SUMMARY:Water Innovation Hackathon Zambia
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Follow us in the Water Innovation Hackathon!\nWe’re pleased to organize the inaugural Water Research Commission–Wetskills Innovation Hackathon. The hackathon is running virtually for four weeks\, with an in-person workshop and finals at the 26th WATERNET/WARFSA/GWP-SA Symposium in Lusaka\, Zambia (29–31 October 2025). \nIn this event we have 16 participants\, coming from South Africa\, Malawi\, Nigeria and Zimbabwe. They work in 4 multidisciplinary teams to develop real-world water solutions. Our challenges for this event focus on water hyacinth\, youth employment in WASH\,  use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, and innovative financing for water in rural communites. Follow us in this event to shape the future of water in Southern Africa! \nThe program starts with a virtual pre-workshop phase\, organised by the Wetskills Foundation and the Water Research Commission\, comprising of four weekly training and teamwork sessions held every Thursday from 2–23 October 2025\, 15:00–17:00 SAST via Microsoft Teams. The sessions will cover team roles\, action planning\, project management\, business development\, pitching techniques and technical paper writing. Throughout the virtual phase\, supervisors will guide teams as they refine collaboration and validate a concrete\, ready-to-pitch solution for their assigned case study. \nSelected participants will then travel to Lusaka for two hands-on workshops during the Symposium. The teams present their solutions at the symposium with a pitch and a poster\, and then the winning team will be announced. \nParticipants of the Hackathon\, with the Wetskills supervisors in an online meeting \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”64972″ img_size=”full”]Event info\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]DRAFT Programme WRC-Wetskills Innovation Hackathon 2025_v1 \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Terms & Conditions WRC-Wetskills Innovation Hackathon 2025 \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Follow Wetskills\nFacebookXInstagramLinkedInYouTube\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”64665″ img_size=”full” css=”” qode_css_animation=””]Joining this Wetskills Event – What do you get?\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]\nHands-on experience solving real-world water challenges as part of a multidisciplinary team.\nPractical skills development in international cooperation\, problem-solving\, cross-cultural teamwork\, project planning\, and pitching and poster presentation.\nValuable networking opportunities with fellow students\, young professionals and regional water stakeholders.\nExposure to regional water issues and stakeholders\, contemporary challenges and emerging business opportunities across Southern Africa.\nA field experience in Lusaka\, Zambia\, including attendance at the 26th WATERNET / WARFSA / GWP-SA Symposium.\nA certificate of participation on successful completion of the programme\n\nContact: Craig Tinashe Tanyanyiwa at craig.tinashe@wetskills.com and/or Johan Oost at johan.oost@wetskills.com. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Workhop and Finals in Zambia\nThe winning team was Case 2: Improving Youth’s Access to Opportunities in WASH; and the Case owner was the Water Research Commission. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Cases\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 1: Smart Management of Water Hyacinth\n[vc_empty_space height=”12px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case owner: Water Footprint Implementation (WFI) \nWater hyacinth is often viewed solely as an invasive pest\, but in the Blesbokspruit Wetland (South Africa)\, it plays a more complex role. While it clogs waterways\, harms biodiversity and affects livelihoods\, it also absorbs pollutants and may conserve water by reducing evaporation. This challenge invites participants to design an innovative decision-support tool that helps managers strike the right balance: when and how much hyacinth to remove\, to optimise water quality\, water quantity\, biodiversity\, and socio-economic benefits. Can invasive plants become part of a water stewardship solution that also creates jobs and offers opportunities within the circular economy? \nCase 2: Improving Youth’s Access to Opportunities in WASH\n[vc_empty_space height=”12px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case owner: Water Research Commission \nYouth unemployment is a pressing challenge in South Africa and the broader African continent. Transforming employment challenges into opportunities\, particularly in the water sector\, can create decent jobs and promote social inclusion. What are the existing opportunities for youth in the WASH sector\, and who are the opportunities tailored for? Identify gaps (such as skills\, awareness\, etc.) that affect the youth’s access to these opportunities. How might a multilateral approach\, including digital media and stakeholder engagement in the WASH sector championed by young WASH professionals\, serve as a driver to bridge the opportunity gap and create more jobs for youth and young professionals? \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”64974″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” css=””]Pitch & Poster – winning team! \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”64975″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” css=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 3: Water Footprint Implementation and Artificial Intelligence?