In the past hydrological year (1 April \u2013 1 October 2025), the Netherlands faced a precipitation deficit of approximately 200 to 250 mm. Using water more efficiently is therefore no longer an option but a necessity. This situation closely resembles that of Southern European countries such as Spain, Italy, and Portugal, where agriculture accounts for more than 70% of water use. Thanks to years of experience with drought and water reuse, these countries offer inspiring examples of smarter irrigation, circular water management, and digital monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like in the Netherlands, these focus countries also present great opportunities for the Dutch water sector to offer innovative technological solutions for challenges such as salinization, soil quality, and water reuse. By forming new consortia or expanding existing collaborations, we can take the next step towards future-proof water systems \u2013 both in the Netherlands and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Date<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tuesday, 11 November 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>11:30 AM \u2013 5:00 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Location<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WaterCampus<br>Agora 4, 8934 CJ, Leeuwarden<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Programme<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11:30 \u2013 Registration and welcome<\/strong><br>Introduction to WaterCampus and Water Alliance, followed by a short round of participant introductions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12:00 \u2013 Networking lunch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13:00 \u2013 National and European funding for collaboration<\/strong> <em>(in English)<\/em><br><em>Suraj Jamge (Netherlands Enterprise Agency \u2013 RVO)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13:15 \u2013 Smart water use and irrigation networks in Spain<\/strong><br><em>Tijmen Dekkers (Deltae Innovation Solutions B.V.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13:30 \u2013 Presentations and initiatives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13:30 \u2013 Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences \u2013 Freshwater availability in times of climate change: interaction between water systems and technology<\/strong><br><em>Peter van der Maas (Professor of Applied Sciences \u2013 Sustainable Water Systems)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>14:00 \u2013 Wetsus Agri Initiative \u2013 Research on agriculture and circularity within Wetsus<\/strong><br><em>Chris Schott (Scientific Project Manager, Agriculture &amp; Circularity)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>14:30 \u2013 SALTA \u2013 Dutch knowledge cluster promoting collaboration on freshwater availability, salinization, and soil quality, with an international perspective<\/strong><br><em>Peter Prins (CEO)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15:00 \u2013 Water Board Brabantse Delta \u2013 Project \u2018Water in Balance\u2019<\/strong><br><em>Klaas-Jan Douben (Senior Hydrologist)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15:30 \u2013 Wrap-up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15:45 \u2013 Guided tour of the WaterCampus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>17:00 \u2013 Closing &amp; end<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who should attend?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Water &amp; Agri Day<\/strong> focuses on the <strong>water technology sector<\/strong>, with special attention to applications in <strong>arable and horticultural farming<\/strong>, and to <strong>companies and organizations that are internationally active or wish to share and exchange international knowledge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key themes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Efficient and sustainable water use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salinization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Irrigation and soil management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wastewater treatment and reuse in the agri sector<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Join us!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you ready to explore the market potential, challenges, and opportunities at the intersection of water and agri?
