a two minute pitch\, Q&A and a poster\, and the winning team was awarded by the jury during the AIWW Closing Ceremony: ‘And the winner… is Team 3\, with their plan for sustainable agriculture in peatlands. Congratulations!’ \n"It has indeed been a fruitful\, joyous and amazing time as the 26 participants spend two weeks enjoying each others company\, learning\,exploring and finding ways to work as a team together and solve six pressured\, difficult cases.

As the water board is not on the bar to solve all problems\, all stakeholders have to join and work together\, from a social responsibility. But citizens and municipalities do not always take their role. How can these parties be brought into an active position for co-creation\, so that they can make their own contribution for a climate-proof environment?

The communities are heavily affected by declining water quality\, with pollution causing health issues and impacting fisheries and agriculture. Existing initiatives for community-based environmental monitoring typically focus on generating data for authorities and science\, and rural water supply schemes typically focus on water quantity. How could an autonomous and systematic water quality monitoring and water treatment be integrated into community-based management of water resources and water supply? \nFinal Poster \n\nTeam 4: Dirty Water Playbook – The Key to Decentralized Water Supply & Monitoring in the Lower Mara Communities\, Tanzinia\n\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57009″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 5: Break the production chains\, for a circular economy!\nCase owner: Municipality of Westland \nThe municipality of Westland is a partner in the ‘BioBoost initiative’\, which aims to stimulate a biobased development in horticulture in Europe. This case focuses on rethinking the chain for biomass (wet) residual flows\, f.e. rest products of tomatoes\, in the Westland hortisector. The aim is to create value and a new purpose for upscaled products. How can we make changes\, in early stages of the production chain\, to create an optimal result?

SUMMARY:Wetskills-India (Kerala) 2019
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]In 2018 Kerala was facing devastating floods. New concepts of flood control are necessary to protect people\, economy and environment\, taking into account that more floods will come due to climate change. “Integrated Water Management and Flood Control“ was the central theme of this Wetskills event in Kerala\, India. \nA DRR team of Dutch water experts visited Kerala and studied the water situation in the area. Their recommendations for improved integrated Water Management in the area is found in report ‘Kerala Integrated Water Resource Management’. In this Wetskills event\, the teams worked with the recommendations of this report.\n \nThis fourth Wetskills event in India was aligned to a high-level business delegation visit from the Netherlands to Kerala (Kochi) on 18 October. The results of the Wetskills Challenge were presented during this visit\, to the Indian government\, the business delegates and other stakeholders. \nWatch the video of Wetskills-India Kerala 2019\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Practical Information\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Programme Wetskills-India (Kerala) 2019 \nTerms & Conditions Wetskills-India (Kerala) 2019 \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]About Wetskills\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Wetskills leaflet & track record \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Follow Wetskills\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.facebook.com/Wetskills-496271977097972″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_facebook”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”http://twitter.com/wetskills” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_twitter”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-instagram” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.instagram.com/wetskills/” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_instagram”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-twitter” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2949484″ anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px” fe_icon=”social_linkedin”]     [no_icons icon_pack=”font_elegant” fa_icon=”fa-youtube-square” fe_icon=”social_youtube” fa_size=”fa-lg” custom_size=”30″ type=”normal” rotated_shape=”no” icon_shadow=”no” inner_border=”no” back_to_top_icon=”” link=”https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJmPNM9roCkR1uvgJMHqpvA” anchor_icon=”” target=”_blank” icon_color=”#0076b2″ hover_icon_color=”#43dbbd” margin=”0px 12px 0px 0px”] \n[vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”55659\,55661\,55664″ css=”” column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]Event Cases\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 1: ‘Pink Alert’: Empowering Women during Flooding\nAs women and children are the most affected group during flooding\, their needs should get priority in planning practices. Special attention is required during and after disasters to improve their access to recovery assistance. Empowerment is needed\, to help them advocate for themselves and to help them voice out issues that may improve the development of local mitigation and adaptation measures. Better participation of women in risk management initiatives is needed. One of the best practices in Kerala is Pink Alert (Kudumbasree)\, a permanent disaster management unit in Kerala\, managed and operated by women. How could new measures\, including capacity building training\, enhance the potential of women in disaster risk management and disaster relief plans in Kerala?  \nFinal Poster – Winning team!\n \n\nTeam 1: Flood Education Kerala – Connecting students to community-based solutions\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56576″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 2: From SMART cities to SMART-Resilient cities\nIndia is working on transforming its cities into SMART cities. In 2018\, one of the heaviest floods in 100 years took the lives of 200 people in Kochi and the region\, and caused massive damage to infrastructure\, further affecting the economy and livelihoods of the people in the area. Kochi airport had to close for 2 weeks because of the damage. While monsoon season can bring much needed rainfall\, the season can also bring heavy floods\, while a delayed onset of the monsoon can leave Kerala facing water shortages and severe draught. How can Kochi authorities use SMART planning and infrastructure\, to increase the water storage capacity and reduce the effect of floods? and become a ‘SMART Resilient City’? \nFinal Poster \n\nTeam 2: How to make the city flood resilient? a smart and resilient approach\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56578″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 3: Water Footprint for better Water-2-Agriculture allocation upstream\nThe State of Kerala demands a better upstream-downstream regime in order to avoid flood in the downstream area. Better allocation of water could lead to mitigation of floods while upstream agriculture could benefit from it. The Water Footprint is a scientifically proven method to measure and gain insight into the supply and demand of water for agriculture and even quantify it in terms of economic added value. How can the Water Footprint method be used in order to mitigate flood effects in terms upstream-downstream regime in Kerala? \nFinal Poster \n\nTeam 3: The NieuwPaadam Project – The added value of the Water Footprint for land- and water management in Kerala\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56580″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 4: Long Term Dredging Schemes for Flood Mitigation\nThe monsoon season between June and September brings 70% of Kerala’s rainfall. This water is necessary for sustaining the livelihoods of people\, but it is also causing heavy flooding as in 2018 and 2019. Well-maintained rivers\, canals and reservoirs could mitigate the effects of the monsoon. Dredging riverbeds and reservoirs will increase the capacity to retain floodwater. Improving small-scale watershed management\, and maintenance of water retaining constructions\, will avoid sedimentation of rivers. But most important\, this should be done in a long-term scheme to make it more efficient and effective. How could Kerala organize and finance a long-term maintenance scheme\, incl. dredging activities and improved watershed management\, leading to flood risk mitigation? \nFinal Poster \n\nTeam 4: Productive Dredging – How can a long term dredging scheme contribute to flood prevention?\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56574″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”56635\,56634\,56637\,56636″ img_size=”full” column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]Event Blogs\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”51924″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56306″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55656″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55657″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56310″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52154″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””]

SUMMARY:Wetskills-India (Delhi) 2019
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]‘Connecting Science and Innovation with people and entrepreneurship’ was the central theme of this Wetskills event. \nLocation of the event was the Barapullah Drain in Delhi\, where currently a research lab is established by the Dutch and Indian government\, in a joint effort of IIT Delhi and TU Delft\, for research on waste water and water re-use. \nThis lab is mainly the domain of researchers. The question is how this lab can be transformed into a so called ‘WETLAB’ that is connected to public and schools for awareness and education\, and that is open for entrepreneurs to test new technologies. In such a WETLAB integrated solutions can be demonstrated and shared\, for the clean up of the Barapullah Drain. And last but not least\, this WETLAB could be a blue print for many other drains in India. \nWinning team was ‘Leave none behind’\, with their plan for citizens’ involvement in solid waste disposal. Congratulations!