\n[vc_empty_space height=”12px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case owner: Water Footprint Implementation (WFI)  \nArtificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform environmental\, social and governance (ESG) reporting and water footprinting\, through automation\, speed and scalability. However\, AI development and operation are highly energy- and water-intensive\, raising questions about whether its application in sustainability fields may be counterproductive. How can organisations such as Water Footprint Implementation engage with AI responsibly: Should they adopt it\, adapt it\, or avoid it? Participants will evaluate the paradox\, assess risks and opportunities\, and propose innovative yet realistic pathways\, that balance digital innovation with water and climate sustainability. \nCase 4: Innovative Revenue Collection for Rural Water Supply\n[vc_empty_space height=”12px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case owner: Water Research Commission \nMany rural municipalities are plagued by insufficient funding and poor infrastructure\, forcing communities to rely on potentially unsafe water sources. We require innovative revenue collection models\, using examples such as community-based water supply systems\, that can empower households to pay for quality services. We want to see the implementation of affordable\, collective payment schemes for communal boreholes and rainwater harvesting. Essentially\, we request ideas on how municipalities can unlock new sustainable revenue streams\, to improve water access\, enhance community involvement and foster local economic development\, ultimately contributing to greater resilience against climate-related adversities. \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”64976″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” css=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”64977″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” css=””]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=”64981″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”64982″ img_size=”220×120″ css=””][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””]Previous Events in Southern Africa: South Africa\, Zimbabwe\, Mozambique and Lesotho\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”]

Wastewater treatment plants offer an alternative: can treated effluent be repurposed to meet growing water demands? This challenge explores how Water 4.0 technologies – leveraging digitalization\, automation\, and decentralized water management – can enhance water reuse. Participants will develop a decision-making framework to assess effluent reuse\, considering technological investments\, water quality\, business models\, and stakeholder management. The outcome will inform training needs for water professionals and create a structured program to ensure effective Water 4.0 adoption. \nCase 2: Addressing illegal connections in water supply systems\nCase owner: Amatola Water \nAmatola Water\, a bulk water services provider\, has a Water Conservation and Water Demand Management (WCWDM) Strategy that seeks to reduce non-revenue water as part of its commitment to water service delivery assurance and ensuring both financial and environmental sustainability. Illegal connections are a significant contributor to non-revenue water\, especially in peri-urban and rural areas with no formal development plans\, leading communities to find their own water access solutions. As Amatola Water is responsible for community and household water supply\, this leads to an intractable social problem of water needs and / or service demands\, that is not being met by relevant authorities. This question has operational\, financial and water resource management implications. \nCase 3: Metal Contamination in the Berg River Estuary\n\nCase owner: Department of Water and Sanitation \nThe Berg River Estuary\, a vital ecological and socio-economic resource on South Africa’s West Coast\, is increasingly impacted by metal contamination from industrial\, agricultural\, and urban sources. Recent studies reveal concerning levels of metals such as copper (Cu)\, zinc (Zn)\, lead (Pb)\, and iron (Fe) accumulating in estuarine sediments\, posing risks to aquatic life and commercial fisheries. This case challenges participants to develop a science-based strategy for mitigating metal contamination\, while balancing ecological sustainability and economic feasibility. Solutions should focus on source control\, sediment remediation\, and long-term monitoring using innovative technologies. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”64391″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” css=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”64392″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” css=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”64393″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” css=””][vc_empty_space height=”64px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: Mapping the Journey of Solid Waste\nCase owner: Blue Deal South Africa \nIf solid waste isn’t managed properly\, it becomes an growing environmental issue\, with problems for soil\, rivers\, dams and ground water. On the other hand\, recycling of solid waste will enhance economy\, create new jobs and strengthen the sustainability of the planet. This case is about developing a so-called ‘Solid Waste Flow Diagram’ (SWFD) and pilot it on Grabouw\, a town within the Theewaterskloof Local Municipality\, with a fast growing population living in informal settlements. What information is available? Mapping the solid waste