Bachelor\, Master\, PhD students and recent graduates worked together in mixed team on water challenges provided by organizations of the Korean and Dutch water sector. This edition of Wetskills took the participants to the nice city of Seoul and the Olympic city of Gangneung for two-and-a-half weeks\, visiting interesting and relevant water-related locations in and around Seoul and having the finals and awarding in the framework of the Olympic Winter Games. \nRead more about this spectacular and unique ‘Olympic’ Wetskills Water Challenge via our Social Media or the daily blogs (below) and publications! \n\nInformation about Wetskills programme\, our event in Korea and the results & follow-up\nFor more information\, contact Johan Oost (johan.oost@wetskills.com) and Floor van der Heijden (floor.van.der.heijden@wetskills.com) or especially for South Korean information: Jeryang Park (Hongik University\, jeryang.park@wetskills.com). \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_blockquote text=”‘Share the Passion.

They now strive for eco-friendly water management\, with sustainable and ecological river management instead of large dam constructions. K-water is increasingly focusing on finding more effective and desirable ways to use and manage the Korean rivers with the balance of traditional and cutting-edge methods. Which is also what the assigned team is asked to investigate. \nCase 2: Sustainable future: Water & Energy\nCase owners: Waternet Amsterdam and Seoul Water Works Agency \nFor 2040\, Amsterdam strives for all energy used in the city to come from renewable resources. Seoul has a similar urgent need for sustainable energy. If these cities want to have a 100% sustainable energy supply\, they have to look for other sustainable energy sources in the near future. The question is: how can water contribute to this transition? Both Waternet Amsterdam and Seoul Waterworks Authority want to contribute to achieve the goal of 100% renewable energy for both their capital cities\, the Wetskills team is challenged with the question how. \nCase 3: Creating a circular economy for decentralized wastewater systems in cities\nCase owner: Water Authority Delfland \nCities all over the world are dealing with comparable issues such as: staggering urbanization rates\, industrial pollution and climate-change. In many cases the current urban water systems show to be insufficient in dealing with these issues. It is therefore essential to start learning from each other’s experiences to create a blueprint for a worldwide sustainable urban future. The question remains: how can a decentralized wastewater system be redesigned such that it embraces the concept of Circular Economy and motivates a broad range of stakeholders to commit and engage along the process \nFinal poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”53774″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”53775″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”53776″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space height=”64px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: Turning Saline Aquifer into a Freshwater and Energy Storage System\nCase owner: Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) \nWater quality degradation in river basins and climate change are becoming a major threat to the surface water in South Korea. There is a need to shift the water resources portfolio from surface water to a groundwater-surface water integrated management system. The assigned team is asked to come up with an innovative system design\, combined with economic analysis and enhanced stakeholder engagement. \nCase 5: Islands of Innovation\nCase owner: Province of Fryslân (in cooperation with Daegu) \nThe Province of Fryslân (a province in the north of The Netherlands) and its regional partners in water innovation\, aim at the development of smart water systems for consumers. They want to stimulate and accelerate consumer oriented water use innovations. The team is asked to design a game competition for this\, focusing specifically on islands\, and along with this to develop a unique novel product\, service\, business or a combination. \nFinal poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”53777″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”53778″][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?