The cases are related to the WETLAB\, the research facility of IIT Delhi and TU Delft\, for research on waste water and water re-use. \nCase 1: Citizen Science\nCommunity involvement is a very important aspect for a successful clean up of a drain. Having just ‘end of pipe solutions’ isn’t enough if there is no awareness on water at a grass root level. Therefore communities have to become aware on what is happening at the drain\, and learn more about the different aspects of water and circular solutions\, that of course should fit in their daily needs. This is not just a matter of creating a physical attractive venue\, but also finding ways of getting public involved (citizen science). How can the WETLAB become a dynamic place with public involvement to stimulate cleaning the Barapullah Drain? \nFinal Poster – Winning team!\n \n\nTeam 1: Leave none behind – Citizens’ involvement of solid waste disposal\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56632″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 2: Technological- and non-technical  solutions needed at the Barapullah Drain\nThe WETLAB is focusing on wastewater technologies and reuse. This is just one part of the puzzle. What other innovative technologies are needed to rejuvenate the drain: Technologies for monitoring & sensoring\, removing solid waste\, waste water technologies for upstream pollution control\, technologies for climate adaptation like water storage and rain water harvesting? How can we design an integrated approach for rejuvenating the Barapullah Drain based on these aspects\, and make it climate proof? \nFinal Poster \n\nTeam 2: The Reed Treatment – Clean drains in India\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56631″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 3: Creation of an experience center\nA WETLAB as testing facility could be inspiring to people of all generations. The current temporary venue of the WETLAB however\, is not attractive to inspire citizens to come\, although it is located in a green area\, even marked as nature reserve downstream. How can the WETLAB become an att­­­­­ractive place for public and schools in the nearby area\, so that they get a better understanding of water and circular issues? What kind of experiments could the WETLAB offer to the public\, and how could the current venue be transformed into an attractive “experience center”? \nFinal Poster \n\nTeam 3: EnviroSpark Experience centre – Embedding the seeds of sustainable future\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56629″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 4: Entrepreneurship and knowledge exchange\nA WETLAB testing facility is a great vehicle to stimulate applied research\, leading to development of new products\, marketing these products and creating start-ups. Also existing businesses can use a WETLAB to test and pilot their technologies in practice. There are many examples worldwide\, showing how such a testing facility can work\, under which goals and circumstances. How can the WETLAB at the Barapullah Drain create such an atmosphere\, so that Indian\, Dutch and European companies will come over to the site and start piloting and testing? \nFinal Poster \n\nTeam 4: Incubation Centre for Knowledge Exchange and Entrepreneurship\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56630″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56398″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56397″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52255″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”51924″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52155″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52154″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”51210″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””]

However\, both countries are becoming more vulnerable to droughts. The Great Hungarian Plain is facing severe drought challenges and especially agriculture is under pressure. An ‘Inspiration Guide’ should showcase innovative and economic attractive methods of agriculture and technical solutions for wetland and irrigation restauration\, and generate more awareness among all stakeholders. How could such an Inspiration Guide contribute to innovative Integrated Water Resource Management Plans\, taking into account drought and climate change? \nFinal Poster \n\nTeam 1: Inspiration Guide – Attention\, attention: water retention!\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56603″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 2: Communicating the Value of Water for Next Generations \nCase owner: Dutch Wavemakers \nWater is all around us\, most of it unnoticed to our everyday life. Behind the scenes of the water streaming from the tap\, the river carrying its ships\, and the rainwater disappearing into the sewage\, there is an active network of water managers to ensure clean\, sufficient and safe water. Raising awareness about our most precious resource is the first step in ensuring its availability for future generations. Hungary as one of the members of the UN High Level Water Panel would like to contribute to improving the Value of Water. How can we improve communication the ‘Value of Water’ by involving the next generation and inter-connecting generations in Hungary? \nFinal Poster \n\nTeam 2: WET – Water Education and Training\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56607″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 3: Dreaming the Water Resource and Recovery Facility of 2030 \nCase owner: Budapest University of Technology and Economics \nBoth water scarcity and resource limitations are great challenges of the 21st century. Innovations focusing only on treating wastewater and producing high quality drinking water cost-effectively are not enough any more for really ‘sustainable’ water management. Paradigm shift is necessary to transform “wastewater” to “used-water” which may be useful for further use and valorisation\, as well as “wastewater treatment” to “water and resource recovery”. This case addresses the design of a future Water Resource and Recovery Facility (WRRF) involving as many important aspects of sustainable water and resource management as possible\, i.e. industry\, agriculture-irrigation\, public transport\, smart urban solutions\, sludge management\, risk assessment (e.g.\, micropollutants\, antibiotic resistance\, etc.). How could you imagine an efficient WRRF for 2030? \nFinal Poster \n\nTeam 3: Decentralized Urban Rainwater Harvesting – Catch if you can\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56605″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Event Blogs\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_blog_list type=”boxes” image_size=”landscape” show_thumbnail=”yes” number_of_columns=”4″ overlay_icon=”1″ order_by=”date” order=”DESC” title_tag=”h5″ display_excerpt=”1″ info_position=”top” post_info_text_transform=”none” post_info_font_weight=”700″ post_info_font_style=”normal” display_category=”0″ display_date=”1″ date_place=”over_title” display_author=”0″ display_comments=”0″ display_button=”1″ icon_pack=”font_elegant” fe_icon=”arrow_right” button_icon_position=”right” number_of_posts=”8″ overlay_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” category=”Wetskills-Hungary-2019″ text_length=”160″ title_size=”28″ title_color=”#0076b2″ post_info_font_size=”20″ post_info_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” post_info_font_family=”Montserrat” post_info_letter_spacing=”-0\,5″ date_size=”21″ box_info_padding=”40px 5px 5px 5px” button_text=”READ MORE” button_background_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” button_hover_background_color=”#0076b2″ button_border_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” button_hover_border_color=”#0076b2″]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55526″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52257″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56300″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56301″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55387″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56621″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

Mekong delta has salty groundwater due to saline water intrusion\, while rainwater is only available in the rainy season. KIST researchers try to find solutions for this water supply problem. How can water be provided to citizens in Mekong delta? \nFinal Poster \n\nTeam 1: Innovation on Rainwater harvesting techniques\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56246″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””]Case 2: Culture: Catalyst of water transitions\nCase owner: Province of Fryslan \nIn the coming decades\, we face major water challenges in the urban environment (both quality and quantity management). In the City of Leeuwarden in The Netherlands\, important steps have been taken with regard to water quality over the past 20 years. Climate adaptation is a major new challenge. Interventions will be necessary\, and are going to affect people’s lifes in the city. Important is the support and acceptance of the citizens. How can ‘culture’ increase the acceptance of citizens\, so they increasingly support the necessary climate change interventions? After all\, Result = Quality x Acceptance. \nFinal Poster – Winning team!\n \n\nTeam 2: Creating cultural solutions to raise water awareness\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56248″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””]Case 3: Coastal villages adaptive to sea level rise\nCase owner: Water Authority Noorderkwartier \nOne of the tasks of Water Authority HHNK is to manage and maintain the primary flood defense systems. Along their coastline\, where part of the dunes are the primary flood defense system\, erosion is taking place. To stabilize erosion\, the Dutch national government has set up a nourishment scheme to keep up with sea level rise. When sea level rising persists\, this scheme might not be enough for the protection of the villages situated in the dunes. The Wetskills team is challenged to come up with different/new adaptation options for an imaginary village along the HHNK coastline. \nFinal Poster \n\nTeam 3: Solutions for gradual and safe adaptation to sea level rise\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56249″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: Sustainable Future: Water & Energy\nCase owner: Waternet Water Authority Amsterdam \nFor 2040\, Amsterdam wants all energy used in the city to come from renewable resources. If the city wants to have a 100% sustainable energy supply\, they have to find new sustainable energy sources in the near future. Waternet\, the city’s Water Authority\, is looking for ways in which water can contribute to this energy transition. During the previous Wetskills-South Korea edition in 2018\, the assigned (winning) team came up with the ‘Water Wide Web’: an energy network that can store energy on different levels close to households. The challenge for the new team now is to come up with a practical implementation strategy for this ‘web’. \nFinal Poster \n\nTeam 4: Water conservation and renewable energy\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56244″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””]Case 5: South Korea’s virtual water trade\nCase owner: Water Footprint Implementation \nSouth Korea is one of the largest net ‘virtual water import’ countries for agricultural products. At the same time\, more than 50% of South Korea’s exports are electronics\, machinery and other type of equipment. Other notable exports are refined petroleum and minerals. All with a large ‘domestic Water Footprint’. How is ‘virtual water trade’ affecting the sustainability and security of water resources in South Korea? And what is the relationship in virtual water trade with a trade partner like Mexico? \nFinal Poster \n\nTeam 5: Balancing the virtual water\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56251″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””]More Event Pictures on South Korea 2018 & 2019\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”56055\,56056\,56057\,56058″ img_size=”large” column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”56059\,56060\,56061\,56062″ img_size=”large” column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”55942\,55943\,55944\,55945″ img_size=”large” column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”55949\,55948\,55947\,55946″ img_size=”large” column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”53727\,53669\,53670\,53708″ img_size=”large” column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”53800\,53798\,53801\,53799″ img_size=”large” column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]The programme of 2018\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]The Finals & Awarding in 2018\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”53765″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53274″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56307″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55013″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53275″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55019″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55020″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55012″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53766″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53767″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53101″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”52373″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53546″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53764″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””]