journey\, from its sources to its final end points? What actions can be derived form this SWFD to diminish the diffuse pollution to the environment and increase profitable recycling? \nCase 5: Improving Access to Water and Sanitation\nCase owner: Water Research Commission\n \nAccess to safe drinking water and dignified sanitation remains a significant challenge in many African countries\, particularly in rural and isolated areas. Some of the key challenges are water scarcity\, poor infrastructure and the lack of maintenance of existing infrastructure. Water and sanitation projects require significant investment and many rural areas lack adequate government funding to support large-scale water infrastructure development. What can be done to improve access to affordable water and sanitation for rural communities in Southern Africa in order to deliver impact at scale? \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”64394″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” css=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”64395″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” css=””][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=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61396″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53560″ img_size=”230×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53564″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57038″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57645″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61388″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”61385″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”63229″ img_size=”230×230″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””]Previous Events: Cape Town (2023) and Sandton (2022)\n\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

The unpredictable rainfall patterns and prolonged dry spells due to climate change has significantly affected agricultural activities in the city. The Urban Futures project works with young people to find innovative solutions\, through climate-smart agri-food systems\, wastewater reuse for irrigation and capacity building for youth farmers. In this challenge\, we are seeking innovative\, easy to adopt methods for wastewater reuse\, that will help promote sustainable and safe food production in Bulawayo. \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Pitch & poster – Winning team! \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”63729″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” css=””]Pitch & poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”63730″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” css=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 3: Catchment Caretakers for Sustainable Water Supply\nCase owner: City of Bulawayo (Water and Sanitation Department) \nBulawayo\, Zimbabwe’s second-largest city\, is facing the challenge to enhance the resilience against drought\, ensuring sustainable development and long-term viability in the face of escalating climate uncertainties\, by developing on an upstream approach. This case presents an opportunity to protect the catchment area where the city’s dams are located and maximize inflows to the dams. Tasked with formulating a comprehensive catchment plan\, participants are called upon to develop a plan that ensures sustainable management of the UMzingwane catchment\, safeguarding water quality\, quantity and ecosystem health while supporting socio-economic development and community well-being. \nCase 4: Industry-Focused Water Use\nCase owner: City of Bulawayo (Water and Sanitation Department) \nBulawayo primary surface water sources\, including 5 dams\, are unable to meet the escalating demand\, exacerbated by frequent droughts. Despite efforts to bolster supply by tapping into the Mtshabezi dam and extracting groundwater from the Nyamandlovu Aquifer\, the demand continues to outstrip supply. Future projections indicate a potential doubling of water demand in 20 to 40 years\, underscoring the need to urgently explore alternative water sources such as water recycling for industry use. The challenge: a plan to tackle water scarcity and water usage\, particularly for industries\, to support the city to bolster water security\, bridge the supply-demand gap\, and foster sustainable development. \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Pitch & poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”63731″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” css=””]Pitch & poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”63728″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” css=””]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=”63163″ img_size=”150×150″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”63164″ img_size=”120×150″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=””][vc_single_image image=”63677″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57038″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”63726″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”63727″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

