Interview at end of the journey with Mathilde de Jongh, Policy advisor, Water Board Delfland, The Netherlands September 2021 I read about EJWP on social media, and I thought it was interesting with my global focus background. Delfland in the Netherlands is my first professional job, so I was interested in learning more from other organizations in the sector: how they work and what the atmosphere is like. I was also looking forward to learning first-hand from more on-site visits to the other participating organizations, although the Covid pandemic has interrupted this. We’ve had three live Training Week visits: one here at my own organization, one at Isle Utilities in Italy a…

I’m working at the Technical University of Košice in Slovakia in the Faculty o…

I began my civil engineering career in a work-study arrangement. My first post was supporting a project manager looking after contract elements, then into project management – until an opportunity came up in 2013 with Dwr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW) for a position in wastewater networks contracts team. In the past two years, I’ve been working on a dam safety program and how businesses are investing in the future. We have a number of reservoirs in Wales that need investment to ensure their fun…
In this video from EU Green Week 2021, Jo Bacallo, who is currently contributing to EJWP content, shines a light-hearted humour to engage with experts and policy makers on the serious topic of water pollution. The video focuses on the idea that the different dimensions of our planet are ailing and complaining with human-like emotions. As a result, the question is asked: What would they say to the existing pollutants on top of all the pressures of the pandemic? In this context, Jo advocates that intergenerational and interindustry dialogues on water are more relevant than ever, and results need to be a part of our daily practices both as experts and …
