Recent years Non Profit Company AquaDactics was founded to sustain training activities in the South Africa in a self-supportive way. AquaDactics’ philosophy of creating and maintaining a Pool of local Trainers and development of training material with a focus on the practice was co-created\, spread and acknowledge by various partners in the South African water sector. However it is still waiting for a spark to get this rolling. How can we create this spark in coming year? \nCase 2: Transboundary basin management: the challenge of creating a win-win situation\nCase owner: Department of Water Affairs Lesotho \nWater is one of the most important natural resources of Lesotho. The unique geographic location positions Lesotho as the ‘Water Tower’ of Southern Africa. Its wetlands sustain the perennial water flow of a.o the Senqu-Orange river system\, shared by three other riparian states: South Africa\, Namibia and Botswana. Unfortunately\, the water system in Lesotho is threatened by degradation and climate change\, and so are its downstream communities\, who are for their economic activities and water availability very much depending on quality water coming from Lesotho. How can downstream riparians influence the situation in the upstream watershed\, of which they are extremely dependent? \nCase 1: Floods and droughts: keeping the public awareness after the crisis\nCase owner: Water Authority Drents Overijsselse Delta \nWater infrastructure as dams and dikes have long protected societies from too little or too much water. Citizens are however unaware of the means necessary to achieve water security. The exception are extreme events\, when dams run empty of dikes fail\, then people are aware. As extreme weather patterns intensify and societies have become more dependent on their water resources\, it is critical to keep citizen awareness alive to reduce the impacts and consequences in case a flood or drought occurs. \nFinal poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54348″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54349″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54350″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: A YES to Water Revenue Collection with…\nCase owner: Kingfisher programme & Water Authority Rijnland \n\n\n\nPaying for water management and treatment is a real challenge in parts of South Africa. Last year approximately 160 municipalities did not paid a cent of their water bills\, although it is written in national laws that for water use and water pollution should be paid. Since the Dutch waterboards have a long- standing relation with many parties in the South-African water sector\, there may be opportunities to collaborate on the issue of ‘the polluter pays’\, and see what works and what does not in the Dutch setting that could be implemented in the South-African system\, and vice versa. From this comparative analysis\, can you think of creative ways of how more willingness can be created in both countries to have polluters (sustainably) pay for water? \n\n\n\nCase 5: Climate Scan in African Cities\nCase owner: Tauw \n\n\n\nClimate change is here to stay\, so we have to adapt. From surveys around the world (but mainly from Europe) it is concluded that people are in need of Best Management Practices (BMP) to motivate them to implement climate adaptation measures: both technical and governance aspects. International interactive open source tools (in our case www.climatescan.nl\, check it out!) are used to promote engagement with stakeholders in the field of climate change and related environmental issues. But their potential is often not fully utilised. Can you help us with the question how to promote climate adaptation specifically in Africa\, and make stakeholders implement and share their BMPs? \n\n\n\nCase 6: Avoid Day Zero due to lowering Capetonians’ Water Footprint\nCase owner: City of Cape Town & Water Footprint Implementation \n\n\n\nCape Town was suffering the most serious drought in recent years. In 2018\, the forecasts even warned for a Day Zero: the day when supply would come to an end. A large water saving campaign was (successfully) launched to lower the individual direct water consumption to almost a quarter of the normal use\, at 50 l per capita per day. However\, looking at the total Water Footprint of consumption\, this direct water use is only just over 1% of the total of 3400 l per capita that is consumed each day. The remaining 99% of the water consumption is hidden in the production and use of cloths\, food\, drinks\, transportation\, etc. Taking measures in that 99% ‘hidden’ water use may lead to lower scarcity levels in the future\, at perhaps a lower effort than for the direct consumption? \n\n\n\nFinal poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54351″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54352″][vc_empty_space height=”8px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Final poster and pitch \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”54353″][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?

SUMMARY:Wetskills-Taiwan 2016
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Taipei / Tainan\, Taiwan – After 20 successful editions worldwide in the last six years the Wetskills Water Challenge was organized in Taiwan for the first time. 36 Young professionals and students in the Taiwanese and Dutch water industry competed to develop an innovative concept for six case studies to create solutions for water issues in a changing world. They were mixed in six transdisciplinary Dutch-Taiwanese teams that learned from and worked with local professionals and water experts on challenging water case studies posed by the case owners from Taiwan. \nThe teams presented their out-of-box concepts during the final Workshop at the FE Water Show Exhibition on Saturday 23 July. \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_blockquote text=”‘Taiwan was present during three Wetskills editions in Amsterdam.

