International Technical-Scientific Conference

Wastewater Treatment Plant Management in Small and Medium Communities

Wastewater Treatment Plant Management in Small and Medium Communities

Wastewater Treatment Plant Management in Small and Medium Communities

May 25 - 27, 2020Bucharest, România

“Wastewater Treatment Plant Management in Small and Medium Communities” International Conference offers the opportunity to present and discuss the latest international developments, strategies, techniques and best practices, both in setting policies at regional level and in choosing cost-effective solutions.

The Conference will be part of a series of events organized by the Romanian Water Association within Danube-Eastern Europe Regional Water Forum.

The Conference is organized due to the need to constantly improve the management of wastewater. Some of the major challenges specific to our region are determined by the type of rural development, the degree of development of the communities, the limitation of financial resources available and not least of the specific climate of the area.

Aim of the Conference

Exhibition

The Danube-Eastern Europe Regional Forum will host in parallel with the Conference a specialised trade show that will provide an ideal opportunity for companies to promote their services and products relating to all aspects of water supply and sewage management.
