TECHNEAU (one of the major drinking water projects of the EU which started in January 2006 for a five-year period) has the goal to analyse the present water situation in different regions of the world and rethink current water supply options. TECHNEAU results are to be shared at Regional Technology Platforms (RTPs). These one-day workshops will enable intensive information exchange through personal contacts and dissemination of knowledge between the project team and local stakeholders like operators, researchers, regulators and technology suppliers.
The forth RTP will take place in T÷bor in the Czech Republic. The Conference will highlight the water situation in Eastern Europe and discuss the enormous challenges the region had to face after the political and economic transformation.
The event will be supported by the European Commission, the National Institute of Public Health (CZ) and the Water Supply and Sewerage Association of the Czech Republic (SOVAK).
A wide range of national and international speakers will cover the following topics:
- Future challenges in water supply - Treatment technologies
- Enhancing existing monitoring and control technologies for safeguarding the drinking water quality
