BSc student final presentation

Today was the final presentation of Babeth Bosma, visiting internship student from the Dutch University of Wageningen, Water Resource Management Group & Disaster Studies, Social Sciences Group. 

Babeth presented her findings from visiting and interviewing various local groups involved in flood management, such as the volunteer flood fighting teams. The topic of her bachelor thesis is titled 'Local Coping with a National and Worldwide Problem, Flood Risk Management in an Ageing Society: The Power of the Elderly. Case Study: Kokai River Basin, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan'. I have thoroughly enjoyed being her co-supervisor on this challenging topic.
