2023.04.13-19 Norwegian water delegation visits China.

CSDI joined the technical visiting to Shandong, 13-14 April 2023. This is the first Norwegian delegation to China since the outbreak of COVID-19. This technical visiting was supported by Innovation Norway and the Norwegian Embassy in Beijing and Consulate General in Shanghai. Members of the delegation includes DOSCON AS, ScanWater, CAMBI, WAIES and CSDI. The network partners work to create innovative, sustainable, and circular solutions for stormwater management, smart wastewater treatment and reuse of the wastewater resources.

During the two-days’ visiting, the delegation was received warm welcome by Shandong Department of Environment & Ecology (SDEE), visited Shandong Environment Protection Group (SEPG) (Fig.1) and Everbright Water (Fig.2-3) on the day 1 and exchanged existing technical solutions, challenges and expressed wishes for collaboration in the areas with common interests in environmental protection, wastewater treatment, resources recovery and reuse and sustainable water management. An ½ day seminar was organised by presentations given by partners from both sides and followed by a match-up meeting for detailed communication of the interesting partners.

 

2022

For the seventh time, Storm Aqua AS organizes the annual “Climate Adaptation Days” at Clarion Hotel Energy in Tjensvoll on the outskirts of Stavanger, in collaboration with the SFI Climate 2050 research centre.

The conference sets focus on practical solutions for storm water management – stormwater quantity, water quality and reuse. We believe that the best solutions to current and future challenges on stormwater can be achieved with a holistic approach; an interdisciplinarity and an interaction between all sectors involved in stormwater management from early planning to operation and maintenance.

Session 6 addresses the topic of Rainwater Harvesting and reuse of wastewater resources, including the current situation and challenges, international experience, efforts and the newest results from the EU-H2020 project-Wide Uptake.

 

2021
