two experts groups WG2 Terminology and Communication Task Group (CTG) that reside under TC 282.

On Wednesday, May 16th, a technical tour was held. The tour included a visit to the Water Seoul Recycling

Center & Seoul Sewerage Science Museum. The Museum was wonderful and told the

story of the Wastewater network and Treated wastewater in Seoul, a city of 10 million

people. The sewerage facilities are used to prevent flooding by removing rainwater

and keep urban areas clean through wastewater treatment. The water that flowed in

the canal, in the past, was polluted for many years. A main canal in the center of

Seoul now receives the treated wastewater flows. Recently the area was developed

and along the sides of the stream a promenade with vegetation was developed for

recreation and tourism.

The meetings had a very good atmosphere of cooperation and mutual assistance to improve the work within the TC. All the committees made good progress in developing their standards.
