The sixth SDG relates to access to clean drinking water and sanitation. Both water and sanitation are provided to a good standard in the Netherlands, which is why in the Netherlands the focus is on water quality and the efficiency of water use. At NHL Stenden, we are committed to these issues in various ways.

At our various location, we guarantee sustainable access to water and sanitation. That is why we recently also introduced Dopper Water refill stations at which students and members of staff can easily (re)fill their reusable water bottles. These striking water refill stations monitor plastic savings on a dashboard.
‘This helps us raise our environmental awareness, implement sustainability policy and create a positive impact.’

Teaching & Research
Within our education and research, we are also looking for ways to make water technology more sustainable. The Water Technology professorship is working with Wetsus to make gains in this endeavour and a contribution is likewise made be the Waterproof Engineering minor.