Mexico is number one in the use of bottled water per capita\, and not all bottles are recycled. 99% of the costs for a water bottle are to cover the costs of the (usually plastic) bottle\, advertising and transportation. Recycling of bottles is a good practice\, which creates some money\, but it does not solve the problem on the long term. Could we use this money for creating another way of drinking water provision\, with water as a basic good\, creating less pollution? \nFinal poster \n\nPoster Plastic off\, tap water on – Reusable Water bottles\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56133″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 2: Water Reuse Decision Support System (WAREDESS) \nCase owner: King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)\n \nWater reuse – the use of treated wastewater – is an obvious way to alleviate water stress in water scarce regions. Globally\, still 80% of wastewater flows back into the ecosystem without being treated or reused. Water reuse has a huge potential to provide water for drinking\, irrigation\, or industrial uses\, but many factors limit the implementation. Technical and financial challenges can be solved\, but is the public ready to accept it? And what do we need to know/do so that everybody understands the benefit of water reuse? \nFinal poster \n\nPoster New life – Revolutionizing the watercycle in Mexico City\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56135″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 3: City Blueprint of water management in Ciudad Guzmán\nCase owner: KWR Water Research Institute \nKWR Water Research Institute has developed a process and methodology to provide a water management baseline assessment of municipalities and regions. This City Blueprint® Approach is a diagnosis tool and consists of three complementary frameworks. The main challenges of cities are assessed with the Trends and Pressures Framework (TPF). How cities are managing their water cycle is shown with the City Blueprint® Framework (CBF). Where cities can improve their water governance is examined with the Governance Capacity Framework (GCF). Currently more than 75 cities in 40 countries have already been assessed with this tool. The aim of this Wetskills project is the elaboration of the CBF and TPF for the city of Ciudad Guzmán\, in collaboration with the utilities and other stakeholders. \nFinal poster \n\nPoster Everything Starts with a small step – Water Management in Cuidad Guzmán\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56137″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 4: Industrial design of rainwater catchment systems\nCase owner: Instituto Mexicano de Tecnología del Agua (IMTA) \nRainwater catchment systems are a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution to mitigate water scarcity for household use and consumption. In Mexico there are several application cases\, like the National Program of Rainwater Harvesting developed by the Federal Government to deliver water to rural communities. However\, storage of rainwater for use during the dry season is a serious problem when there are insufficient economic resources and/or lack of space for the installation of a cistern. The aim of this project is to develop a new design for rainwater catchment systems including the water storage\, with emphasis on cost reduction and an efficient use of space. \nFinal poster – Winning team!\n \n\nPoster Water Shortage Hits Schools – Generating knowledge by harvesting water\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56139″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55086″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53546″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53908″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56303″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56308″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52256″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56305″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”52155″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52155″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52245″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52243″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””]

Furthermore\, local conditions change frequently\, which impacts flow patterns for sub-critical events. While remote sensing imagery is available at an increasing level-of-detail\, local surveys remain necessary to provide the data required for a detailed digital terrain model which is essential for overland flood modeling. Current advancement in drones and photogrammetry improve the coverage and processing of local terrain surveys tremendously. In this case\, we develop and test the workflow for a drone-enhanced local flood model in a peri-urban area. With the drone we will fly the pilot-area. The resulting pictures can be used to produce a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). How can an accurate DEM be produced\, based on drone-enhanced images?And how can drone-taken pictures be processed into a video for communication purposes? \nFinal poster \n\nPoster Team No Fly Zone – Improving the accuracy of DEM\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55839″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””]Case 2: Retrofit kits\, to protect peri-urban houses against frequent flood events\nCase owner: TUBE Barrier/CORE Bangladesh \nWhile developing flood resilience at community-based level requires an ensemble of socio-technical measures\, one of the major needs in poor peri-urban communities is the development of flood proofing kits to retrofit existing houses. Although varying in size\, most peri-urban houses consist of a clay floor\, a bamboo bearing structure and galvanized steel cladding\, which makes them vulnerable to floods. As communities are poor\, this subsequently means that resources to change or adapt the housing situation are very limited; relocation is often not an option while building a more durable\, flood resistant housing type is financially infeasible. The only remaining option is to retrofit the existing houses to at least protect them against frequent flood events with limited inundation depths. The task in this case is therefore to develop proposals for flood-proofing these houses\, by developing a retrofitting kit that is effective against medium inundations\, is easy to construct\, can be applied to an existing house and is cost-effective. \nFinal poster \n\nPoster Team Retrofit – Lifting the floor to protect households from flood\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55843″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 3: A systematic approach to determine the effects of the Restoration of the Old Brahmaputra river\nCase owner: Deltares \nRestoration of the flow of the Old Brahmaputra river can result in significant social\, environmental and technical effects. The goal is to determine these effects on a primarily qualitative basis\, looking at the river from a systems perspective\, thus taking into account dependencies between various disciplines and actors. What does this restoration entail from e.g. a hydrological perspective? How can local communities along the river benefit from a restoration? What are the (changes) in the ecosystem services? And what does the restoration mean for the river system itself? \nFinal poster \n\nPoster Restoration Old Brahmaputra River and its’ Social Perspective \n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55841″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””]Case 4: Saniproofing\, design of flood-proof sanitation facilities for poor peri-urban communities\n\nCase owner: Urban Wetlands/CORE Bangladesh \nIn Bangladesh\, many peri-urban areas are exposed to floods during the rainy season\, often lasting for weeks or months. Although communities are often haphazardly adapted to these flooded conditions\, the provision of adequate sanitation is a continuing worry. Yet\, it is one of the key factors in limiting water-borne diseases that typically affect the urban poor during the wet season.  How can we design flood-proof sanitation for these communities\, as well as additional vital services (e.g. water supply) in a robust\, cost-effective manner? It should be easy to maintain\, and using local materials and construction techniques. \nFinal poster – Winning team!\n \n\nPoster Sanitation Stars – Genderfriendly Flood Proofing Sanitation System\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55845″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Blogs\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_blog_list type=”boxes” image_size=”landscape” show_thumbnail=”yes” number_of_columns=”4″ overlay_icon=”1″ order_by=”date” order=”DESC” title_tag=”h5″ display_excerpt=”1″ info_position=”top” post_info_text_transform=”none” post_info_font_weight=”700″ post_info_font_style=”normal” display_category=”0″ display_date=”1″ date_place=”over_title” display_author=”0″ display_comments=”0″ display_button=”1″ icon_pack=”font_elegant” fe_icon=”arrow_right” button_icon_position=”right” number_of_posts=”10″ overlay_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” category=”wetskills-bangladesh” text_length=”160″ title_size=”28″ title_color=”#0076b2″ post_info_font_size=”20″ post_info_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” post_info_font_family=”Montserrat” post_info_letter_spacing=”-0\,5″ date_size=”21″ box_info_padding=”40px 5px 5px 5px” button_text=”READ MORE” button_background_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” button_hover_background_color=”#0076b2″ button_border_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” button_hover_border_color=”#0076b2″][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Previous Wetskills events in Asia\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”51887\,54583\,54842\,52529\,52540″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55054″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55050″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55055″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55058″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55053″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55056″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52245″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55051″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55052″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55057″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52243″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””]About the CORE project (overall project for this Wetskills event)\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]\nCORE Bangladesh: COmmunity REsilience through rapid prototyping of flood proofing technologies\n\n\nThis project aims to develop prototypes of community-based flood mitigation and adaptation measures in specific case-study towns/neighborhoods (so-called Learning Spaces) in the Bangladesh delta\, and to develop a framework for up-scaling and integration these measures into larger flood-risk mitigation schemes. \n\nThe effectiveness of flood-risk management in The Netherlands depends on effective stakeholder coordination through governance arrangements developed over many years of coping with floods. In this research project\, we will repeat this process on a shortened time scale\, and aim to develop coordinating capabilities in flood-risk management for the urban poor in a developing country. We will initiate and support community-based innovation\, development\, production\, and implementation of small-scale technical innovations that alleviate immediate flood-related nuisance (‘wet feet’) in a town in Bangladesh\, with the aim to increase coordinating capacity for flood risk management and focus this emerging governance capacity on developing ever longer term\, severer risks\, increasing scale and more sustainable solution for flood risk management. Our research in this Learning Space addresses a major knowledge gap on how community based flood mitigation and adaptation measures both technological and institutional develop into ‘measures of scale’. This will enhance flood resiliency through demonstration and subsequent development of knowledge co-creation in collaboration with local partners and ultimately integration in flood management policies. \nJoin this Wetskills event!\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

