Managing the Water System in Amsterdam

How are types of water linked within the water system? Which stakeholders are responsible for managing which types of water? In this video, dr. Frans van de Ven will introduce you to the pathways of urban water in Amsterdam and he will show who is responsible for managing the water and what their responsibilities are. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Explain shocks and stresses on critical services and infrastructures (CSIs) of STE systems resulting from a range of disastrous events. DURATION: 1 short video (~ 6 min long)

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.

Water-Filled Glass as a Heat Displacement System for Saving Energy in Buildings

In this recorded presentation from glasstec 2024, Brandon Mok introduces Water-filled Glass (WFG), a technology that replaces the gas in an Insulating Glass Unit (IGU) with a water layer connected to a mechanical system with a heat exchanger and pump. The core function is to manage a building's energy demand by controlling the water temperature to optimize the glass surface temperature, thereby reducing the need for mechanical heating and cooling. Studies show WFG can provide 47-72% better energy savings than double glazing and 34-61% better than triple glazing. The presentation further explores a novel concept called SEED (Saving Energy through Energy Distribution), which uses the WFG system to redistribute heat from building facades requiring cooling to those requiring heating simultaneously. A preliminary simulation for office buildings in London and New York showed that WFG alone achieved 58-72% energy savings, with the SEED concept providing an additional 10-13% in savings by balancing energy demands across different orientations. Special thanks to Messe Düsseldorf GmbH for providing the footage, and to Brandon Mok for contributing to the Open GLASSroom OER collection.

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.
