Sewage treatment in rural areas as well as the
flush-out of pollutants from agricultural areas
have also recently attracted attention. The
management of wastes from agro-industries
was first addressed in an international forum
in the first International Symposium on Waste
Management Problems in Agro-industries,
held in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1989.
The success of the event, with its high-quality
contributions and the interest of participants from
all over the world, established it as a regular IAWQ
symposium. The purpose of AGRO 2019 is to provide a
forum for discussion on as many aspects as possible
within the context of the symposium title. The International
Symposium on Waste Management Problems in
Agro-industries has been held with IWA’s support since
1989 and the previous nine symposiums were organised
under the same umbrella. It will be the 30th year of the
symposium with the 10th AGRO 2019 this year.
The symposium will address the
increasing pace of complex environmental
problems generated by a number of major
industries such as textile, leather, pulp and
paper, food, brewery and pesticide and
other agro-industries.
Topics to be covered include biological treatment
of wastewaters and wastes, chemical treatment of
wastewaters and wastes, nutrient removal and recovery,
resources recovery and reuse, advanced treatment
processes and innovative technological applications,
modelling and design interaction, sludge stabilisation,
utilisation and disposal and innovative water and waste
management systems for agricultural areas.

The 10th International Water Association (IWA)
International Symposium on Waste Management takes
place in Rhodes, Greece, from 19 to 21 June 2019. The
symposium will address the increasing pace of complex
environmental problems generated by a number of
major industries such as textile, leather, pulp and paper,
food, brewery and pesticide and other agro-industries,
necessitating urgent and effective solutions based upon
available scientific information and experience.