Therefore\, it is crucial to compose a holistic landscape approach to achieve sustainable coastal protection. Building climate resiliency demands a long-term strategy that places the needs and capacities of the communities at the heart of its design. Moreover\, empowering communities goes hand in hand with safeguarding local environment and optimizing the ecosystem services. Thus\, Van Oord is striving to co-create an approach that protects the coastal landscape\, meaningfully engages communities\, and ultimately fosters socio-economic development. Please join us in reaching this goal! \nCase 2: Solutions for resilient agricultural production\nCase owner: Resilience B.V. (NL / Mozambique)\n \nResiliência Moçambique (the subsidiary of Resilience BV) is addressing the urgent challenges posed by climate change on smallholder farmers in Mozambique’s Beira Corridor. Despite favorable conditions for agriculture\, unpredictable rainfall and extreme weather events are disrupting traditional farming practices\, leading to reduced yields. Resiliência’s programs focus on improving agricultural practices\, irrigation\, water management\, and business planning for smallholder farmers. We seek innovative solutions to improve rainy season crop production\, ensuring food security and improved livelihoods for farmers. Join us in creating a resilient and sustainable future for Mozambique’s farmers. \nCase 3: Integrated approaches to flood management\nCase owner: Water Research Commission (South Africa) \nIn countries like Mozambique and South Africa\, floods caused by heavy rainfall\, riverine overflow and inadequate infrastructure frequently lead to severe threats\, loss of life\, property damage\, and service disruptions. Climate change exacerbates these risks\, causing even more frequent and severe flooding. This is due to their geographical location and extensive coastline\, the semi-arid terrain\, reliance on rainfed agriculture\, rapid urbanisation and socio-economic status. How can integrated approaches to flood management\, including watershed planning\, floodplain restoration and sustainable water governance\, mitigate and adapt to these impacts? \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: Sustainable drinkingwater supply by increasing capacity\nCase owner: Rand Water (South Africa) \nRand Water\, a key bulk water supplier in South Africa\, aims to provide high-quality drinking water to municipalities\, industries\, and other users. As demands are rising\, Station 5 at Zuikerbosch will enhance its capacity in several phases\, up to an extra 1\,200 ML/d by 2030. The project includes vital infrastructure like pipelines\, treatment plants\, and disinfection systems. Essential for averting shortages and improving efficiency\, this also requires stakeholder engagement and reduction of non-revenue water\, to ensure long-term sustainability and community well-being. How can Rand Water realize this project\, with increased capacity of infrastructure and community involvement\, to ensure a sustainable and reliable water supply? \nCase 5: Solutions to address urban flooding in Beira\nCase owner: Central Regional Water Administration\, Public Institute \nBeira is a rapidly expanding city and holds over 600\,000 inhabitants (INE\, 2017). Cyclone Idai and the severe flood in 2019\, caused extensive damage in Beira and surroundings\, and exposed vulnerabilities in the city’s infrastructure\, many of which have remained unrepaired even years later. Therefore\, innovative urban planning and development is needed\, with sustainable solutions for urban runoff and flood management\, reducing the flood risk and suffering of vulnerable areas. How can local municipalities in Beira develop innovative and sustainable solutions to address the impact of climate change and urbanization on future flooding in Beira City? \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=”63061″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”63477″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”63479″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57038″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”52315″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61396″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”63478″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61385″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”53563″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”63229″ img_size=”230×230″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”63239″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””]

Solutions exist to remediate and harvest this polluted water for the benefit of the citizenry. Yet\, the country instead spends billions of Rands securing water from neighbouring countries to meet the water demands. How can we implement local solutions for local opportunities that are more sustainable? \nCase 2: Water Security within the Green Hydrogen Industry\nCase owner: Talbot \nSouth Africa is emerging as a promising player in the global green hydrogen market with its abundant renewable energy resource potential. The green hydrogen market is projected to contribute 3.6% to South Africa’s GDP and contribute to the possibility of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Collectively\, these make for an attractive solution to the climate crisis. Water is an integral part of the green hydrogen process as the primary raw material for production. However\, South Africa is a water-scarce country with a water industry under immense pressure. \nHow can South Africa leverage sustainable water supply sources and technology to reduce its reliance on freshwater resources? \nCase 3: Business cases using Water Footprint Compensation funds\n\nCase owner: Blue Deal South Africa Partnership (Dutch Water Authorities) \nThe Water Footprint methodology\, developed two decades ago\, tracks water usage across production chains. As this methodology evolves\, the emerging Water Footprint Compensation platform offers a way for industries to mitigate their water consumption impacts. This includes possibilities like protecting and restoring water systems. NGOs\, such