Urban Water Chains and Systems

This set contains 4 short videos on urban water chains and systems. Water is a basic, universal need. In this set of materials, you will learn what an urban water chain and urban water system contain. The urban water chain refers to drinking water provision and sanitation, along with necessary infrastructure. The urban water system expands upon the water chain to include five types of urban water: surface water, groundwater, drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater. Within an urban water chain and system, stakeholders manage and modify the water cycle, giving opportunity for citizens to co-create a safe and healthy living environment. Furthermore, you can learn about how politicians and stakeholders can think about long-term decision making and governance within usually short election cycles. These videos and materials will give you a baseline understanding of how sustainable solutions to water-related problems are co-created with citizens. These concepts can be applied to specific case studies and various local contexts around the world. Finally, you can apply this knowledge in a role-playing game where you attempt to set up a drinking water management system and decide between whether to organize the drink water supply as a public or private entity.

PFAS – Persistent Micropollutants in the Water Cycle

This report presents the final course material that was developed for the online learning module on persistent micropollutants – PFAS. The document can be used as a stand-alone manual to fully individually follow the entire course, from week to week. It includes the links to the video materials that were developed for the course within the project, fully integrated within the reading material. The course forms a bridge between scientists and professionals working in the water cycle. So far, the information on PFAS has been available in a scattered manner, making it difficult for non-experts to get a complete introductory overview. This course was designed to compile information on PFAS through the water cycle, from production to use and final treatment. The course is built up in an intuitive way: it starts with a general introduction on the origin, chemistry and nomenclature of PFAS; national standards and reported concentrations in the urban water cycle are presented; analytics are explained; the course concludes with technologies for separation and final destruction of PFAS. Each chapter (or week) contains written textbook material, videos and additional reading material. Development of the course has been a co-production between PROMISCES and TU Delft, as TU Delft has an extensive educational support system including a professional recording studio and an expert learning assessment system for engineering education. All materials including videos are freely available for the general public. If the learner wants the full experience of having virtual classmates, get access to all exercises and receive a certificate and credit points after successful completion of the course, one can register at online-learning.tudelft.nl. The course was developed by two environmental engineers with a professional educational background (Mariska Ronteltap and Kim Lompe). The educational videos include knowledge clips (recorded lectures in a studio), videos in laboratories, interviews with PROMISCES project partners and videos on location. To be able to follow the course a basic understanding of chemistry is required; other than that, the course is fully understandable for non-experts. Collaboration between TU Delft, Delfland Water Authority, and the EU Project PROMISCES.

The Socio-Technical Context of Kampala's Water Chain

Dr. Bas van Vliet introduces the water chain in Kampala, which is exemplary of other cities in the Global South. He will show you the drinking water system and the diversity of sanitation systems in the serviced and unserviced parts of the city. Being one of the fastest growing cities in the Global South, Kampala’s water chain is a co-production of various users and providers, and it is radically different from water chains in the Global North.

Water Hygiene in Maputo, Mozambique

The report looks into the problem of water hygiene in Maputo considering the effect of climate change and summarizes the potential solutions. The report is composed of six parts. The first part of the report describes the three main problems which are shortage and contamination of drinking water, failure of groundwater systems, and poor waste management. This part also discusses how climate change may exacerbate the problems. The second part summarizes the strategies proposed or being implemented by Mozambique’s government or international organizations. These mainly include constructing reservoirs and drainages, strengthening sanitary facilities, and enhancing resistance to cyclones. The third part provides some critical further literature to deeply understand Maputo’s adaptation and mitigation strategies. The fourth part asks five questions that readers can answer after reading this report while the fifth part provides the answers giving by the author. The sixth part challenges the readers with three more questions that intend to spark discussion among them.
