This 1-day conference will take an holistic view of the unique position of the chemical sciences in facilitating the supply and treatment of water. It will cover policies, strategies and technologies for supplying safe water to where it is needed - seeking to minimise the environmental risks and costs of providing and treating water whilst maximising social benefits.
It will also consider methods to optimise water conservation, the use and reuse of water and wastewaters, the importance of extracting value from water, and the likely drivers that will affect the cost/benefit of applying these technologies in the future.
The event will focus on exploring pathways and techniques that depend on the chemical sciences to supply and treat water in a sustainable way, achieving the maximum societal benefit with the lowest intergenerational consequences.