SUMMARY:Wetskills-Romania 2019
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Wetskills was for the fourth time in Romania\nRomania has a very diverse landscape and water system\, with high mountains and the largest Delta of the European Union: Danube Delta. Romania faces challenges in water and wastewater\, in both large urban areas as well as remote rural villages\, and has a large water management experience of dealing with floods and droughts. \nAnd the country itself is inspiring and various: From the booming big Bucharest with its historic buildings and churches\, immens large People’s Parliament and the Old City with bars\, pubs as heart of the City to idillic smaller cities and villages in epic Transylvania and more low and dry Wallachia (border to Bulgaria) and the Europe’s largest bioreserve Danube Delta. \nWetskills-Romania 2019 was already the fourth one in Romania\, and was aligned to the Official Opening of the Flood Proof Romania Polder (in Facau\, 40 minutes southwest of Bucharest)\, a testing facility similar to the Flood Proof Holland in Delft. \nThe 2019 event’s theme was about ‘testing and implementing smart water management innovations‘\, with 3 cases: ‘Innovative Integrated Water Resource Management Plans taking into account drought and climate change’\, a ‘Market scan for temporary embankments to be used during floods’ and a plan for ‘Keeping Buzau river waste free & attractive for eco-tourism’. \nThe final presentations were organized at the Brigaid Conference (13 June 2019) and the winning team was announced during the Opening of the Flood Proof Romania Polder. \nThis fourth Wetskills edition in Romania was hosted by the Technical University for Civil Engineering in Bucharest. The event was partnered by Politehnica University of Bucharest\, Apele Romane\, Brigaid (H2020) project\, Romanian Water Association\, Agriculture University of Bucharest and the Embassy of The Kingdom of The Netherlands. \nImages of the construction site of the Flood proof Polder Romania \n[vc_single_image image=”54944″ img_size=”” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54942″ img_size=”” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Video of Wetskills-Romania 2019\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Practical information\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Programme Wetskills-Romania 2019 \nTerms & Conditions Wetskills-Romania 2019 \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_button icon_pack=”font_awesome” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” icon_position=”right” target=”_self” font_weight=”” text=”Attend on Facebook” link=”https://www.facebook.com/events/2007458975975366/” icon_color=”#ffffff”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Wetskills in general\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Wetskills leaflet & track record \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”55539\,55540\,55541\,55542\,55543″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]Event Cases 2019\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 1: Blue Deal drought Craiova Plain Romania inception\nCase owner: BlueDeal – Dutch Water Authorities & WBA Jiu \nRomania and The Netherlands are cooperating under the BlueDeal programme\, like in the Craiova Plain in southwestern part of Romania\, were people are facing severe drought challenges. Especially the agriculture is under pressure. An ‘Inspiration Guide’ could show innovative and economically attractive methods of agriculture\, and technical solutions of wetland- and irrigation-restauration\, to create more awareness and offer practical solutions for all stakeholders.

Peak floods cause significant damages to lives\, property\, infrastructure and lands. At the end of the summer however\, agriculture often suffers from water shortages. Romanian government (Apele Romane) is working on strategies to improve the protection level against floods. In the Dutch Flood Proof Polder several innovative entrepreneurs are testing and developing products for temporary embankments. These products aim to offer higher protection\, and be easier to install and remove\, than the traditional sand bags. However the benefits\, these products are not yet applied in Romania: how to reach this? \nFinal poster \n\nPoster Team 2 – Be safe\, Be dry – Technologies for flood protection\n\n[vc_empty_space height=”32x” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55697″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 3: Keeping Buzau river waste free & natural\nCase owner: Nehiou Municipality and Green Adventure \nThe Nehoiu area has several free-flowing rivers that have great potential for developing eco-tourism and thereby provide a stable economy. However\, the river faces several threats like plastic pollution and hydropower development. In addition\, logging is a threat to nature and increases erosion on a big scale. How can these threats be reduced and how can chances be magnified? \nFinal poster \n\nPoster Team 3 – Solution to plastic pollution\n\n[vc_empty_space height=”32x” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55698″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Partners 2019\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”52434″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52431″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52257″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52433″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”54957″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54956″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53102″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52155″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54568″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52155″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52155″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Blogs\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_blog_list type=”boxes” image_size=”landscape” show_thumbnail=”yes” number_of_columns=”4″ overlay_icon=”1″ order_by=”date” order=”DESC” title_tag=”h5″ display_excerpt=”1″ info_position=”top” post_info_text_transform=”none” post_info_font_weight=”700″ post_info_font_style=”normal” display_category=”0″ display_date=”1″ date_place=”over_title” display_author=”0″ display_comments=”0″ display_button=”1″ icon_pack=”font_elegant” fe_icon=”arrow_right” button_icon_position=”right” number_of_posts=”7″ overlay_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” category=”wetskills-romania-2019″ text_length=”185″ title_size=”28″ title_color=”#0076b2″ post_info_font_size=”20″ post_info_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” post_info_font_family=”Montserrat” post_info_letter_spacing=”-0\,5″ date_size=”21″ box_info_padding=”40px 5px 5px 5px” button_text=”READ MORE” button_background_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” button_hover_background_color=”#0076b2″ button_border_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” button_hover_border_color=”#0076b2″][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Previous Wetskills Events in Romania\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

This inspired the Dutch Wavemakers to adopt a similar model in the Netherlands and to spread it all over the world. For Shanghai\, the goals is to design and implement a program for Plastic Free Schools before the Winter Olympics in 2022. Pilot locations and ambassadors are already selected. Working with a local school\, how can the model from Hong Kong and the Netherlands be adapted to create the first Plastic Free School in Shanghai? \nFinal poster \n\nPoster Team 1 – The Road to Zero Waste\n\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55702″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 2: Synergies between climate mitigation and climate adaptation in the port of Rotterdam\nCase owner: Rotterdam Maritime Capital of Europe \nRotterdam has an ambitious climate action programme\, which aims to realise a climate neutral port in 2050. However\, climate adaptation is a concern as well; climate hazards like sea level rise\, droughts\, extreme rainfall and heat waves may affect port functioning\, and make our mitigation measures less effective. Therefore\, we are looking for synergies between climate mitigation and adaptation. What measures can Rotterdam take to reach our climate goals and increase climate resilience at the same time? \nFinal poster \n\nPoster Team 2 – Using the Sun to Cool Down\n\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55703″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 3: Water dependenties of Chinese Megacities\nCase owner: Water Footprint Implementation \nCitizens of urban conglomerates need food\, energy and water; most of which are sourced from the surrounding hinterland. In order to fulfill urban demand for food and energy\, a large water footprint is created in these rural areas\, that may lead to increased water pollution and water scarcity. Taking two of China’s megacities\, Shanghai and Hangzhou\, as example\, this case challenges you to find out how ‘water dependent’ these Chinese megacities are on their hinterland virtual water supply? And how can these megacities secure a water-sustainable future? \nFinal poster \n\nPoster Team 3 – Water Footprint – From Grey to Green\n\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55704″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”53910″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53908″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55337″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55338″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55343″ img_size=”460×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52155″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55338″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52155″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52245″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52243″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Previous Wetskills Events in China and the region\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”53617\,53624\,53621\,53618\,53616″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”54299\,54189\,54220\,53603\,53623″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

