SUMMARY:Wetskills-México 2019
DESCRIPTION:About The Event\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]For the first time in México!\nWetskills was organizing its first Water Challenge in México City! The programme started on August 26\, and the finals were aligned to the largest water event in México: Aquatech (3-5 September 2019). The event was hosted by the Universidad Panamericana. \nThe Wetskills formula: students and recent graduates are working together in international\, multidisciplinairy teams in a 2-weeks program\, to find creative solutions for real-life water cases. \nTeam 4 was the winning team\, with their plan for a rainwater catchment system and water storage facility\, to solve the problem of water shortages at schools. Case owner: Instituto Mexicano de Tecnología del Agua (IMTA). \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Information\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Programme Wetskills-Mexico 2019 \nTerms & Conditions Wetskills-Mexico 2019 \n[vc_empty_space 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/330880010874777/” icon_color=”#ffffff”][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 & Track record since 2010 \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”56149\,56150\,56151\,56152″ img_size=”medium” column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”55994\,55995\,55992\,55993″ column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”54008\,54010\,54007\,54006″ column_number=”4″ grayscale=”no” hover_icon=”none” images_space=”gallery_with_space”]Event Blogs Mexico 2019\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=”4″ 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” text_length=”200″ number_of_posts=”8″ overlay_color=”rgba(0\,221\,207\,0.59)” category=”wetskills-mexico-2019″ title_size=”28″ title_color=”#0076b2″ post_info_font_size=”20″ post_info_color=”#43dbbd” post_info_font_family=”Montserrat” post_info_letter_spacing=”-0\,5″ date_size=”21″ box_info_padding=”40px 5px 5px 5px” button_text=”READ MORE” button_background_color=”#43dbbd” button_hover_background_color=”#0076b2″ button_border_color=”#43dbbd” button_hover_border_color=”#0076b2″]Event Cases\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 1: Lowering plastic bottles consumption in Mexico\nCase owner: Pure Water Technology (Mexico) \nBottled water covers a large source of drinking water. Mexico is number one in the use of bottled water per capita\, and not all bottles are recycled. 99% of the costs for a water bottle are to cover the costs of the (usually plastic) bottle\, advertising and transportation. Recycling of bottles is a good practice\, which creates some money\, but it does not solve the problem on the long term. Could we use this money for creating another way of drinking water provision\, with water as a basic good\, creating less pollution? \nFinal poster \n\nPoster Plastic off\, tap water on – Reusable Water bottles\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56133″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 2: Water Reuse Decision Support System (WAREDESS) \nCase owner: King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)\n \nWater reuse – the use of treated wastewater – is an obvious way to alleviate water stress in water scarce regions. Globally\, still 80% of wastewater flows back into the ecosystem without being treated or reused. Water reuse has a huge potential to provide water for drinking\, irrigation\, or industrial uses\, but many factors limit the implementation. Technical and financial challenges can be solved\, but is the public ready to accept it? And what do we need to know/do so that everybody understands the benefit of water reuse? \nFinal poster \n\nPoster New life – Revolutionizing the watercycle in Mexico City\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56135″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 3: City Blueprint of water management in Ciudad Guzmán\nCase owner: KWR Water Research Institute \nKWR Water Research Institute has developed a process and methodology to provide a water management baseline assessment of municipalities and regions. This City Blueprint® Approach is a diagnosis tool and consists of three complementary frameworks. The main challenges of cities are assessed with the Trends and Pressures Framework (TPF). How cities are managing their water cycle is shown with the City Blueprint® Framework (CBF). Where cities can improve their water governance is examined with the Governance Capacity Framework (GCF). Currently more than 75 cities in 40 countries have already been assessed with this tool. The aim of this Wetskills project is the elaboration of the CBF and TPF for the city of Ciudad Guzmán\, in collaboration with the utilities and other stakeholders. \nFinal poster \n\nPoster Everything Starts with a small step – Water Management in Cuidad Guzmán\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56137″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””]Case 4: Industrial design of rainwater catchment systems\nCase owner: Instituto Mexicano de Tecnología del Agua (IMTA) \nRainwater catchment systems are a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution to mitigate water scarcity for household use and consumption. In Mexico there are several application cases\, like the National Program of Rainwater Harvesting developed by the Federal Government to deliver water to rural communities. However\, storage of rainwater for use during the dry season is a serious problem when there are insufficient economic resources and/or lack of space for the installation of a cistern. The aim of this project is to develop a new design for rainwater catchment systems including the water storage\, with emphasis on cost reduction and an efficient use of space. \nFinal poster – Winning team!\n \n\nPoster Water Shortage Hits Schools – Generating knowledge by harvesting water\n\n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”56139″ 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=”55086″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53546″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53908″ 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=”56303″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56308″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52256″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”56305″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”52155″ 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=”52245″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52243″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””]
