Clean drinking water is one of the most important foundations of our daily lives. However, periods of drought, heavy rainfall and the consequences of climate change pose ever greater challenges for water supply and wastewater disposal. How can cities and municipalities guarantee a secure supply in the future? What role do modern technologies and sustainable concepts play?
The new episode of the "Einfach Forschung" podcast from Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences focusses on the future of water management and the question of how research can contribute to making the supply of water safe and sustainable in the long term. The episode is entitled: "EF042: Safe and sustainable water supply in times of climate change"
The guest is Prof Dr Jens Wagner, Professor of Water and Wastewater Technology at Ostfalia in Wolfenbüttel. His research and teaching focuses on energy efficiency and energy management in water supply and wastewater disposal systems. Together with moderator Prof Dr Heinz-Dieter Quack, he will talk about current challenges and innovative solutions for a sustainable water infrastructure.
Climate change, drinking water and sustainable water management
In the interview, Jens Wagner explains how climate change is affecting the water supply and the resulting requirements for local authorities, supply companies and technical systems. Topics include modern water treatment processes, the safety of drinking water supplies and the sustainable design of wastewater disposal systems.
