I am Maurits Ertsen, associate professor within the Water Resources Management group of Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. Sustainable water management, closely associated with success and collapse of human civilizations, has become crucial given current climate variability. In all my work, I focus on the question how short-term interactions between humans and non-humans – especially water and associated agents – create the longer-term patters and processes that we observe or desire. Rather than working on one time period and/or region, my research is based on how this central theme unfolds in different settings. I study states and water in colonial history and archaeology, I work on emerging societal relations and power relations in environmental history and archaeology, and I work on the relation between humans, technologies and environment in current settings. My studies bring me to places like Indonesia, Kenya, Peru, the Ancient Near East and The Netherlands. All my activities are developed in close cooperation with colleagues from universities, NGO’s, and the private sector.
