Towards climate adaptive Brainport

Climate change has a large impact on the availability of water : extended draughts and flooding due to heavy rain falls will become the norm. With Rijkswaterstaat Eindhoven Engine is working on the creation of water hubs in Brainport Region. This complex problems needs a fundamental new approach.

Assignment 

Circular reuse of water in water hubs will be needed in the near future to deal with the impact of climate change. Regional water hubs have the potential to create a climate adaptive Brainport regional by using large local water generators (cities, highways, etc.) to provide the necessary water for local use. Though the idea is simple, much challenges remain on many levels : social, economical and technical aspect.

Requirements

• Ability to conduct in-depth analysis of water usage and distribution strategies, processes.
• Dependent on the background contribute to knowledge of one below:
  • understanding of the significance of stakeholders and how to create common goals
  • technical simulations of water system characteristics
  • create scenario’s of use including multiple stakeholders