SUMMARY:Wetskills-Oman 2019
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Time for another Wetskills Challenge back in the Sultanate of Oman\, the country of Arab horses\, 3\,156 kilometers coastline\, kingfish and kebab\, fjord-like landscape (the Norway of the Middle East!)\, aromas and knives (khanjar\, no worries – now a days only worn forceremonial events). But Oman is also a country with severe challenges\, including droughts and water scarcity\, water salinity and desertification. As one of the oldest human-inhabited places in the world\, Oman now faces the impact of human development. Those challenges cannot be addressed without considering water\, energy and food as an integrated whole (nexus) and Oman is very well aware of that. Oman and the rest of the Gulf region are excelling with their WEF nexus approach and this offers a great context for our next Wetskills Challenge. \nFrom 15-25 March 2019 this new edition was organised in Muscat\, together with local Wetskills host Sultan Qaboos University. We also teamed up with the Embassy of The Kingdom of The Netherlands and Omani partners MEDRC\, PDO\, Haya water and Omani Water Society. This Wetskills event was dedicated to the Central theme: ‘Water-Energy-Food Nexus’ (also the theme of the WorldExpo Dubai 2020\, where Wetskills Foundation will be present as well). The final presentations was in line to the Celebration of the World Water Day 2019. The Wetskills program included workshops\, team building\, field trips to cases and water areas\, meetings and discussions with people in the field\, and water-related and cultural visits in and outside Muscat\, Haya Water wetlands and the PDO Museum. \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Practical information\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Program Wetskills-Oman 2019 \nPress release: Wetskills-Oman 2019 on Water-Energy-Food nexus \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]General Wetskills information\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Wetskills leaflet and track record \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]	\n		\n							\n								\n			\n	\n		\n							\n								\n			\n	\n		\n							\n								\n			\n	\n		\n							\n								\n			\n	\n		\n							\n								\n			\n	\n		\n							\n								\n			\n	\n		\n							\n								\n			\n	\n		\n							\n								\n			\n	\n		\n			\n		\n	\n		\n	[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Wetskills-Oman started with speed date discussions with water experts\, field visits and team building – and lots of opportunites for informal talks\, enjoying the old buildings and beautiful view of surroundings.\nPhoto’s row 1 | Group picture of Wetskills teams Oman 2019 | Team 5\, case Dutch Water Authorities on drought management\, in discussion with Mr Jauad El Kharraz\, director of research Middle East Desalination Research Center (MEDRC) in Muscat\, Oman | Dates\, important export product of Oman | Nakhal Fort in mountain area Oman\nPhoto’s row 2 | Hotsping near Rustaq\, teambuilding with feet in 65 °C water | Field visit to hotspring with small cascade\, enjoying and experiencing the importance of water in Oman | Water management: wadi\, with water only during heavy rain\, and a cross over road for the wadi \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Winning Team at the Awarding Ceremony\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]At the Awarding Ceremony\, the jury congratulated all teams with the teamwork and the out-of-the-box solutions they presented. The final winner was the team working on Case 2\, finding a solution for Groundwater resources management for future water resilience. \nTrue Value of Water (TVW) – Team 2 worked on a PDO case to develop a straightforward and easy to implement method to assist water authorities to better characterize and allocate available groundwater resources in the Sultanate of Oman. What they developed is method based on a single\, meaningful monetary unit\, the True Value of Water (TVW). This new method quantifies the monetary value of aquifers\, linked to costs – the value of the energy required – to desalinate water. \nRead more > \nCases for Wetskills-Oman 2019\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 1: Modular wastewater treatment units for flexible water quality improvement\nCase owner: Waterschapsbedrijf Limburg (WBL)\, developer of the Verdygo concept (The Netherlands) \nOman has a large desert area with nomadic tribes\, remote villages and oil production fields where water is scarce\, but also treatment of wastewater is a challenge. Verdygo is a new\, modular technology especially developed for flexible and cost effective water treatment. It is a design with modular\, container-sized sewage plant above ground and each container has different wastewater treatment techniques. This makes it possible to design your own modular Sewage Treatment Plant that fulfills specific needs\, is flexible and transportable. How could Vergygo contribute to improve the water quality in parts if Oman? \nFinal poster \nCase 2: Groundwater resources management for future water resilience\nCase owner: PDO (Oman) \nGroundwater is a scarce commodity in Oman. There is an urgent need to preserve it\, because of predicted water stress in the future and the potency of using groundwater for multiple uses. There are currently no clear and integrated guidelines to distinguish between exploitable and non-exploitable aquifers. How could Oman create a framework for an effective and sustainable groundwater resources management to protect the natural resources\, provide industry and citizens a reliable water source? \nFinal poster \nCase 3: Converting sludge to (renewable) energy\nCase owner: Haya Water (Oman) \nThe concept of energy from waste is getting popular across the globe nowadays. This concept is relevant in countries like Oman\, for minimization of their oil dependence. Moreover\, ‘waste to energy’ becomes a need within the new governmental vision 2040: encouraging renewable energy production. The implementation of methods at wastewater treatment facilities in regonal governarates is becoming a prominent challenge since the amount of sludge disposal is high and it poses environmental hazards. How could Haya Water create a practical model for effective renewable energy technologies of utilizing sludge and thus minimizing the dependence on electricity? \nFinal poster \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: Is it worth the water? Water sustainable Omani export products\nCase owner: Oman Water Society & Water Footprint Implementation \nOman is water scarce country\, with limited natural endowments. Water managers and policy makers should therefore closely monitor who is using the available resources and what for. At the same time\, Oman boasts a booming export sector that ships products that are proudly made in Oman to all corners of the Earth. Clearly the financial metrics look good – otherwise the products wouldn’t be sold for export. But how do these products score on water metrics? What is the water footprint of Oman’s most popular export products? What is the economic water productivity of this water that is virtually traded in exported products? How can Oman’s export become water sustainable? \nFinal poster \nCase 5: Droughts are everyone’s challenge\nCase owner: Dutch Water Authorities\n \nOman has a long tradition of coping with water stress and periods of severe droughts. They are experts in drought management. The Netherlands\, on the other hand\, is a water-rich country with a long-standing history of combatting floods and trying to keep our feet dry. They are experts in water management. Perhaps surprisingly\, the Netherlands is becoming more vulnerable for droughts too\, as the summer of 2018 showed. In their attempts to fight the effects of drought\, the Dutch applied their water management concepts and ideas that include stakeholder involvement and public participation a.o.. But does this Dutch approach work for droughts? Is water management different from drought management? How can both countries learn from each other’s historical battles with water? \nFinal poster \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”53049″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53546″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53806″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”52711″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54949″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53810″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55011″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55015″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52240″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52155″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”52155″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52257″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52245″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52318″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”53942\,52729\,53941\,53944\,54881″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]Event Blogs\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