as DUCT or Adopt the River\, already contribute to these efforts by preserving rivers and dams. These organisations can leverage the platform to develop viable business cases. They can attract investment funds from industries eager to compensate for their water footprint\, creating a sustainable model that benefits both the environment and corporate partners. How can NGOs harness this opportunity effectively? \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: Improving Water Security By Protecting Strategic Water Source Areas\nCase owner: Water Research Commission \nThroughout the last decade\, natural disasters in South Africa have become more and more prevalent. Increased frequency and intensity of flooding have caused widespread damage in the Eastern Cape\, Kwa-Zulu Natal\, and the Western Cape. At the same time\, extended droughts have recently stifled growth in the Cape Town and Nelson Mandela Bay metros. Evidence shows that investing in and effectively managing Ecological Infrastructure (EI) could have significantly reduced the impact of such natural disasters. The WRC ecological infrastructure asset in the water sector\, Strategic Water Source Areas\, could provide a good gateway for protecting water-related EI\, but this will require careful planning to achieve in an equitable way. This case seeks to produce an integrated approach to protecting South Africa’s Strategic Water Source Areas. \nCase 5: Integrating Innovative Sanitation Technologies In School Settings\nCase owner: Department of Water and Sanitation  \nThis case study investigates integrating the innovative Larvae’d toilet system with existing WASH solutions in South African rural schools. Despite extensive initiatives\, over 3\,300 schools still rely on unsafe pit latrines\, a legacy of apartheid that continues to endanger student safety. The proposed integration aims to replace these inadequate facilities with sustainable\, hygienic sanitation solutions\, leveraging community involvement and recycled materials. This initiative seeks to enhance student health and safety and explores viable business models for suppliers and schools\, promising significant improvements in public health and environmental impact. \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=”53563″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61396″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52242″ img_size=”230×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”63236″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”57038″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57645″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”63239″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”63229″ img_size=”230×230″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”63230″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”63140″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”61385″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”63228″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”62039″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54106″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””]Events in Cape Town (2023) and Sandton (2022)\n\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=”54372\,54373\,54374\,54375\,54376″ img_size=”medium” column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]

Rand Water’s primary objective is to supply a sufficient quantity and quality of potable water to its customers\, while ensuring sustainability of water resources for future generations at the same time. However\, water boards are facing several problems to sustain their objective: water scarcity (1)\, aging infrastructure (2)\, water pollution and contamination (3)\, affects of climate change (4) and low financial returns (5). How can Rand Water ensure sustainable supply of bulk water – qualitatively and quantitatively – without incurring additional costs to the consumers while still being able to cover their costs? \nCase 2: Water Security & Sustainability for food processing\n[vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case owner: Talbot \nThe food market in South Africa has an annual projected growth rate of 4.76% to meet the needs of the country’s growing population. However\, food and beverage facilities are significantly hampered by the availability of sufficient water of good quality. They are facing problems and challenges in water supply infrastructure\, treatment facilities\, load shedding\, and vandalism complicating the facility’s water security challenges. An example of a facility facing significant challenges is a poultry processing plant located near Gqeberha\, in the Eastern Cape. How can this chicken processing plant better manage its current municipal water supply and leverage alternative water supply sources as well as technology to mitigate the impact of water on production\, food safety\, and growth at the same time? \nCase 3: Cost-effective Solutions to eradicate pit latrines in rural schools\n[vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case owner: Department of Water and Sanitation (Learning Academy) \nThere are an estimated four million pit latrines in South Africa; a toilet-type system where waste drops into a large open pit\, decomposes\, and liquids percolate into the surrounding soil\, possibly contaminating surrounding water sources. Statistics on the National Education Infrastructure Management System (NEIMS) showed that more than 5000 of the country’s 23.275 public schools had plain-pit toilets in April 2021. This is a significant problem\, particularly for small children\, as the toilets are full