Yet the good performance of WRA the public was left unaware. The scale has tilted too much towards the negative side. One of the projects where WRA is world leading and proud of is the current construction of the sediment-flushing tunnel in the Zengwen Reservoir. This reservoir was built around 50’s similar to most dams in Taiwan and globally. Due to the natural conditions over time reservoir sedimentation in Taiwan is a serious problem. \nWRA is looking for innovative ways to promote its activities to the public in an easy\, modern and understandable way. A considerable plan should awake the public for the big achievements\, taking the sediment-flushing tunnel in the Zengwen Reservoir as example. \nCase 2: Robust and reliable water supply within the typhoon season\nCase owners: Taipei Water Department\, Taipei City Government \nThe water supply to Taipei Metropolis depends on upstream rivers and reservoirs. During the Typhoon Soudelor in August 2015\, the turbidity of the main water source Nanshih River became extremely high. Proper treatment of water was not possible so the Taipei Water Department was forced to shut down 3 of 6 treatment units in Zitan Purification Plan and limited the water supply. The shutdown took place 10 hours during the strike of typhoon. Citizens did not tolerate this lightly as it led to a social unrest within the city. Taipei City Hall is looking to an integrated approach for water supply during a typhoon season. It will consider the mitigation of water turbidity\, water resources management\, water cutback measures and public awareness. \nCase 3: A sustainable farming practice for food and water\nCase owner: Chi-Seng Water Management Research & Development Foundation \nTraditionally\, Taiwan was a self-sufficient country in terms of food supply. This food supply is measured in rice quantities. Nowadays\, the food pattern in Taiwan is shifting toward a ‘more western style’ with products such as bread and beef. This shift in food production requires more water supply at a larger scale. Due to recent climate change and frequent droughts the water supply for crops is under stress. Moreover the farming practice in Taiwan was a sunset industry. The average age of farmer is 62 where they are used to the traditional way of farming. The willingness to change their farming practice and to use new crops is low. There are hardly any incentive to use innovative methods to save water and attracting young people to enter this sector of work. To break this vicious circle new business cases need to be created promoting modern production chain and marketing mechanisms from a consumer perspective. It should contain incentives for farmers to change their traditional agricultural methods and attract young people to enter the farming industry. \nFinal poster \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”51993″]Final poster \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”51994″]Final poster \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”51996\,51995″][vc_empty_space height=”64px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 4: Integrated\, green and safe retention ponds in urban areas\nCase owner: Tainan City Government \nUrban areas cover the west coast of Taiwan and space is scarce. As result\, space for urban water management is under stress. In recent years\, the Flood-Prone Areas Regulation Project has improved the situation significantly. However\, the extreme climate in the recent year has caused heavy rain and severe flood more frequently. Let’s take Tainan City as an example. In the past\, most areas in Tainan were lagoons and lakes and as a result the city is mainly build on reclaimed land. Therefore\, vast areas locate at low-lying and thus flood-prone. The retention pond Ren-De in Tainan has proven that it could avoid flooding loss\, but it requires a lot of space. There are some more negative sides: the public considers it to be dangerous\, unhealthy (due to mosquitos) and ugly. A well-designed retention pond can become an attractive\, safe and green place in a city area.  An integrated plan should lead to a Ren-De retention pond that is public accepted and even liked by the people.  More importantly\, the Ren- De retention pond can benefit in the storm water management and it has a reasonable maintenance cost. \nCase 5: Restoring water infrastructure heritage for a ecology friendly city environment\nCase owner: Taipei City Government \nTaipei City’s focus is to become a greener city since the mid-nineties. Water in the city is a vital part in this philosophy. The Liugong Canal is one of the oldest irrigation channels\, which was built in eastern Taipei more than 250 years ago. With the development of Taipei City\, its function of irrigation is diminished. Different sections of Liugong Canal are either filled or used for sewerage channels.  Liugong Canal is near another historic water channel (Horikawa)\, which it was built in the Japan ruled period. Taipei City government is discussing the restoration and utilization of these channels. The integral plan of these two channels is to connect them with the water systems of the National Taiwan University’s campus and the Da-An Forest Park. It should mitigate the effect of the surrounding traffic and buildings and also has small investments and maintenance costs. Meanwhile the plan should include construction of a water landscape in the Da-An Forest Park. Last but not least\, losing the historic value of the old channels is not an option. \nCase 6: Floating buildings as Solution for climate change\nCase owner: National Cheng Kung University (Tainan) \nRecent Climate change has led to more extreme weather conditions. Adaptive water management strategies focus on flexible and integrated solutions to (1) prevent and (2) mitigate potential loss cause by those extreme weather events. The use of floating buildings is an adaptive measure that is recently gaining more popularity in the Netherlands. The question raised is: How can floating buildings become an option for Taiwan as well? Both countries have densely populated urban areas\, but different social\, geographical and water situation. Taiwan has much more precipitation\, steep mountains\, flash floods\, large water level fluctuation and hilly areas. Culturally\, Taiwanese perceive water more as a threat rather than a quality. Moreover\, floating buildings should get aligned with the belief of Feng Shui (geomantic omen). The challenge is to create a Taiwan Floating House based on potential locations (riverbeds\, old harbours\, detention ponds and fish farms)\, different types of construction technologies and environmental factors. \nFinal poster \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”51996″]Final poster \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”51997″]Final poster \n[vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”51998″][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?

