Short cv
Arjen Hoekstra (1967) is Professor in Water Management at the University of Twente, the Netherlands. He holds an MSc degree, cum laude, in Civil Engineering and a PhD degree in Policy Analysis, both from the Delft University of Technology. Hoekstra has a broad international network and visited more than fifty countries throughout the world. He has led a variety of interdisciplinary research projects and advised governments, civil society organizations, companies and multilateral institutions like UNESCO and the World Bank.
Hoekstra is creator of the Water Footprint concept (2002) and established the interdisciplinary field of Water Footprint Assessment (WFA), a research field addressing the relations between water management, consumption and trade. He was initiator and co-founder of the Water Footprint Network and served as Scientific Director until 2012. Since 2013, he sits in the Supervisory Council of the Water Footprint Network. |
Hoekstra has been teaching in a variety of subjects, including: water resources management, river basin and coastal zone management, hydrology and water quality, sustainable development, natural resources valuation, environmental systems analysis, and policy analysis. He has developed various educational tools, including the River Basin Game and the Globalization of Water Role Play. His scientific publications cover a wide range of topics related to water management and include a large number of peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. His books include Perspectives on Water (International Books, 1998) and Globalization of Water (Wiley-Blackwell, 2008), The Water Footprint Assessment Manual (Earthscan, 2011) and The Water Footprint of Modern Consumer Society (Routledge, 2013).
