11th IWA Specialist Group Conference on Wastewater Pond Technologies

his international conference intends to make available the latest discoveries and proven technologies from pond systems, with the ultimate aim of achieving sustainable and affordable wastewater treatment systems. Wastewater pond technology has made significant contribution to sewage treatment around the world by providing low-cost and effective treatment technologies. Latest research and experiences in full-scale pond systems have examined treatment alternatives that might provide radical changes to how we currently treat wastewaters, both in industrialised and developing countries. In particular, this conference aims to promote the use of low-cost treatment technologies that provide added value from reducing operation and maintenance costs, while meeting stringent discharge water quality standards; and the recovery and reuse of resources from wastewater streams in the form of bioenergy generation, safe wastewater for reuse for agriculture, nutrient recovery and opportunities for nov