of dangers including the risk of children falling into the toilets. Although statistics relating to latrine-related deaths are not readily available\, another child died in March this year in the Eastern Cape\, after falling into a pit latrine. How can communities create safe\, cost-effective toilets for schools? \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Poster and pitch \nPoster and pitch \nPoster and pitch \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: Enabling beneficial use of wastewater sludge\nCase owner: Bosch Projects \nWastewater sludge is not only a growing liability to our environment and communities but is increasingly being viewed as a valuable resource. However\, many municipalities dispose of wastewater sludge in landfills or illegally waste it on adjacent lands. The beneficial use of treated municipal wastewater sludge in agricultural lands is a well-known international practice because of the sludge’s source of nutrients and its soil conditioning effect. Municipalities could promote and practice the beneficial use of sludge within the concept of circular economy principles and environmental regulations. How can municipalities align their implementation and operational plans with circular economy principles\, and consider sustainable wastewater sludge disposal and beneficial use? \nCase 5: How do organisations learn from each other?\nCase owner: Blue Deal South Africa Partnership (Dutch Water Authorities) \nBlue Deal is a partnership in which lessons learned from local projects are disseminated to other areas with similar challenges. This multiplication of results can be done by person-to-person contact\, by writing reports and sending them out\, by presenting the results in conferences or webinars\, or by creating ‘communities of practice’. However\, these types of dissemination are mainly based on ‘sending’. Organisations are not always tuned to ‘receive’ at that same moment. The question is how to improve the dissemination of results from one organisation to another. What are the key factors for success? What method is the most effective? How can the enabling environment for the Blue Deal South Africa Partnership be improved to disseminate the lessons learned to other water authorities? \nCase 6: Building resilient sanitation systems against climate change\nCase owners: Water Sanitation & Hygiene Research & Development (WASH R&D) Centre\, University of KwaZulu-Natal & Department of Water and Sanitation (KZN office) \nOne of the main challenges is climate change\, and one of its impacts is excessive weather events. In April 2022\, eThekwini (Durban) experienced severe flooding\, which resulted in over 400 deaths and displaced many individuals from their homes. Moreover\, damage to bulk infrastructure has left many communities without basic services\, such as water\, sanitation\, and electricity. eThekwini is a fast-growing city due to population growth and rapid urbanisation\, the outward migration of rural populations to the city in search of jobs and better livelihoods. As a result\, densely populated informal settlements were formed. How can eThekwini build resilient sanitation systems in these settlements while keeping climate change adaptation in mind? \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Poster and pitch \nPoster and pitch \nPoster and pitch \nEvents in Cape Town (2023) and Sandton (2022)\n\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=”61429″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53563″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61385″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61396″ 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=”54326″ 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=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”54372\,54373\,54374\,54375\,54376″ img_size=”medium” column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]

SUMMARY:Wetskills-South Africa (Cape Town) 2023
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 in Cape Town & Visit to the Ocean Race\nAgain a Wetskills Event in South Africa! Another challenging event\, for students and young professionals from South Africa\, other African countries and elsewhere around the world\, all eager to make a difference in the water sector and experience working in an international team. For this special event we visited the Ocean Race\, and all teams worked on out-of-the-box solutions for water & sustainability cases. \nNext Event in South Africa will be on 28 May – 9 June 2023! This will be an event in and around Durban\, with teamwork\, interesting field visits and a special focus on water in cities #CoCreateMYCITY – see more \nPrevious events in South Africa were in: Cape Town 2012\, Nelspruit 2014\, Durban 2016\, Cape Town 2018 and Gauteng 2022. A digital W@tskills edition was organized in 2021\, during the corona pandemic. Read more about the great finals at the WISA 2018 Conference in Cape Town in presence of Mr Gugile Nkwinti\, Minister of Water and Sanitation of South Africa\, and Mr Henk Ovink\, Dutch Special Envoy for Water. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Finals and Workshop\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”61435″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Watch the event video!