SUMMARY:Wetskills-Eswatini 2026
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]The first 2026 Wetskills: for the first time in Eswatini!\nEswatini stands at a pivotal moment in its water future. Although the country benefits from strong river systems and vital shared basins\, communities and utilities increasingly face pressures from climate variability\, recurring droughts\, population growth\, aging infrastructure\, and rising demand for safe and reliable water services. Rural areas still struggle with access\, while urban centres face challenges linked to leaks\, non-revenue water\, and the need for more resilient\, adaptive water management. \nThis is the environment and moment for the first-ever Wetskills Eswatini from 22 February to 6 March 2026\, with participants working in mixed teams on real-life water cases. The program combines field visits\, teamwork\, cultural exchange\, and the exciting finals event in Mbabane. This Wetskills programme is in close cooperation with the Joint River Basin Authorities – Project Board in Eswatini and the Blue Deal (Eswatini) programme. Follow us in ths event\, and be part of shaping the water-smart future of Eswatini and the wider SADC! \nParticipants and Finals of Wetskills Eswatini 2026\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”65296″ img_size=”full” css=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”65391″ img_size=”full” css=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Watch the compilation movie of this event!\n[vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event info\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Programme Wetskills-Eswatini 2026 (draft) \nTerms & Conditions Wetskills-ESwatini 2026 \nFollow Wetskills\nFacebookXInstagramLinkedInYouTube\nJoining this Wetskills Event – What do you get?\nA unique learning experience where you will tackle real-life water challenges with your team! \n\nYou will develop expertise in international cooperation\, problem-solving\, cross-cultural understanding\, and interdisciplinary teamwork.\nYou will hone your networking and presentation abilities through pitch and poster sessions\nYou will get the opportunity to connect with other international and regional water students/young professionals.\nYou will immerse yourself in the city of Mbabane exploring water-related sites in the city and rural areas and engaging with local water professionals.\nYou will learn and deepen your understanding of the water sector in Eswatini as part of the SADC region\, gaining insights into key stakeholders\, organisations\, contemporary issues\, and existing business opportunities.\nUpon program completion\, receive a certificate of participation\, officially joining the ranks of over 1550 Wetskills Alumni.\n\nMore information\nFor more information\, please contact Ntombikayise Dhladhla (ntombikayise.dhladhla@wetskills.com\, especially for Eswatini candidates)\, Craig Tinashe Tanyanyiwa (craig.tinashe@wetskills.com)\, or Johan Oost (johan.oost@wetskills.com). \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”65155\,65156\,65157\,65158″ css=”” 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 height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]	\n		\n						The Finals: From Ideas to ImpactBlogs\, News\, Wetskills-Eswatini 20262 months agoWetskills-Eswatini 2026 – Blog 9 – About ten days ago\, we were all strangers and we were learning each other’s names\, strangers with different backgrounds and from different countries.

Some organizations invest significantly in compliance and water stewardship\, but weak enforcement and limited monitoring capacity create uneven performance across the catchment. This shared water challenge presents environmental\, operational\, and reputational risks that cannot be solved by individual companies alone. This case challenges participants to explore collaborative\, practical\, and scalable solutions that improve transparency\, accountability\, and collective action to protect water quality in a complex industrial context. \nPitch & Poster – case 1 \n[vc_single_image image=”65385″ img_size=”600×850″ onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” css=””]Case 2: Institutional Alignment in Water Allocation and Land Use\n\nCase owner: JBRA-Project Board and Water Authority Limburg \nWater allocation decisions in Eswatini are affected by fragmented institutional mandates. Land allocation by the Deeds Office\, agricultural expansion supported by the Ministry of Agriculture\, sand mining permits issued by the Mining Department\, and irrigation developments often proceed without synchronized alignment with water availability and abstraction permits. JRBA-PB\, operating under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Energy\, seeks an innovative coordination mechanism to ensure water resource sustainability while enabling economic development. The challenge of this case is to develop an integrated institutional model that connects land\, water\, agriculture\, and sand mining decisions in a transparent and technically sound manner. \nPich & Poster – case 2 – Winning team! \n[vc_single_image image=”65386″ img_size=”600×850″ onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” css=””]Case 3: Water Footprint Compensation for Investments in Water-positive projects\n\nCase owner: Water Footprint Implementation\, JRBA-Project Board\, and Water Authority Vechtstromen \nEswatini faces increasing climate variability\, water stress\, and ecosystem degradation\, while financing for watershed restoration and resilience remains insufficient. The Water Footprint concept provides a science-based method to quantify water use and pollution. To enable verified investment in water-positive projects\, the “Water Footprint Compensation” framework was developed by Water Footprint Implementation and Act4Water. This mechanism has yet not been operationalised in Eswatini. The challenge of this case is to explore how Eswatini can creatively apply\, adapt\, or reimagine water footprint and compensation mechanisms to mobilise finance for stewardship\, strengthen resilience\, and create measurable basin-level impact. \nPitch & Poster – Case 3 \n[vc_single_image image=”65387″ img_size=”600×850″ 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=”65153″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57211″ img_size=”150×150″ 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” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53546″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”65264″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”65270″ img_size=”150×150″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”65269″ img_size=”150×150″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”65268″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”53563″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61392″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”58830″ 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 height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”65263″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”65266″ img_size=”220×220″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”65279″ img_size=”220×220″ 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” css=”” qode_css_animation=””]

