3rdINTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Dear Sir and Madam,

The objective of the Conference is presentation of contemporary legal, research, design and operation issues regarding collection, treatment and distribution of water as well as wastewater drainage and treatment. We want to provide a platform for exchange of views among the representatives of universities, scientific and research institutions, design firms, environmental protection divisions, water and wastewater companies, communes, operators of water-pipe networks and sewerage systems as well as other companies involved in investments, operation and modernisation of municipal and industrial water supply and wastewater drainage systems.

The conference has been held annually since 2001, and since 2015 we have had the honour of hosting partners from foreign universities as well as scientific and implementation institutions. It is a recognised discussion forum for current issues regarding broadly-understood water and wastewater economy in Poland. It treats these issues comprehensively in technical, economic, social and legal aspects.

In response to the current challenges affecting management and operation of water and sewerage systems, the core theme of this year's edition is"

"Reality of the Polish water and sewerage systems in the conditions of the European sustainable development policy".

An integral element of the Conference will be workshops regarding development and implementation of risk management systems according to the latest recommendations of the European Union, translating into legislative changes related, inter alia, to supply of drinking water. The workshops fall within the framework of the new approach to water safety, based on water supply risk management, imposing responsibility and obligations on government agencies, local authorities and water suppliers. The directive we will be obliged to implement in the next two years introduces not only the latest scientific knowledge, but it is also a response to the civil initiative "Right to Water", indicating the necessity to provide the EU citizens with access to safe water and information. According to the new DWD, water suppliers will be obliged to inform not only about the quality parameters, but also about such issues as the cost structure or complaints of consumers. At the concluded trilogue, the parties agreed also upon the sequence of actions aiming at water leakage prevention through improvement of the technical condition of the water-pipe infrastructure. The Members States will have three years to calculate their water leakage indices based on which the Commission will determine the average annual leakage index and the Member States will have two years to prepare plans to reduce them. The workshops will have a form of practical classes regarding preparation and implementation of Water Safety Plans by the water and sewerage enterprises in Poland.

We would like to once again invite the Participants from April 21-23 2021.

The event will be held under the auspices of the Section of Sanitary Engineering in the Committee on Civil Engineering and Hydroengineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences.   

We are looking forward to seeing you
