Seminar | Water circularity: balancing challenges and opportunities

The Faculty of Biotechnology, organizes on May 3, at 9:30 a.m., the Seminar "Circularity of water: balance between challenges and opportunities". 

Water scarcity is a major threat for life on Earth. The small fraction of water that is available for human consumption (2.5% of the total), in rivers and streams, lakes, reservoirs, and groundwater aquifers, is not distributed uniformly around the world. Demographic growth, economic development, and improvement of living standards, climate change and pollution are major causes of increased water consumption and also of water quality deterioration.

This seminar aims to discuss the threats of water scarcity and water reuse as a truly win-win approach, influenced by both the incentive to improve wastewater treatment and to reuse what has been discarded.
