Semizentral Germany at Singapore International Water Week
The Singapore International Water Week is the global platform that brings policymakers, industry leaders, experts and practitioners together to address challenges, showcase technologies, discover opportunities and celebrate achievements in the water world. Themed Sustainable Cities: Clean and Affordable Water, the Singapore International Water Week 2010 focuses on the need for efficiency and cost effective solutions to address water problems amidst a constantly changing environment. More than half of the earth’s population already live in cities, and the trend towards urbanisation is accelerating. As urbanisation continues to gain momentum, there is an urgency to address the water shortage issues before the situation deteriorates further and hampers economic growth. One significant presentation was given by Prof. Martin Wagner, Institute IWAR, Wastewater Technology, describing the Semizentral approach and focussing on the economical potentials of those integrated semicentralized systems.
