What ' s on
Pan-European Symposium on Water and Sanitation Safety Planning and Extreme Weather Events
Extreme weather events, causing floods and droughts, can have major implications for the performance of water and wastewater infrastructure and services, and the availability of good quality water. Related to sanitation, postflood areas show a significant occurrence of waterrelated infectious diseases. Disease outbreaks following heavy precipitation or floods are often the result of contamination of the drinking water supply systems and the living environment. During droughts, drinking water availability and quality can also be affected. In response to extreme events, adaptation strategies are being developed and implemented, at policy level, but also by drinking water and sanitation service providers. Water and sanitation safety plans( WSSP), as recommended by the World Health Organisation, offer comprehensive risk-based management tools to enhance these efforts, focusing on preventive measures, emergency response, and preparedness planning. Cross-cutting topics will be addressed during the symposium. Presentations and workshops will be organised with the goal of presenting the achievements, experiences, and challenges of water and sanitation professionals and regulators in addressing extreme weather events. This event presents a unique opportunity to share knowledge and experiences from within the region and to advance the topic of climate-resilient planning for water supply and sanitation services. The working language of the symposium is English. April 6 and 7 The Netherlands http:// www. iwcconferences. com / wssp-and-extreme-weather /
The forum will bring together participants from the region and the international water community: academics, research institutions, international organisations, governments, policy-makers, and NGOs. As a triennial event held one year prior to each World Water Forum, the 4th Istanbul International Water Forum aims to provide important inputs to the 8th World Water Forum, which will be held in Brazil in 2018. Registration to the 4th Istanbul International Water Forum will be free of charge. May 10 and 11 Istanbul, Turkey info @ suen. gov. tr https:// suen. gov. tr / en /

How to use Activated Sludge Models in practice There is an ample need for hands-on practice of mathematical modelling of Activated Sludge plants. The one-and-a-half-day( 14 hours) modelling course provides detailed instruction on mathematical models, their structure and use in practice, such as design, operation, and control in activated sludge plants, and ample hands-on opportunity to use these models in a classroom setting. The learner will gain an understanding of the structure of the IWA Activated Sludge Models( ASMs) and get a hands-on opportunity to use these models.
