This is an initiative from New Scientist and the HU University of Applied Sciences in Utrecht. During the evening, a range of scientists and experts talk about the topic of water. Roberta Hofman, a principal scientist at KWR and associate lecturer at the HU University of Applied Sciences, was one of the speakers. She was interviewed about her role at KWR, the water hotline and challenges in the domain of water quality and crisis management<span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW200459356 BCX8\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the coming years, a lot of people in the water sector will be retiring and so new blood is urgently needed. To interest more young people in the water sector, HU and KWR are developing an education and research programme that focuses on practical water issues, including a water technology minor.<\/p>\n<h2>The Water Hotline<\/h2>\n<p>During the interview with Jim Jansen (editor-in-chief of New Scientist), Roberta talked about KWR\u2019s Water Hotline. This is an emergency number that drinking water utilities can call day and night if they run up against a problem they cannot solve themselves. The water hotline allows KWR to respond quickly and, for example, open their laboratories to conduct analyses. About ten colleagues, including Roberta, have the phone with them in turns. If necessary, they can call on a broader group of experts to provide advice.<\/p>\n<p>The water hotline is a part of the Environmental and Drinking Water Crisis Expert Team (CET-md), an alliance of eight institutions that can be consulted in environmental and drinking water emergencies. The team was established eleven years ago after a major fire in Moerdijk, when KWR conducted water analyses. Since then, the CET-md has been called in for incidents such as the Wadden Sea container disaster, the Fremantle Highway fire, the Valkenburg floods, the fire in a cold storage facility near Oss, and the Bonaire oil spill.<\/p>\n<div class=\"slideshow\"><div class=\"slideshow_preloader\"><\/div><div class=\"slideshow_slick\"><div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kwrwater.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/droogte_door_klimaatverandering-780x470.jpg\" width=\"https:\/\/www.kwrwater.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/droogte_door_klimaatverandering-780x470.jpg\" height=\"https:\/\/www.kwrwater.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/droogte_door_klimaatverandering-780x470.jpg\" alt=\"droogte_door_klimaatverandering\" \/><div class=\"caption\">Image 1: Drought caused by climate change.

In part, we humans cause this ourselves by using pesticides and through discharges, as well by using medicines that enter surface water through sewers and WWTPs. Roberta explains: \u201cWe are talking about 190 tonnes of non-biodegradable pharmaceutical residues that we in the Netherlands discharge into our water every year. It will be a huge challenge to meet the WFD targets by 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The effects are exacerbated by developments such as population growth, increasing per capita water consumption, an ageing population (with the associated increase in the use of medicines) and climate change. The last of these factors is leading to periods of water shortages, which lead to higher concentrations of substances in water, peak rainfall washing away accumulated pollutants all at once, and increasing salinisation due to sea level rise and land subsidence.<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Roberta explains: \u201cWe have excellent drinking water in the Netherlands but it will be a challenge to maintain that standard in the future. We are working very hard to achieve that, both at KWR and at HU, where we are conducting research into the changes we face. Moreover, at the HU, we train the professionals who will have to tackle all the challenges in the water sector in the near and distant future. Those professionals must know about the latest technologies but they must also be able to deal with developments in ICT such as modelling and building digital twins, working with big data and artificial intelligence.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"TextRun SCXW117758337 BCX8\" lang=\"NL-NL\" xml:lang=\"NL-NL\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW117758337 BCX8\">Water treatment expressed in music<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW117758337 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335559740&quot;:255}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW113601808 BCX8\">A special moment during the Gala was the music that was played, which was composed by Roberta\u2019s son-in-law Kent Moussault.
