Always moving towards opportunities for positive change, I seek to educate and raise awareness from an holistic and spiritual vision. As a worker in the field of drinking water, I integrate knowledge of hydrology, soil, water quality and land use . I came to see permaculture as a positive transition option for delaying and adapting to climate change. Unconventional approaches and a flexible mind help me unwind all kinds of knots.Areas of study over the past 20 years:- soil and water management- groundwater remediation- groundwater abstraction- groundwater modelling- geochemistry- groundwater flow in chalk region (Limburg, the Netherlands)- nitrate and pesticides in groundwater- conditions in bank filtration sustaining removal of emerging substances- strategic planning of drinking water infrastructure- new sources for drinking water production (e.g. rainwater)- agriculture in groundwater protection zones- effects of drought on operation of wells- groundwater recharge reduction caused by climate change- permaculture- Buddhist philosophy- Zen practice- Aikido practice
