- Geschiedenis
The Dutch Delta, with the port of Rotterdam as its center, has benefited from its natural position as the mouth of the rivers Maas and Rijn for hundreds of years. This geographic situation also puts it at risk from sea level rise, flooding, and changing rain water patterns. It has been the busiest port in the world for more than half a century. It is home to industry, trade and densely populated areas. The Delta is also suffering from this success: economic growth has gone hand in hand with pollution, dispossession and inequality. In this podcast series, we start walking from the North Sea shore toward the economic, political and academic center of the Delta: Rotterdam. On our way, we collect stories, sounds, experiences from the locality and connect them to expert opinions asking: How can we keep living safe, healthy, and happy lives in an area that faces consequences of past, current and future maritime uses and challenges?

Leveraging the Past for Better Futures
In this final episode, Matteo D’Agostino interviews Eddy Moors, Director of the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education and Observer at the Netherlands National Committee for the Intergovernmental Hydrological Program of UNESCO. Eddy stresses the need for considering the past and holistic ways to look beyond mitigation of - and adaptation to - changing water patterns towards context-sensitive and water-saving solutions. His message is to shift away from top-down approaches and work together in creating and implementing sustainable solutions that address multiple values.

Two Towns in Indonesia, One on the Coast, the Other “A City of One Thousand Rivers”
At a time of globalization and strong impact of large corporations on cities and landscapes, local values require more attention.

Fairmount Water Works and its Water Stories
Welcome to the first episode of the podcast for the online course Water Systems Design: Learning from the Past for Resilient Water Futures!
Through the “power of place,” water systems can be repurposed by leveraging heritage.
In this first episode, Carlien Donkor interviews Ellen Schultz, Director for Strategic Partnerships, about her work at the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center, housed in a historical pumping station. They discuss how the historic national landmark, through active preservation and community engagement, has evolved from an icon of innovative water engineering to an exemplary hub that now serves people through public water education and capacity building programs.

Terug naar de Stad / Maritiem District
Op de Nieuwe Waterweg zie je de hele wereld voorbij komen. Maar wat merkt de stad Rotterdam eigenlijk van deze bedrijvigheid? De haven biedt banen en welvaart, maar - zo hebben we in deze serie gehoord - ook veel overlast.
In deze laatste aflevering bekijken we welke grote uitdagingen de Rotterdamse Delta te wachten staat. We spreken met Charlotte Goos van Portbase, die supply chains optimaliseert en vooral nog met data werkt - vanaf haar kantoor aan de Blaak. Anne en Mees van basisschool Müllerpier leiden ons rond over het Eiland Van Brienenoord. Deze stadsbewoners van de toekomst vertellen wat zij van de haven vinden.
Resilient Delta hoogleraar Carola Hein heeft het - op De Maeze, de boot van het Havenbedrijf - over de toekomst van de haven en het belang voor de stad. Ook twee andere hoogleraren komen nog een keertje langs: Jan Rotmans en Lex Burdorf, om hun visie te geven op de delta van de toekomst.
