The research Thirsty Cities: Shared Water Heritage in the Small Island States of the Dutch Caribbean was presented on The International LDE Heritage Conference 2019 on Heritage and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). My article investigates the typologies of vernacular and historical fresh watermanagement systems and their potential for water security.

The conference took place in November 2019 at TU Delft, in the Netherlands. It was organized in collaboration with the TU Delft, the LDE Center for Global Heritage and Development (CGHD), the universities of Leiden, Delft and Rotterdam and with other consortium and international partners.
