What’s new on the GRROW project page?

Take a look at the revised GRROW project page

GRROW’s project page has been overhauled recently. GRROW stands for ‘Generational Radical Rethinking of the Water Sector’. On the project page you will find new texts and the downloadable GRROW glossary. You can read about what’s new in this article.

What is GRROW?

Drinking water in the Netherlands and Flanders is very safe and reliable, but will that continue to be the case? With climate change and urbanisation, water utilities have to think about the future. To continue supplying drinking water in the long term, water utilities must rethink their current practices.
The GRROW project targets the youngest generation in the drinking water sector. With young researchers and drinking water professionals under the age of 35, GRROW focuses on the paradigms on which current drinking water science is based. And it reconsiders and evaluates those assumptions.

GRROW therefore connects young professionals with each other and with the future of the sector.

New on the project page

On the new project page you will find the model for joint design using the GRROW methodology: identification in intergenerational dialogue, followed by rethinking in a reflection workshop, redesigning in a studio workshop and interpreting the results during an intergenerational symposium and making them applicable for implementation in practice.

New download

In addition to the revised information, you can download the GRROW glossary where you can scroll through Dutch water terms with beautifully designed illustrations. The glossary explains terms that may be new to you such as aquacentrische heling and afscheidsputje. You can find the download link at the bottom of the GRROW page. Or you can click here.
