Sewage water treatment is amongst one of the key management objectives in managing urban water systems. In the context of low, and middle income countries, properly collect and treat sewage water represent a highly challenging, yet critically important task in views of urbanization, population growth and ever increasing demands and requirements in urban environmental management. In this webinar, Professor Marcos von Sperling provides a comprehensive overview and review of available sewage water treatment technologies, and discusses their effectiveness and applicability for low and middle income countries. A systemic benchmarking and comparison of different available technological options is particularly helpful for those seeking suitable options for managing sewage water treatment.
The webinar is one in a series of events under the IHE Delft Alumni & Partners Online Seminar – a collaboration between IHE Delft and TheWaterChannel. This series consists of a collection of presentations by our speakers, geared towards a broad audience in different domains of expertise. For further information, visit www.thewaterchannel.tv/ihe
