CWRR members at IWA conference 2018 in Valencia
The 16th IWA International Conference on Wetland Systems for Water Pollution Control (ICWS2018) was held in Valencia from September 30th – October 4th, 2018. The conference was organised by the Research Institute of Water and Environment at Technical University of Valencia, Spain.
The 16th IWA International Conference Wetland Systems for Water Pollution Control follows the tradition of biennial meetings of theoreticians, engineers and practitioners working on treatment wetlands. A special emphasis will be done, linking wetlands systems – pollution control – biodiversity. Spain is the UE-28 country richer in biodiversity with many Natura 2000, several natural wetlands in high risk with more and more water scarcity because the global change. The conference is an opportunity to bring together experiences in treatment wetlands for water reuse in small communities.
