Second International Conference on the Design, Construction, Maintenance, Monitoring and Control of Urban Water Systems, Algarve, Portugal
27 May 2014 - 27 May 2014
Portugal
The Second International Conference on the Design, Construction, Maintenance, Monitoring and Control of Urban Water Systems will take place from 27 to 29 May, 2013 in the Algarve, Portugal.
Water systems in the urban environment comprise of supply networks as well as sewage and storm drainage systems. They interact with each other and with bodies of water such as rivers, lakes and aquifers. This interaction affects the quality and quantity of the different systems.
As European cities continue to expand, their urban infrastructure needs to be re-evaluated and adapted to meet new requirements related to population increase and urbanisation.
Issues such as contamination and pollution discharges in urban water bodies, as well as the monitoring of water recycling systems, are currently receiving a great deal of attention from researchers and professional engineers working in the water industry.
The conference will bring together various stakeholders in this field to discuss the legal and regulatory aspects of these issues, in addition to technical problems faced by industry and authorities.For further information, please visit:
