Waterman - study visit to Berlin - day 2

On the second day of the Waterman project study visit, we attended a conference with external authorities on water reuse held in Potsdam. We listened to presentations by experts from the Potsdam Climate Impact Research Institute, the Brandenburg Water Academy, the German Environmental Protection Agency, the Berlin Water Competence Center, the Berlin Water Works, and the Berlin University of Technology. Topics covered included the issue of German water reuse regulations, water recycling in the Baltic Sea region, water recycling in agriculture, large-scale testing of sequential groundwater recharge, exploiting synergies between trace substance removal and water reuse, as well as the effectiveness of advanced technologies in terms of water conservation. A panel discussion on the leading theme was also held.

During the event, posters presenting the various pilot investments of the WaterMan project were presented. The exhibition was aimed at familiarizing all interested parties, including those outside the project consortium, with the details of the project's ongoing projects. In the course of the work, 10 posters were produced describing and illustrating each pilot individually. During the conference, representatives of each region remained available to answer questions related to their pilot investment in detail.
