RUVIVAL Community Forum
The forum is named after you: RUVIVAL Community! It is dedicated to all people who are interested in reviving the rural, who participated in our Simulation Game, our lectures at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), created e-learning contents for RUVIVAL or worked together with us. You, dear reader can join us – even if you are new here! Share your ideas, knowledge and experiences with us. You can connect to others online, create new e-learning material or ask for consultation of your project. This is your chance to take active part – and it matters to us. We can achieve more as a worldwide community! Let us revive the rural together and join us in the forum.
Categories of the Forum
The forum is divided into several parts, so-called categories. We will start the discussion in one category and will release further categories in the future.
The first category to discuss is called Add Material. Here you can contribute with your ideas or pictures to existing RUVIVAL material. We invite you to discuss and further develop the Rainwater Harvesting Toolbox with us. We collect your ideas, pictures and experience to extend the contents. You can be part of this interconnected and synergetic knowledge production.
Click here to open the category Add Material.
This category is called Writers Corner. It is all about literature as our current working papers are discussed there. You can add your comments and ideas as well as discuss with others online. Your contributions are taken into account before the final publication of a working paper in the RUVIVAL Publication Series.

The Translation Category gathers information about the translation of RUVIVAL. Add your translations of RUVIVAL elements or discuss the technical and linguistic issues related to translation. Of course, you will be given due credit for your work and be listed as a contributor on our website.

We will also include a category where you can search as a project or community for expertise by posting your cases. Not all but some will be picked as case studies at Hamburg University of Technology in each winter semester or directly online discussed. More information on the project consultancy can be found here.
