Every part of the globe faces water challenges. Many people don't have access to clean water or sanitation. Their lives are made more difficult by this lack of water and sanitation. This is detrimental to their health, as well as their ability to achieve prosperity. Climate change is causing more frequent and severe flooding and droughts. We at the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education work to address this. Our vision is a world without poverty and injustice where people can manage their water and environment sustainably and fairly.
IHE Delft and partners offer two Erasmus Mundus Master’s programmes. Both two-year programmes start in September 2023 and include studies at three institutions in three different countries. Full Erasmus Mundus scholarships are available for students from all parts of the world, including earmarked scholarships for students from European countries.
New research warns that plastic pollution in rivers could be a more serious problem than thought. Biruk S. Belay, an IHE Delft senior lecturer and Biruk S., an IHE Delft alumni, looked at the conventional assumptions regarding the transport of plastics in rivers. They found that this amount could be as high as 90% higher than originally thought. These new findings will help to improve water quality monitoring and reduce plastic waste.
