 My name is Samuel Odiambo, o Tieno. I come from Kenya and currently I am doing my thesis. My area of study is urban water and sanitation, masters of science. I am specializing in water supply engineering. I think the one thing that really got to me when I came to this environment is the ability to discuss water challenges with people from different backgrounds. You see that the challenges of water are similar in a particular way but also different in a particular way from different parts of the world. Also just being able to interact with people from different countries of the world. I think this is the most multicultural environment that I have ever been. In our classroom only we were 40 students from 20 different countries. During the modules there are field trips that we went to just to ignite or to trigger the knowledge that you've learnt in class and to show you the real environment how the water treatment plans for example are working. But also we did an international field trip where we went to Spain. The trip to Spain was a three-week trip. We went to Madrid and then we went to Catahena. So in these two towns there are two things that we were looking at. We were looking at the technologies that are being implemented in water treatment and also the challenges that these two places are facing in terms of water distribution, in terms of waste management, wastewater management, water treatment, desalination plans. My thesis is quite relevant and that is for me why I chose the topic because I have a job back home as a civil engineer in charge of design and supervision of construction for water and wastewater infrastructure. So one of my topic, I'm doing a topic in hydraulic modelling of intermittent water supplies and that is one of the challenges that we are facing back home. There is no water system that is continuous. That is a water system that supplies water 24 hours a day. So basically what I'm doing right now is I'm trying to model this, to find a way of modelling this system in such a way that there is some level of equity in the system. How can we ensure that everyone has, we could call it not really equal but the amount of water that they need. The challenges of water are global. So that's one thing that I have appreciated and different people are facing different challenges and one thing I have appreciated of land is that research is very important to solving the water issues that are around the world. But that is on the technical aspect of it. On the social part of it is basically just humility. I mean, I have seen people interacting with the professors and the professors are quite helpful. And time keeping, very important. I have learnt how to keep time perfectly. That's one of the biggest lessons I have learnt in the Netherlands. The Netherlands people keep time and it has gone a long way into ensuring that things are done when they are supposed to be done.
