As PhD candidate in the Multidisciplinary Water Management group, I study droughts in the context of climate change. By doing this, I hope to contribute to a better understanding of drought in order to enhance drought resilience. The research is part of the DIWA project, which focuses on developing and implementing drought strategies in the Dutch-German border region.

Drought Strategies in Water Management (DIWA)
https://deutschland-nederland.eu/en/projects/diwa/
Drought is increasingly becoming a threat to both Germany and the Netherlands. The dry summers of recent years clearly demonstrate that cross-border cooperation is urgently needed. Just like water, drought does not stop at the border. The Interreg-VI project DIWA, short for Drought Strategies in Water Management, aims to develop a cross-border drought management approach that will allow stakeholders in the Dutch-German border region to face the climate developments related to drought in the coming years. The project partners are working together within DIWA to achieve better alignment between governments and area managers in both the Netherlands and Germany.