\nEvent info\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Programme Wetskills-South Africa (Cape Town) 2023 \nTerms & Conditions Wetskills-South Africa 2023 \nAttend on FacebookFollow Wetskills\nFacebookXInstagramLinkedInYouTube\n[vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”61517\,61515\,61510\,61514\,61513\,61511″ img_size=”medium”]Finals & Awarding\nThe jury panel announce Team SSWEFT as winner of Wetskills-South Africa 2023 (Cape Town) in the Two Ocean Aquarium. The team worked on a case of case owner Water Research Commission. They came up with a new model to strengthen regional cooperation in the SADC region and enhance economic development using the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus. \nEvent Cases\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 1: Strengthening Cooperation and Capacity Development in SADC through WEF-Nexus\nCase owner: Water Research Commission \nThe SADC region (Southern African Development Community) is home to about 90 million people\, of which over 60% live in rural areas depending on agriculture\, only 61% have access to safe drinking water\, 39% to adequate sanitation\, and 24% of the total population and 5% of rural people having access to electricity. Although the region is endowed with abundant water\, agricultural\, and energy resources\, the distribution is uneven\, and exploitation and access are unequal\, resulting in perpetual poverty and resource insecurity. The region receives about 2\,300 km³ of renewable water resources annually\, yet only 14% is retained for use. Of this retained water\, 18% is used for domestic purposes and the rest for agriculture and industry. How can new pathways strengthen regional cooperation and enhance economic development without leaving anyone using the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus. \nCase 2: Community Capacity Development for Water Footprint Compensation\nCase owner: 11th Hour Racing Team\, Environmental Monitoring Group (EMG)\, Water Footprint Implementation (WFI) \nGlobal water resources are under pressure. Regulatory and restorative actions on the local or river basin level are needed to prevent further pressure. To respond to this need\, we intend to link water consumption for production to water compensation activities. The 11th Hour Racing Team\, EMG\, and WFI are working together in an EMG-led pilot project to determine the feasibility of community capacity building in water management as a water footprint compensation activity. How does the EMG pilot project serve as a blueprint for other community capacity-building wetland restoration projects in developing Water Footprint Compensation? \nCase 3: Solid Waste Management in Informal Settlements\nCase owner: Blue Deal South Africa \nWater is life. And this resource is under threat. Pollution due to solid waste is one of the causes. Dumping of waste alongside rivers and stream deteriorates the water quality. When discharged into sewers\, it clogs manholes and leads to overflow of the sewers. Especially in informal settlements\, due to a lack of infrastructure solid waste management is a huge task for the local municipalities. How can solid waste management be properly and sustainably be implemented in informal settlements considering the social-economic situation? \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: Sustainable Sludge Management at Rand Water Panfontein Sludge Treatment Plant \nCase owner: Rand Water \nRand Water\, the largest water utility in Africa is currently facing challenges with handling dewatered sludge – a of the by-product from its water treatment process – at its Panfontein Treatment Plant. The plant currently produces 600 tonnes of sludge per day and us quickly running out of storage place. This causes several logistical and environmental concerns. How can Rand Water optimize the sludge dewatering process and reduce the sludge time drying time to\, inter alia\, minimize the volume of sludge produced\, shorten the sludge drying time and thus reduce the cost of the process. \nCase 5: Empowering an Alumni Community for Action-driven follow-up of great ideas\nCase owner: Young Water Professionals South Africa & Wetskills Foundation \n‘Stop Talking\, Start Doing’.  That was the theme of the YWP Conference in South Africa in 2015. ‘A little Less Conversation\, A little More Action’ was the theme of the Young Water Professionals Programme of Amsterdam International Water Week 2013. Young Water Professionals South Africa and Wetskills are youth programmes which have been uniting talent for more than a decade. A lot of co-creation (like Wetskills ideas) and community building have been established in South Africa and beyond. How can WISA-YWP and Wetskills accelerate follow-up activities of fresh (WetsNext) ideas with the combined Water Talent Community in South Africa of the last decade? \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”61516\,61512″ img_size=”medium” column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]Wetskills-South Africa – some previous events\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]South African Alumni about Wetskills\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=”53563″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61429″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53560″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53564″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”61385″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61396″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57645″ 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_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”61428″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61424″ 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=”54325″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54326″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61430″ 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”]
