TECHNEAU • Safe Drinking Water from Source to Tap • State-of-the-Art and Perspectives

The TECHNEAU consortium co-funded by the European Commission, IWA and WML - Waterleiding Maatschappij Limburg are organising the TECHNEAU Conference on 'Safe Drinking Water From Source to Tap - State-of-the-Art and Perspectives' to be held June 17 - 19 , 2009, in Maastricht, the Netherlands at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

The conference will provide a leading podium for those professionals concerned with drinking water challenges and adaptive strategies. TECHNEAU, in cooperation with other research programmes in Europe and beyond, will present state-of-the art and breakthroughs on water treatment technologies, sensors and monitoring and water systems simulation and operations. The conference will also address small scale systems, risk assessment and risk management and consumer issues. Special attention is given to the implementation of research outcomes in practice. Workshops and field trips will allow participants to contribute actively. One of the workshops serves to shape the WSSTP research agenda on water treatment technologies.
The conference is targeted for:

    * scientists and researchers,
    * operators of water supply systems,
    * policymakers and regulators from Member States and European governmental agencies,
    * engineers and consultants,
