THE CALL FOR PAPERS

Urban water professionals are facing unprecedented pressures. Customers demand ever-higher standards of water and sanitation services, regulators impose stricter directives, and shareholders seek better returns from massive infrastructure investments. On top of that, ecological pressures compel water managers to prioritize adaptability and sustainability. Faced with increasingly complex challenges, and growing threats like the 2020 covid-19 crisis, how can urban water and wastewater professionals continue to ensure efficiency ?

IFTS (Institute of Filtration and Separation Techniques) is the organizer of the conference. Since its creation in 1981, IFTS strongly developed its expertise in water, waste water treatment and reuse and is presently an actor in urban water management.