SUMMARY:Wetskills-Kyrgyzstan 2018
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Wetskills tackles Water & Irrigation challenges in Kyrgyzstan\nThe World Bank funded project ‘National Water Resources Management Project (NWRMP)‘ in Kyrgyzstan requested Wetskills Foundation to set-up a Wetskills Water Challenge in Bishkek. This Wetskills was dedicated to the NWRMP project’s Central theme: ‘How to organize and finance the Water and Irrigation Sector in Kyrgyzstan in a resilient way for a sustainable future’. Its was not only about water\, there was a focus on irrigation as well.  \nThis first Central Asian event was organized in the green\, post-Soviet and changing City of Bishkek\, the capital of Kyrgyzstan and its inspiring surroundings. Field trips were organised to some main water and irrigation areas\, meetings and discussions with people in the field and farmers and a visit to the beautiful Ala-Archa National Park with glaciers. \nWetskills Foundation worked together with four Kyrgyz universities in the field of Water and Irrigation: Kyrgyz National Agrarian University (KNAU\, also local host of this Wetskills event)\, Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University (KRSU)\, Kyrgyz State University of Construction\, Transport and Architecture (KSUCTA) and American University of Central Asia (AUCA). \nMore information \nFor more information about participating in this event\, Kyrgyz candidates can contact Mr. Bakyt Askaraliev (local host of the Kyrgyz National Agrarian University\, abtajbakyt@gmail.com). International candidates can contact Mr. Johan Oost (johan.oost@wetskills.com) \nInformation\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_button icon_pack=”font_awesome” fa_icon=”fa-facebook” icon_position=”right” target=”_self” font_weight=”” text=”Attend on Facebook” link=”https://www.facebook.com/events/455485911610876/” icon_color=”#ffffff”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Programme Wetskills-Kyrgystan 2018 \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Wetskills in general\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Wetskills leaflet & track record \nBishkek and surroundings\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”54498\,54499\,54451\,54450\,54500″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]Event Cases\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Central theme: How to organize and finance the Water and Irrigation Sector in Kyrgyzstan in a resilient way for a sustainable future.\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 1: Financing irrigation: subsidies\, cost recovery or Public-Private-Partnership (PPP)\nKyrgyz irrigation water is cheap; it is fixed by the Government at a very low level. Farmers pay a small Irrigation Service Fee (ISF) for the irrigation water they are using. At this moment it is estimated that the ISF counts for about 20% of the current budget to manage\, operate and maintain (MOM) the irrigation systems. The remaining part of the budget is provided by the Government. The total MOM budget is far from the required budget to do proper MOM and upgrading of the systems\, leading to further deterioration of the condition of the irrigation systems. This process is already going on since about 1980\, the last phase of the Soviet era. Most of the irrigation systems are currently in need of rehabilitation. \nFor the future choices have to be made concerning financing the irrigation sector. What is a reasonable amount of money a farmer can pay for his irrigation water? What are the required budgets for MOM? How much can the Government provide? Should the Government continue subsidizing the irrigation sector? Or should there be a focus on PPP for further MOM of the irrigation systems\, like water tourism? Are there other options? \nPoster \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”57452″][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 2: Future Organization of the irrigation and drainage sector\nThe Kyrgyz irrigation sector is divided in a so called off-farm part (the main canal system) which is managed by the Department of Water Resources and Land Improvement (DWRLI) and the so called on-farm part which is managed by Water Users Associations (WUAs). The context in which these systems are managed is changing quickly\, for instance technical possibilities are increasing\, the climate is changing\, etc. In the current situation technical improvements are taken up in a very limited way. Climate change is hardly used in plans for the future\, the number of staff working in the DWRLI is decreasing and staffs are aging. More than 55% of the current staff is over 50 years old\, a large number of pensioners keep on working.  In the coming years many professionals in the DWRLI will retire and take with them all the practical knowledge. In addition\, there is a limited amount of fresh graduates and young professionals who want to work in the irrigation sector. \nWhat are the future technical and social challenges and possibilities to built up or keep a capable management of the irrigation sector? What are the skills required to meet these challenges and tap these possibilities? How should the DWRLI be staffed in 10-20 years from now and what is needed to realize this staffing (training\, funds\, recruiting\, etc.)? How can the irrigation sector attract fresh graduates and energize young professional to stay in the irrigation sector? Can you suggest improvements for the WUAs? \nPoster \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”57453″][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 3: Water Resources\, Water Use and Climate Change\nKyrgyzstan has abundant water resources. An amount of water is used in Kyrgyzstan\, but also downstream countries like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan depend on water flows from Kyrgyzstan. Due to climate change the hydrology of the rivers is going to change. Water demand is increasing. Many sectors depend on water: agriculture\, drinking water\, industrial use\, ecological use\, tourism\, etc. \nWhat are the main users of water\, and how can these users contribute to good water resource management? What is a good water resources management in Kyrgyzstan from the point of for instance water quality\, ecology\, minimum requirements of water etc.? \nWhat are the future challenges for development of the water sector\, like climate change\, water pollution\, over-abstraction\, decreased availability? What are the adaptation strategies that Kyrgyzstan could adopt to address these challenges? \nPoster \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”57455″][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: Organization of the water resources sector\nKyrgyzstan has abundant water resources. An amount of water is used in Kyrgyzstan\, but also downstream countries like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan depend on water flows from Kyrgyzstan. Due to climate change the hydrology of the rivers is going to change. Water demand is increasing. Many sectors depend on water: agriculture\, drinking water\, industrial use\, ecological use\, tourism\, etc. But they hardly contribute financially to the water sector. Water resource management functions are divided over about 10 different agencies. River Basin Management organizations are hardly in existence\, in case they exist they have very limited capacity\, power and budgets. River basin planning is hardly practiced. \nWhich options are there to (re)structure the sector so that it is managed more efficiently and sustainable? How would you manage the water sector reform process\, with staff and budgets shifts? \nWhat are the skills required to meet the challenges of the water resources sector? How many people with which skills are needed to work in the sector? How should training and recruiting be organized? From which budgets of other financial sources should these activities should be funded? \nHow should the water resources sector in the future be financed\, and how much would it costs? Subsidies\, fees\, taxes? What is further needed to build up a functioning water resources sector? \nPoster \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”57456″][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 5: Rehabilitation of schemes or new schemes?\nMost of the irrigation schemes in Kyrgyzstan are in need of rehabilitation. Deferred maintenance in the past 30 years has led to this situation. In some schemes the required investment for rehabilitation and modernization is very high. Which level of investment is still justified for rehabilitation\, should certain schemes be taken out of production? \nAn option to be considered for the future is to invest in new schemes. In such new schemes the system can be built up according to the current requirements. The existing systems were constructed in the Soviet plan economy\, which is very different from the current requirement. In the Soviet period systems were built for large collective farms\, nowadays farming units are much smaller\, but current Water Users Associations are in many cases following the borders of former collective farms. How could investing in resilient irrigation schemes in Kyrgyzstan be organized to care for a sustainable future? Should be the focus on investing in rehabilitation of schemes\, constructing new irrigation schemes\, or find a middle way? \nPoster \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”57457″]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”54509″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”54514″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54511″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52243″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”54512″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54513″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54510″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52155″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””]Previous Wetskills events\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”54374\,2327\,54370\,54187\,54116″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

To provide a playing ground for innovations in the field of sustainable and clever use of energy and resources\, LabVlieland was created. Their current quest is for an out-of-the box design of an advanced\, mobile\, integrated Shelter system – AMIES in short. Think a self-sustainable\, closed-loop resource building\, built on industrial ecology principles with the latest circular technologies that can be readily deployed where needed. \nCase 2: Self-supportive cities and islands on water & energy \nCase owner: Waternet & Province of Fryslân \nWaternet wants to increase the pace of improving sustainability in the Dutchcapital. The goal for 2020 is being climate neutral concerning CO2. If we want to have a 100% sustainable energy supply\, we have to look for other sustainable energy sources in the near future. How can water contribute to this transition? And how can we learn from self sufficient islands\, considering a city as an island? A previous Wetskills team in South Korea came up with the ‘Water Wide Web’\, building an energy network where you can store energy on different levels close to households. Waternet wants the next team to work out this idea in more detail and come up with logical solutions we can really implement in the near future. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 3: Wastewater reuse for agriculture \nCase owner: Water Application Center and Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences \nIn the Netherlands\, almost all WWTP effluents are discharched onto surface water bodies like canals and rivers. As a result of climate change\, agriculture will be confronted more and more with yield losses due to drought. The use of alternative freshwater sources\, such as treated wastewater from industries and sewage treatment plants\, can reduce drought damage. One interesting opportunity may be to combine wastewater (post)treatment and agriculture (crops / biomass growth). Under what conditions and on which scale could the reuse of (treated) wastewater in agriculture be beneficial? \nCase 4: BioBizzHub for energizing start-ups to scale up their business  \nCase owner: Paques \nWaterCampus Leeuwarden is an important driver for new business in the water technology sector\, and has facilitated the start of many new companies in the past 15 years. A crucial step for these new companies is to “scale up” and “go to market”. The new BioBizzHub is set-up for this purpose. Here\, startups can benefit from dedicated test and office facilities and the engineering and market experience of Paques. How can BioBizzHub find and attract companies from outside the Netherlands to join this initiative and benefit from the BioBizzHub. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]The Wetskills organization is looking for Case Owners; companies\, knowledge institutes and organisations that formulate their case and support this Wetskills programme and formulate a case.

