| Use Case |
Background In his book Only Planet, Tim van Hattum outlines 7 routes to a hopeful future for the Netherlands. The book describes how the doomsday scenarios of climate change and biodiversity loss can be averted. His adventurous road map provides 7 routes to that end. Those routes invariably center on nature and require a substantial effort in which people and organizations from different backgrounds and with different short-term interests work together. The book is the impetus for this Hackathon. We have chosen a Hackathon in the Dutch delta in which natural processes drive the engineering and governments, civil society organizations and companies explore together the possibilities of using natural processes, supported by engineering, to explore adventurous and realistic possibilities for the Dutch river area.
Use case As a result of a changing climate, we are increasingly dealing with extreme rainfall or prolonged drought. This has significant consequences for water safety, drinking water supply, transportation, food production, and social and economic well-being.
During the hackathon, we will address these challenges in a multidisciplinary team, and bring theoretical models “to life” with data, analytics and visualization on geo and/or digital twinning. |

Our team is a diverse and dynamic group of experts, each bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience from their respective fields. The team composition includes specialists in civil engineering, water management, GIS (Geographic Information Systems), climate research, and data science, among others.
With years of experience in our fields, and by using SAS, open-source programming languages, and GIS for geographic mapping and simulation, we are adept at integrating diverse data sources to create comprehensive visualizations of climate scenarios and optimized water management strategies.
In our upcoming hackathon challenge, the combined expertise of our team members will be leveraged to tackle a real-world problem. By integrating theoretical models with real data, we aim to bring innovative solutions to life.
This collaborative effort will not only enhance our understanding of these critical issues but also provide actionable insights that can drive positive change. Together, our multidisciplinary team is poised to make significant contributions to solving our case, demonstrating the power of collaboration and the value of diverse expertise. |
