What do #blockchain, #NFT, #crypto, #gamification and #water have in common? Virtually nothing. The first four are usually advertised by celebrities or techies looking for ways to make more money, whereas we all use water daily and don't even know what we pay for it (but it's wildly undervalued). What about combining the digital and physical worlds to benefit a cause that ACTUALLY needs more money - access to clean water? A month ago at ukraimpulse ventures's Smart Water Ukraine event, I was able to present what Kompetenzzentrum Wasser Berlin is doing to safeguard future drinking water supplies in the SafeCREW project, into which we recently welcomed the National University of Water and Environmental Engineering in Rivne, Ukraine. Together with NUWEE and other project partners, we're looking at different treatments and methods for protecting and improving drinking water quality and drinking water distribution networks. Mykolaiv, Ukraine is taking it one step further and rethinking their water supply by using digital methods to finance reconstruction. They're calling all #hackers to sign up for the hybrid hackathon between July 22-26 for financing rebuilding efforts in Mykolaiv. If this sounds like you, you'll find more info on the Water Hackathon at Mykolaiv Water Hub (MWH) & https://lnkd.in/drdZs_dk
