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! See below for the posters of all teams. \nThis Wetskills event was organised back to back with the Tech Summit in Delhi on 15 and 16 October 2019.  The Tech Summit is a high-level event focusing on water\, agriculture\, health and ICT\, with experts and high-level audience from business\, government and knowledge institutes. \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56624″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Video of Wetskills-India Delhi 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 (Delhi) 2019 \nAnnouncement for Participants Wetskills-India (Delhi) 2019 \nTerms & Conditions Wetskills-India (Delhi) 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/409012119824464/” icon_color=”#ffffff”][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=”56625\,56623\,56627\,56626\,56628″ 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”]This Wetskills Water Challenge about the Wetlab of the Barapullah Drain is organised by Wetskills Foundation\, Department of Biotechnology (DBT)\, Ministry of Science and Technology\, Govt of India through Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC)\, A Government of India Enterprise and is supported by case owners RVO (Netherlands Enterprise Agency) and The Embassy of The Kingdom of The Netherlands in Delhi. 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=””]
