22nd Health-Related Water Microbiology Conference
Local Organizer: RIVM, IWC conferences, Delft University of Technology, Wageningen University and Research, STOWA, Deltares
CONFERENCE THEME: SAFE WATER IN A CHANGING WORLD
Panta rhei: everything flows. Our world, climate and environment is changing. Water is at the center of this global change, and providing safe water and sanitation to the citizens of the world is more challenging than ever before. The symposium program will cover all aspects of health related water microbiology in the whole water cycle in our changing world. It will cover basic and applied research, and how to turn this knowledge into impact.
Topics
- Global change and water safety
- Global change and microbial hazards
- Global change and water safety
- Epidemiology of waterborne and water-based diseases
- Drinking water and health