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”]

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”]

DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]6th South African Wetskills Challenge!\nWe had another great event! An event for students and young professionals from South Africa\, sub-Saharan region and beyond\, who want to make a difference in the water sector\, who like to experience working in an international team and experiencing the culture of South Africa\, and who want to work on challenging water & sustainability issues! At the end of the program\, we visited the WISA Conference\, where all teams presented their ideas for an international jury panel and audience. Read on for blogs\, cases\, posters and more! \nWetskills Foundation and partners were organising Wetskills-South Africa 2022 (period: 17-30 September 2022)\, the sixth Wetskills edition in South Africa! \nPrevious events were in: Cape Town 2012\, Nelspruit 2014\, Durban 2016 and Cape Town 2018. A digital W@tskills edition was organized in 2021\, due to corona pandemic. Read more about the great 2018 finals at the WISA Conference in Cape Town\, in presence of Minister Gugile Nkwinti (Ministry of Water and Sanitation\, South Africa) and Dutch Special Water Envoy Henk Ovink. \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Participants of Wetskills-South Africa 2022\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”60056″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]South African Alumni about previous Wetskills Experiences\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 image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Programme Wetskills-South Africa 2022 (renewed!) \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Terms & Conditions Wetskills-South Africa 2022 \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Follow Wetskills\nFacebookXInstagramLinkedInYouTube\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” 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: Promoting synergy in the water\, energy and food sectors\nCase owner: Water Research Commission \nThe Water Research Commission (WRC) established the WEF Lighthouse for integrated research\, planning and development in the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus\, for South Africa and the Southern Africa region. Since 2012 the WRC R&D Branch has organized various activities under the banner of the WEF Lighthouse. The concept offers an opportunity for stakeholders\, to promote cross-sectoral\, systematic and integrated management of resources\, and address synergies and trade-offs in the WEF nexus. \nCase 2: Creating more benefits from Assessments\nCase owner: Blue Deal Programme \nSeveral assessments are performed to establish the performance of water and sanitation services\, like the Green Drop and Blue Drop Assessments on the performance\, compliance and efficiency of wastewater and water treatment works (WWTW’s and WTW’s)\, and the  Municipal Structural Self-Assessments (MuSSA). The Blue Deal South Africa Partnership aims to improve the performance of WWTW’s in several municipalities\, and disseminate the lessons learnt to other municipalities. How can the Green Drop Assessments and MuSSA-Assessments be used for a model-based replication of the Blue Deal results? \nCase 3: Empowering water professionals: the importance of training and lifelong learning \nCase owner: World Water Academy \nMunicipalities are faced with many challenges of water supply\, wastewater and urban water management.  Municipalities seem to rely more and more on administrators and finance managers\, but water engineers and operators are of great importance when it comes to critical water and wastewater management and maintenance issues. How could lifelong learning and practical training of water professionals empower engineers\, operators and managers to help improve SA’s water quality? \nPitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”60048″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”60047″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”60046″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: How to diminish the impact of solid waste on water?\nCase owner: Blue Deal Programme \nSolid waste is becoming a growing problem\, also for water. Dumping waste alongside rivers and streams deteriorates the water quality. When discharged into sewers\, it clogs manholes and leads to overflow of the sewers. Especially in informal settlements\, solid waste management becomes a huge task for local municipalities. Are there innovative ideas to persuade communities not to throw their trash ‘over the fence’? How could more environmental awareness within the communities be created and sustained? \nCase 5: Indigenous Knowledge Systems to Respond to Water Vector Diseases\n\nCase owner: Water Research Commission\n \nClimate change is leading to changing weather patterns\, which will most likely effect the occurrence and distribution of a number of water vector diseases. This might change non-endemic areas into endemic areas\, and thereby putting communities at risk. How could medicinal plants and other indigenous knowledge systems in communities be used and stimulated\, in order for communities to better adapt and cope with climate change and reduce their vulnerability to water vector diseases? \nCase 6: Safe Stormwater Use for communities near Roodeplaat Dam\nCase owner: Department of Water and Sanitation\n \nStormwater runoff is often lost into the water drainage system without being filtered\, thereby polluting surface water resources with debris. Roodeplaat Dam is an example of such a water resource\, currently polluted by debris from stormwater drainage from influent rivers. At the same time\, water availability is a challenge in South Africa\, and rainfall is more irregular by changing weather patterns. How could the Department of Water and Sanitation use the stormwater runoff as part of the current water system\, without decreasing water quality of the dam\, to increase water supply to communities? \nPitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”60045″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”60044″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Pitch & Poster \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”60043″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=””]Watch the 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”]The 2018 Programme\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=”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=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”52240″ 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=”61395″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61388″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”61390″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61391″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56312″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”61392″ 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”]

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.
