Re-Water Braunschweig

5th International Symposium, November 2-3, 2015, Conference Proceedings

Integrated Concepts

The 5th International Symposium "RE-WATER Braunschweig" focuses on "Integrated concepts". Integrated concepts for water and wastewater management involve not only technical aspects of wastewater reuse, but the merging of diverse areas such as governance, health risks, legal regulation and public acceptance as well as other aspects of water policy. The implementation of integrated water and wastewater projects will result in the long-term sustainability of our water supplies. However, the above mentioned complex connections have equal influence on both the benefits and challenges of water reuse. Challenges experienced by water reuse projects may include the demand for innovative technologies, technology transfer and implementation of novel applications as well as the need for public education and increased public acceptance.

This symposium will deal with integrated planning and evaluation of water structures in settlement areas to be able to find a better balance between human needs and ecological necessities in the water sector. Furthermore the use of novel wastewater collection and cleaning systems will be presented. A special focus is put on the reuse of treated wastewater as a promising strategy to relieve water shortages and to protect natural resources. International examples for industrial and agricultural reuse of treated wastewater will be given. Hygienic aspects and nutrient recycling play an important role especially in the area of agricultural reuse. Therefore, topics such as micropollutants, disinfection and nutrient recovery will be discussed.

The symposium is organised by the "Stadtentwässerung Braunschweig GmbH". Cooperation partners are the Institute of Sanitary and Environmental Engineering of the TU Braunschweig, the Berlin Centre of Competence for Water and the "Abwasserverband Braunschweig".
