Saline water and food systems
Many areas in the world are experiencing high levels of soil salinity and brackish water conditions along coastal zones, for different reasons. Dealing with salinisation therefore does not consist of a one-size-fits-all strategy. Local contexts must be considered since different levels of salinity will lead to different response strategies. Attention should be paid to both mitigation and adaptation. Integrated solutions ranging from adaptation, combing and innovation such as adapting to changes in salt-fresh water systems, applying combinations of farming systems, innovation in crops and animal farming, and high-tech solutions. A background paper describes the main issues and presents some illustrative cases.
Objectives
Presenting a general overview of the trends in Saline Water & Food Systems and the need for an integrated approach. Sharing Dutch knowledge and expertise in international perspective by means of global inspiring cases from private sector, knowledge institutions and NGOs on technology, innovation, research, and advisory servies.

Scaling innovative sanitation solutions to accelerate access to safe sanitation
In the 19th century, Dr. Samuel Sarphati radically improved sanitation and health conditions in Amsterdam by transporting human waste out of the city and selling it to make a profit. With 2.4 billion people lacking basic sanitation and further challenges due to COVID-19, the entrepreneurial spirit of Dr. Sarphati is still urgently needed.
In 2021, Aqua for All, World Waternet and Accenture launched the Sarphati Sanitation Challenge to find sanitation entrepreneurs who can implement commercially viable and scalable sanitation solutions to meet the global sanitation challenge.
The SSC puts the spotlight on sanitation and the need for creativity, sustainability and private capital in the sector. The SSC strives to make tangible impact and accelerate access to sanitation for all through direct support for sanitation businesses, and implementation of winning solutions.
In this thematical session, we will explore how entrepreneurial solutions can address the global sanitation needs and highlight how the Sarphati Sanitation Challenge is working to bring innovations to market.
We will bring together actors in sanitation, finance, and innovation to explore the potentials and challenges of scaling market-based sanitation, the sanitation business case and the role of collaboration.

Marker Wadden; an integrated solution for biodiversity loss and water quality decline
Large amounts of fine sediment accumulate in some lakes, disturbing the ecosystem. By reusing this fine sediment and Building with Nature techniques, a new island group is growing in the Markermeer, a large freshwater lake in the center of The Netherlands. We will show how a nature and recreation area has been created where plants, animals, birds and fish feel at home and where people can enjoy nature. Marker Wadden is an unique project: never has excess fine sediment been used on a large scale to construct natural islands and restore the ecosystem and improve water quality. The unique character of Marker Wadden has offered us an excellent opportunity to develop knowledge. We are eager to share this knowledge with you.

Wetskills - The Netherlands 2021: Finals
Join this vibrant session where the next generation water professionals will present out-of-the-box ideas! Since 24 October international participants (both students and young professionals with a passion for water and sustainability) with a diverse backgrounds and experiences worked on out-of-the-box solutions for water and suitability challenges. The mixed and diverse teams will present their ideas in a vibrant and interactive session to an international jury panel and the audience.
The Awarding Ceremony will be organized at networking session of The Future is Water symposium.
This is the 8th Wetskills Challenge in The Netherlands, of which six were organized during the Amsterdam International Water Week, and the 51st Wetskills event worldwide. Since 2010 Wetskills Foundation organized 51 two-week Wetskills Challenge events (for young talents with a passion for water, climate and sustainability) in 25 different countries worldwide. Diverse and inclusive teams of young international talents (more than 950 Alumni) with different backgrounds co-created inspiring out-of-the-box ideas for more than 200 cases on water, climate, and sustainability, contributing to the SDGs and thus a better world.

RESILIO
Storing, retaining and managing water on roofs is growing as a robust strategy in the challenge of climate adaptation in Amsterdam. With city developers, investors, real estate managers (social housing and commercial), policy makers and innovative technical partners the concept of micro water management on private property is brought to a standard in new developments.
For the existing real estate the social housing corporations teamed up with a broad consortium in the RESILIO (UIA-funded) project to battle heat, drought and waterlogging stress. Through a public supported Decision Support System the water retention systems (“dynamic sponge”) on the privately owned roofs are managed in a optimal manner. Combining high resolution short and mid-term weather forecasts with all available local water management characteristics to a shared public and private service. The RESILIO-session shares and focuses on participation, academic research results, cost-benefit analysis and the value of a multifunctional roof ambition.
If you able to join our roof top tour we welcome you on the most versatile roof systems available with a grand view on the future!