Recent years Non Profit Company AquaDactics was founded to sustain training activities in the South Africa in a self-supportive way. AquaDactics’ philosophy of creating and maintaining a Pool of local Trainers and development of training material with a focus on the practice was co-created\, spread and acknowledge by various partners in the South African water sector. However it is still waiting for a spark to get this rolling. How can we create this spark in coming year? \nCase 2: Transboundary basin management: the challenge of creating a win-win situation\nCase owner: Department of Water Affairs Lesotho \nWater is one of the most important natural resources of Lesotho. The unique geographic location positions Lesotho as the ‘Water Tower’ of Southern Africa. Its wetlands sustain the perennial water flow of a.o the Senqu-Orange river system\, shared by three other riparian states: South Africa\, Namibia and Botswana. Unfortunately\, the water system in Lesotho is threatened by degradation and climate change\, and so are its downstream communities\, who are for their economic activities and water availability very much depending on quality water coming from Lesotho. How can downstream riparians influence the situation in the upstream watershed\, of which they are extremely dependent? \nCase 1: Floods and droughts: keeping the public awareness after the crisis\nCase owner: Water Authority Drents Overijsselse Delta \nWater infrastructure as dams and dikes have long protected societies from too little or too much water. Citizens are however unaware of the means necessary to achieve water security. The exception are extreme events\, when dams run empty of dikes fail\, then people are aware. As extreme weather patterns intensify and societies have become more dependent on their water resources\, it is critical to keep citizen awareness alive to reduce the impacts and consequences in case a flood or drought occurs. \nFinal poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54348″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54349″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54350″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: A YES to Water Revenue Collection with…\nCase owner: Kingfisher programme & Water Authority Rijnland \n\n\n\nPaying for water management and treatment is a real challenge in parts of South Africa. Last year approximately 160 municipalities did not paid a cent of their water bills\, although it is written in national laws that for water use and water pollution should be paid. Since the Dutch waterboards have a long- standing relation with many parties in the South-African water sector\, there may be opportunities to collaborate on the issue of ‘the polluter pays’\, and see what works and what does not in the Dutch setting that could be implemented in the South-African system\, and vice versa. From this comparative analysis\, can you think of creative ways of how more willingness can be created in both countries to have polluters (sustainably) pay for water? \n\n\n\nCase 5: Climate Scan in African Cities\nCase owner: Tauw \n\n\n\nClimate change is here to stay\, so we have to adapt. From surveys around the world (but mainly from Europe) it is concluded that people are in need of Best Management Practices (BMP) to motivate them to implement climate adaptation measures: both technical and governance aspects. International interactive open source tools (in our case www.climatescan.nl\, check it out!) are used to promote engagement with stakeholders in the field of climate change and related environmental issues. But their potential is often not fully utilised. Can you help us with the question how to promote climate adaptation specifically in Africa\, and make stakeholders implement and share their BMPs? \n\n\n\nCase 6: Avoid Day Zero due to lowering Capetonians’ Water Footprint\nCase owner: City of Cape Town & Water Footprint Implementation \n\n\n\nCape Town was suffering the most serious drought in recent years. In 2018\, the forecasts even warned for a Day Zero: the day when supply would come to an end. A large water saving campaign was (successfully) launched to lower the individual direct water consumption to almost a quarter of the normal use\, at 50 l per capita per day. However\, looking at the total Water Footprint of consumption\, this direct water use is only just over 1% of the total of 3400 l per capita that is consumed each day. The remaining 99% of the water consumption is hidden in the production and use of cloths\, food\, drinks\, transportation\, etc. Taking measures in that 99% ‘hidden’ water use may lead to lower scarcity levels in the future\, at perhaps a lower effort than for the direct consumption? \n\n\n\nFinal poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54351″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54352″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54353″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Do you also want to submit a challenge and get an out-of-the-box concept (Pitch and Poster) in one of our Wetskills event worldwide?

It is envisaged to build a detention basin in coastal plain areas\, which connects with open seas under normal conditions. When a strong rainfall is predicted and there is low tide level at open seas\, the sluice gate is closed to keep a low water level in the detention basin so that floods can be discharged into the detention basin when the strong rain comes\, minimizing the waterlogging possibility. At the same time\, the detention basin would form a buffer zone to enhance the capability against typhoon storm surges. \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]案例1：浙江省沿海平原地区的滞洪区\n案例所有者：浙江省水利水电学院 \n由于暴雨期间涨潮水位的回水效应，浙江省沿海平原地区在暴雨期易发生台风风暴灾害和涝灾。假设在沿海平原地区建造一个在正常条件下与外海相连滞留盆地，当预测到强降雨并且在外海处于低潮位时，闸门关闭以保持滞留盆地的低水位，当强降雨到来时洪水可以排入滞洪池，从而减少水涝可能性。与此同时，滞洪区将形成一个缓冲区，以增强抵御台风风暴潮的能力。 \nCase 2: (Pour) water versus soil energy\nCase owner: Westland Municipality \nIn a greenhouse horticulture municipality\, such as Westland Municipality \, both energy management and the availability of good irrigation water are essential for production of the crops. The subsurface is a source and buffer that are interesting and used for both renewable energy (with cold-heat storage) and irrigation water. But this leads to a conflict between both due to the limited capacity in aquifers. How can we use the existing aquifere capacity for both renewable energy and irrigation water in an harmonious way? \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]案例2 :(倾倒）水与土壤能量\n案件所有者：西地市 \n在如西地市这样的以温室园艺闻名的城市，能源管理和良好灌溉水的供应对于农作物的生产至关重要。地下是一个有意思的可再生能源（冷热储存）和灌溉水的来源和缓冲区。但由于含水层的储水能力有限，导致了以上两者之间有冲突。我们应如何以妥善地利用现有的含水层的储水能力来同时得到可再生能源和灌溉水？ \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 3: Adapting to climate change in Overijssel\nCase owner: Province Overijssel \nProvince Overijssel is working on becoming water robust and climate resilient in 2050. This starts by identifying the areas with the highest risk and by engaging in dialogue with the stakeholders. The challenge is to connect themes such as water\, nature\, agriculture\, energy\, mobility and spatial development in the approach. Working together with municipalities\, waterboards and other stakeholders is essential. How do we identify the biggest bottlenecks and work together in “good governance” to tackle them? \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]案例3：适应上艾瑟尔省的气候变化\n案例所有者：上艾瑟尔省 \n上艾瑟尔省正在努力实现到2050年水资源丰厚和更佳的气候适应性目标。首先要确定风险最高的区域，并与利益相关方进行对话。挑战是将方法中的水，自然，农业，能源，流动性和空间发展等主题联系起来。我们与市政当局、水务局和其他利益相关者合作至关重要。我们如何识别最大的瓶颈并在“善治”中共同合作？ \nCase 4: Integrated and standardized management platform for whole life cycle\nCase owner: Zhejiang yugong information technology co.\, ltd \n\n\n\nWater conservancy project from construction\, operation until scrap seems to be a living life\, as a water conservancy people we should manage it wholeheartedly in the whole process of its life\, with the applications of modern technology. Recently\, we developed the integrated management software system of water conservancy project construction process\, standardized operation management software system of water conservancy project\, and some kinds of optimization scheduling decision software system\, etc. How can this provide decision-making for the whole life optimization management of water conservancy project: to improve the service life of water conservancy project and benefit people for a long time! \n\n\n\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]案例4：全生命周期的集成和标准化管理平台\n案例所有者：浙江愚公信息技术有限公司 \n水利工程从建设、经营到废弃似乎都是一个生命。作为一个水利人，我们应该在其生命的整个过程中利用现代技术全心全意地管理它。 最近，我们开发了水利工程建设过程的综合管理软件系统、水利工程标准化运行管理软件系统，以及一些优化调度决策软件系统等。这些软件如何能为水利工程全生命周期优化提供决策意见，如在提高水利工程的使用寿命，从而长期受益人民！ \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]The Wetskills organization is looking for Case Owners; companies\, knowledge institutes and organisations that formulate their case and support one of the Wetskills programmes worldwide.

