On Wednesday 21 September, several KWR researchers headed to Terschelling to take part for the first time in the Springtij Forum<\/a>. Springtij attracts professionals and students from virtually all sectors who gather to help accelerate the sustainability transitions in the Netherlands. The forum\u2019s theme this year was \u2018Staying on course in high waves\u2019. How did the researchers experience the event? And what insights did it give them? You can read all about it in this blog.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Water on the sustainability agenda<\/h2>\n

The water theme was again this year a prominent part of the event. There is even a multi-annual (2022-2024) programme, \u2018In balans met water\u2019<\/a> (In balance with water), which has been set up to integrate the water transition more fully into the future of a sustainable Netherlands. The programme is founded on three pillars: the revaluation of water, guidance by water and water sector stakeholders.<\/p>\n

The water transition was well embedded in a session by Vitens, the Vallei and Veluwe Water Authority, Evides, the University of the Arts, the Nederlandse Waterschapsbank and the Stichtse Rijnlanden Water Authority, in partnership with students of the Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences. They organised a workshop on the value paradox <\/em>in times of drought. Through the \u2018Diamond or Water\u2019 game, the participants could themselves personally experience the dilemmas surrounding water use. It became apparent, on the one hand, how choices between individual and collective action can impact the drinking water provision, while, on the other, climatic factors can have significant consequences for the production of drinking water. This production after all depends on the availability and quality of the groundwater, rainwater, surface water and wastewater. It became clear that the entire water cycle \u2013 and external actors \u2013 will (necessarily) be managed with a view to protecting ecological systems, preventing pollution, and <\/em>ensuring there is sufficient clean and safe drinking water.<\/p>\n

It was nice to see that water was also present, although more metaphorically, in the inspiring work of Carlijn Kingma<\/a> and others, in which the relationship between the organisation of our money system and the ever-growing inequality is mapped out and . There were in addition water-related sessions on hydrogen, leadership in transition in the water sector, farmers and flood waters, and the relationship between humans and nature. The sessions that did not specifically concern the water sector took the KWR researchers out of their habitual thinking environment and were, partly for this reason, seen as very valuable. Springtij is the perfect place to step away from one\u2019s own frameworks and to draw inspiration from other sectors. An additional benefit was that the event greatly stressed inclusivity and equity \u2013 which also kept the researchers very focussed.<\/p>\n

Outcome<\/h2>\n

The researchers generally experienced Springtij as an interesting event with inspiring lectures and working sessions, and opportunities for meeting and sharing knowledge with professionals from a wide range of public and private sector organisations.<\/p>\n

Springtij\u2019s unique setting, on an island surrounded by nature, offers those attending a special experience. Since, as a participant, you are removed from your normal environment, there is plenty of room for inspiration and creativity. Art and culture also play an important role at Springtij. In this context, many substantive lectures were supported for instance by the Utrecht close harmony Dekoor and singer-songwriter Nynke Laverman. In this manner, not only heads but also hearts and feelings were touched. These experiences have already generated a new exploratory research proposal in the \u2018Customer\u2019 theme group, concerning the role that art and culture can play in conveying information and bringing about change in behaviour.<\/p>\n

Will KWR also be attending in 2023?<\/h2>\n

In light of the contents of the programming, it was clear that KWR\u2019s knowledge and research can provide a valuable complement to this event. To us, our participation in the forum is therefore definitely relevant, and we would even advocate that KWR contribute to the programme by organising one or more sessions, whether or not in partnership with clients or outside colleagues. Several of our clients \u2013 Evides and Vitens \u2013 and outside colleagues \u2013 Deltares, universities \u2013 have already actively participated in the event\u2019s programming. Since drinking water issues are attracting increasing public attention, KWR cannot afford to be absent at next year\u2019s forum. After all, solving many of these issues \u2013 energy, circularity, food \u2013 calls for broad collaboration, which Springtij can accelerate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