SUMMARY:Wetskills Egypt 2012
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]For more than 36 years\, the Advisory Panel on Water Management (APP) contributed to Egyptian-Dutch development cooperation in the water sector. The Panel has always functioned as a think-thank and as a communication body between departments and ongoing water and sanitation projects. The Egyptian side of the panel is represented by various Egyptian ministries and the Holding Company for Drinking Water and Sanitation. The Netherlands is represented by the ministry of Economic Affairs\, Agriculture and Innovation\, Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment and the Netherlands Water Partnership. The panel will meet in Egypt during the second week of November to discuss the way forward of the Egyptian/Dutch water cooperation. Goal of the meeting is to take a decision on concrete projects for future cooperation. The Wetskills students have the opportunity make a valuable contribution to this. \nWhat is the Wetskills in Egypt about? \nThe project was formulated to offer a selection of very motivated Dutch and Egyptian students (Bachelor and Master) a unique opportunity to work together on a number of water issues. Parties of the Dutch water sector and their Egyptian partners formulated the issues. In multidisciplinary and international-oriented teams\, the students gain more in-depth knowledge on the water issues of tomorrow. \nThe teams presented their cases during a central presentation event in the Egyptian/Dutch High level panel meeting on Water Management (28 and 29 November). \n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_blockquote text=”‘It was amazing’” title_tag=”h3″ show_border=”no” show_quote_icon=”yes” text_color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#43dbbd” width=”95″ line_height=”90″ quote_icon_color=”#0076b2″][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: see manual \n  \nHost: Cairo University \n  \nPartners: Netherlands Water Partnership\, AgencyNL\, Water authority Aa en Maas\, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences\, World Water Academy \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Manual Wetskills-Egypt 2012 \n  \nEvent: Meeting Egyptian-Dutch High Level Panel for water management \n  \nLocations: Cairo\, Giza Pyramids\, Fayoum \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Facts: \nParticipants: 20 \n  \nCases: 4 \n  \nCountries: 2 (Egypt & The Netherlands) \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”52102\,52103\,52104\,52101\,52105″ column_number=”5″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]Event Posters\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=”52095\,52096\,52098″ img_size=”” column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]Event Media\n[vc_single_image image=”51255″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_portfolio_list type=”masonry_with_space” padding_between=”15″ hover_type_standard=”circle_hover” box_background_color=”#ffffff” box_border=”no” info_box_padding=”5% 5% 5% 3%” columns=”4″ portfolio_loading_type_masonry=”portfolio_one_by_one” filter=”no” show_icons=”yes” portfolio_link_pointer=”single” show_categories=”yes” category=”wetskills-south-africa-2016″ show_load_more_icon=”no”][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Event Blogs\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][no_blog_list type=”boxes” image_size=”landscape” show_thumbnail=”yes” number_of_columns=”3″ overlay_icon=”1″ order_by=”date” order=”DESC” title_tag=”h5″ display_excerpt=”1″ info_position=”top” post_info_text_transform=”none” post_info_font_weight=”700″ post_info_font_style=”normal” display_category=”0″ display_date=”1″ date_place=”over_title” display_author=”0″ display_comments=”0″ display_button=”1″ icon_pack=”font_elegant” fe_icon=”arrow_right” button_icon_position=”right” vertical_align_text=”middle” date_position=”in_icon” border_around_item=”no” separator=”yes” display_circle_button=”1″ enable_circle_button_shaddow=”1″ number_of_posts=”3″ overlay_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” text_length=”133″ post_info_color=”#43dbbd” post_info_font_family=”Montserrat” post_info_letter_spacing=”-0.5″ date_size=”21″ button_text=”READ MORE” box_info_padding=”40px 5px 5px 5px” post_info_font_size=”20″ title_size=”28″ title_color=”#0076b2″ button_color=”#ffffff” button_hover_color=”#ffffff” button_background_color=”#43dbbd” button_hover_background_color=”#0076b2″ button_border_color=”#43dbbd” button_hover_border_color=”#0076b2″ category=”wetskills-event-south-africa-2016″]Event Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”64px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”51924″ img_size=”220×125″ qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”848″ img_size=”220×125″ qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”64px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]