SUMMARY:Wetskills-Colombia 2018
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Wetskills goes Latin America for the first time!!\nYoungsters are our future… So why not let them come up with new innovative solutions to cope with actual water related problems? \nDuring the 2-week pressure cooker challenge in Cartagena\, nineteen students and young water professionals with different backgrounds\, worked together to find integral solutions for water related challenges. The eagerness and energy from youngsters is being put to the test\, to come up with the most creative and inspiring solution and pitch. \nThat is why on the 20 June\, the Colombian and Dutch youngsters started the first ever Latin American Wetskills edition in Cartagena\, Colombia. The historic port city of Cartagena is a unique location to host this event\, considering the formidable water challenges it is facing the coming decades. This edition of Wetskills is being hosted by the Universidad Technologica Bolívar and the ACODAL Congress. \nThe participants worked on four water related cases which have been brought in by several Colombian and Dutch organizations. During these two weeks they are getting intensive training on out-of-the-box thinking\, personal development and presentation skills. Their ultimate goal is to have the best solution and pitch during the ACODAL congress\, where they are judged by an international jury consisting of high level experts. \nExtreme Difficulty for the Jury\nDuring the first time Wetskills Latin America\, the jury was confronted with an extreme difficult task: select the Wetskills Water Challenge winner. The following criteria for the pitch and posters were the guidelines: Creativity / Innovativeness\, Feasibility / Applicability (technical)\, Economic Attractiveness\, Social / Environmental Context\, Presentation of “Pitch and Poster”. \nThe Wetskills jury consists of: \n\nGerardo Viña Vizcaíno\, President of the board of Directors\, ACDOAL\nJoris Jurriëns\, Deputy Head of Mission\, Netherlands Embassy in Bogota\nLaila Sukkariyyah\, Director of Global Programs\, Water Environment Federation\nKaty Lackey\, Research Manager\, The Water Research Foundation\nMauro Maza\, Associate Professor\, Universidad Technológica de Bolívar\n\nWhereas all of the jury members had a different top 4\, resulting in various winners. After almost an hour of debate\, the came to a winner…  \nWetskills Cartagena Winner\nThe winning team\, with its team name Re-Juice\, explains its idea on reducing the water footprint for a fictional fruit juice producing company in the mountains of Colombia. \nAs fruit juices are indispensable in the Colombian culture\, it is important to assure a production line that is sustainable with future climate change in sight. Mainly weather changes that cause drought pose a challenge for fruit producing companies. The solution is to guarantee a steady water supply. This is done by catching evaporated water from the air with a mist harvesting net. This fresh water can be directly used during the production process and will be added to the juice as an ingredient\, as is common in Colombia. A unique selling point is created: a juice that is 100% sustainable\, with a 100% sustainable production chain. It will be sold under the brand new name “Re-Juice” – and a message on the package of the juice will spread awareness around the water footprint. To reduce the water footprint\, the total water supply that is used during the production process must be monitored. This will be done by implementing low cost sensors at the input and output points during the production process. The measurements offer sufficient knowledge to provide a tailor made advice where the water use\, and thus the water footprint\, can be reduced during the process. \nMore information\nFor more information about Wetskills in Colombia contact either tim.van.der.staaij@wetskills.com or ralph.wesseling@wetskills.com.

It is however facing severe problems\, of which the high sedimentation rate and accompanied reduction of water surface is the most urgent. We are looking to find the best solution(s) to maintain and recover the water surface of the lake\, suited to the context of the area. \nCase 2: Water conflicts over the municipal aqueduct of Supía\, Caldas\, Colombia due to water supply problems.\nCase owner: Water Authority Rijn and IJssel (in cooperation with Corpocaldas\, Manizales\, Colombia)  \nThe catchment of the municipal aqueduct of Supía measures 11 km2. The aqueduct has a considerable hydrologic flow\, nevertheless\, domestic and agricultural uses need a lot of water and produce wastewater\, which is discharged sometimes without treatment. As a consequence\, hydrologic pressure becomes prominent in times of shortage or excess. We are looking for a series of alternatives for the distribution of the hydrologic resource under conditions of hydrologic pressures and temporary drought. \nFinal poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54424″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54425″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 3: A climate test for climate policy performance by regional water authorities\nCase owner: Dutch Water Authorities – Blue Deal office \nThe Blue Deal is a Dutch programme to develop better governance on regional water management worldwide. Climate (change) receives extra attention within this program. A new ‘climate test’ is aimed to clarify how the Blue Deal program could best support the attention for climate change within the partnerships with regional water authorities all around the world. How can such climate test show the national climate policy (adaptation and mitigation) and its practical elaboration of regional water management\, including both opportunities and obstacles? \nCase 4: Reducing the Water Footprint for Colombian’s natural juices\nCase owner: Corporación Ambiental Empresarial (CAEM) of the Chamber of Commerce in Bogotá and Water Footprint Implementation \nThe water footprint is one of the families of environmental footprints that help us understand how our production and consumption choices are affecting natural resources. A manufacturing company for natural juices has its plantations of apple and pears in template weather\, and for blackberry and tomato tree in a cold weather. Once they collect the crop\, they process the fruit and made the juices on their installations. How can the water footprint be used to get and maintain a sustainable future for this company? \nFinal poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54426″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54427″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Pictures of the event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”54264\,54206\,54205\,54265\,54276″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”54109″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”55406″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52245″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52257″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”52239″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54108″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52240″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57091″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””]Event Blogs\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_blog_list type=”boxes” image_size=”landscape” show_thumbnail=”yes” number_of_columns=”3″ overlay_icon=”1″ order_by=”date” order=”DESC” title_tag=”h5″ display_excerpt=”1″ info_position=”top” post_info_text_transform=”none” post_info_font_weight=”700″ post_info_font_style=”normal” display_category=”0″ display_date=”1″ date_place=”over_title” display_author=”0″ display_comments=”0″ display_button=”1″ icon_pack=”font_elegant” fe_icon=”arrow_right” button_icon_position=”right” vertical_align_text=”middle” date_position=”in_icon” border_around_item=”no” separator=”yes” display_circle_button=”1″ enable_circle_button_shaddow=”1″ number_of_posts=”3″ overlay_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” text_length=”133″ post_info_color=”#43dbbd” post_info_font_family=”Montserrat” post_info_letter_spacing=”-0.5″ date_size=”21″ button_text=”READ MORE” box_info_padding=”40px 5px 5px 5px” post_info_font_size=”20″ title_size=”28″ title_color=”#0076b2″ button_color=”#ffffff” button_hover_color=”#ffffff” button_background_color=”#43dbbd” button_hover_background_color=”#0076b2″ button_border_color=”#43dbbd” button_hover_border_color=”#0076b2″ category=”wetskills-colombia-2018″][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”53504\,53502\,53501\,53500″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]
