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.

SUMMARY:Wetskills-China 2018
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Back to the Wetskills roots: China!!\nThe first Wetskills Water Challenge ever was organized in China during the WorldExpo 2010 in Shanghai. Guess where we aimed to go this year as well… China!! The Wetskills Foundation invites Bachelor\, Master\, PhD students and recent graduates to apply for the Wetskills Water Challenge programme in Hangzhou and Shanghai. This edition of Wetskills will take the participants to the nice city of Hangzhou with the beautiful XiHu (West Lake). The presentations will be organized in the framework of and close cooperation with the largest water event worldwide: Aquatech China in Shanghai (31 May – 2 June). So Wetskills will stay in booming Shanghai for the last days as well!  \n \nTo all who are interested in water challenges and the ancient heritage of Hangzhou and the booming Shanghai: this is your chance! Apply now for this great opportunity to experience China and its water! \nWe are looking for local and international students and Young Professionals\, who are passionate about water and excited to work in mixed teams for transdisciplinary water solutions. Apply for Wetskills China 2018 (period: 20 May 2018 – 1 June 2018). \nWe are looking for you! Read the Announcement for Participants Wetskills China 2018. \nApplication Deadline\nSome last positions left for Chinese and international candidates (on a First come\, first served basis). \nCosts\nParticipation costs for international participants or local participants without accommodation in Hangzhou and Shanghai are 425 euros or equivalent in Chinese yuan. The fee includes accommodation\, programme costs\, supervision\, some social activities\, field trips\, working locations\, presentations by experts and the awarding event at the Aquatech Shanghai exhibition & congress. It does not include transport\, some meals\, other daily costs. Participants are responsible for their own travel expenses (like plane tickets and some local travel)\, meals during working days and other personal costs. \nThe fee for participants from China\, who do not need accommodation\, are 80 euros or equivalent in Chinese yuan\, including the above arrangements\, except for the accommodation in Hangzhou. \nDuring past editions participants often successfully arranged financial compensation for their Wetskills participation from their university or employer. We therefore strongly encourage applicants to inquire about funding opportunities to compensate the costs (university mobility funds\, travel allowance etc.). \nMore information\nFor more information about this event\, contact Johan Oost (johan.oost@wetskills.com) or Ioana Dobrescu (ioana.dobrescu@wetskills.com). \nInformation\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Registration deadlines\nSome last positions left for Chinese and international candidates \n(First come\, first served) \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_button icon_pack=”font_awesome” fa_icon=”fa-pencil” icon_position=”right” target=”_self” font_weight=”” text=”Register” link=”/wetskills-china-2018-registration/” icon_color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#43dbbd” hover_background_color=”#0076b2″ border_color=”#43dbbd” hover_border_color=”#0076b2″][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/1494853417298832/” icon_color=”#ffffff”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Programme Wetskills-China 2018 \n  \nOverview of study cases Wetskills-China 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 and track record since 2010 \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”53619\,53622\,53623″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][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: Detention Basin in Coastal Plain Areas in Zhejiang Province\nCase owner: Zhejiang Institute of hydraulics and Estuary \nThe coastal plain areas in Zhejiang Province is prone to typhoon storm surge disasters and waterlogging disasters due to the backwater effect of high tide level during torrential rain periods. 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.
