Designing, building and maintaining constructed wetlands for (waste) water treatment

Maasai Mara, Kenya

www.mamase.orgAn UNESCO-IHE, ECOFYT, Wageningen University & Research [WUR] & World WildLlife Fund [WWF] cooperation.Educating technical managers of the lodges in and around the conservancies in the Mara river basin how to work on waste water treatment. Teaching the ins and outs of constructed wetlands, both in theory and in practice through actually.

Constructed Wetlands are just interesting material.And the area of water-related jobs is an interesting world.So it's really a pleasure to see new generations with an ear and eye for this topic.And that's how I came to give guest lectures, now and then...

Ziway, Ethiopia

Growing roses for the European Market - in Africa - is a delicate thing. Both human development and environmental issues have to be meticulously dealt with. When I was invited by DLG, part of the Dutch ministery of Agriculture, Economical affairs and Innovation to investigate the possibilities of Constructed Wetlands for Sher in Ethiopia, I was absolutely.

Kampala, Uganda And Kisumu, Kenya

Uganda's capitol Kampala has a serious problem with waste water. A regular Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) is being built at the moment but it will take years to develop the sewer system so it can treat the waste water from a large part of the town. Until that time, waste water and storm water runs downhill to the Nakivubo channel which has basically.

Iewan is a beautiful project for many reasons. Apart from the fact that it is really a marvelous design for a housing project (Michel Post, Orio ach.), one of the things I like best about it is that it's a bottom-up situation. Where normally a housing corporation decides and builts (being certain it will be rented anyway), here an enthusiast group of some.

Egypt

In Egypt some 100,000 ton of fish is produced for human consumption. But since this country knows all too well that water is a scarce commodity, all water is being reused as often as possible. The fish farmers are at the end of the line... How can we improve the water quality and thus the food quality? Meetings with the fish farming organization, together.

Oostvoorne

A beautiful new beach restaurant rizes from the dunes at Oostvoorne, overlooking a vast scenery, all the way to Maasvlakte 2. It's design is simply stunning and the ideas behind it are Cradle to Cradle, autonomy - or should we say Autarkie, self-sufficiency... Anyway: we were asked to design and help build a constructed wetland there which we did, together.

Berkel-Enschot

What really is special about this project is the fact that we are treating waste water on a roof. At the Watertoren of Bussum, we did that too, indeed, but this stretches it way further:The constructed wetland in this case is not planted with reed or other macrophytes - but with grass. That may sound ordinary but it's far from that. The roof has a typical.

Zoetermeer

At the golf course Bentwoud (size more than 100 hectares) eventually a‭ ‬27-holes competition track will be realized, 3 x 9 holes.‭ The 18th hole opened on September 7th, 2011. The waste water on the premises is treated in a 4 cell constructed wetland of some 300 m² and the treated water will be added to the adjacent surface water. Preparations were done.

De Bussumse WatertorenIn april 2010 werd het (tot dan toe) meest duurzame kantoorgebouw van Nederland opgeleverd: de watertoren in Bussum. Het project omvatte de renovatie van de oude watertoren uit 1897 en daaraan gekoppeld een nieuw kantoorgebouw van in totaal 3500 m2.Dit initiatief werd in 2004 genomen door Michiel Haas van het Nederlands Instituut voor.

With our team of four (small) companies and four students, we managed to obtain the second prize in the contest "Sustainable Living on Water". 74 teams, 53 to reach the finals, 11 to be nominated and then being on that stage... just wonderful!Search for BeauTark at www.eatmyhouse.nl and you can see what our design is about!
