Description
Climate change is increasingly affecting the prevailing ways of water supply & water use in Europe and the Baltic Sea Region. Opening up alternative water sources, incl. the reuse of storm & wastewater, and promoting the utilisation of water of different qualities can be ways to make water management more climate resilient. We kindly invite you to the 1st WaterMan & ERB Water Core Group Dialogue Forum which intends to launch a BSR-wide dialogue on the potentials & challenges of water reuse, incl. presentations & discussions on the policy framework, experiences & practices from other parts of Europe and prospects in the Baltic Sea Region. Please register your participation in the event until 27 October 2023.
