H2OforAll Webinar “Preparing Drinking Water Supply Systems for Climate Change – Case Study Insights”

The H2OforAll project, in collaboration with SafeCREW, will host a crucial webinar on April 3, 2025, titled “Preparing Drinking Water Supply Systems for Climate Change – Case Study Insights” (register here). This online event will bring together leading researchers, regulators, and water supply operators to tackle the challenges posed by Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) in drinking water.

Moderated by Mathias Ernst (DVGW Research Centre, TUHH), the webinar will feature expert presentations on key topics such as sensor placement for DBP detection, strategies to prevent DBP formation, and insights from water quality monitoring initiatives and DBP detection in Ukraine and Ireland. Notable speakers include Aristotelis Magklis (CYENS Centre of Excellence), Andreu Fargas (Consorci d’Aigues de Tarragona), Serhii Martynov (National University of Water and Environmental Engineering), and Valerie McCarthy (Dublin City University).

With climate change affecting water systems globally, this event will highlight the importance of proactive water management strategies to minimize DBPs and enhance resilience. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussions and contribute to shaping future water safety solutions.

H2OforAll Exhibition in Barcelona

On the weekend of February 8 and 9, 2025, H2oforAll participated in the “Water, an Unfiltered Exhibition” held at the Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona, as part of the H2OforAll communication and dissemination initiative. This event provided an excellent platform to engage with the public (especially younger children) and communicate the importance of access to high-quality, uncontaminated water. H2OforAll was present alongside other H2OforAll representatives from the Departamento de Engenharia Química (Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal), as well as a partner from the UPWater project (CSIC, Spain), reinforcing collaboration in water purification and sustainability research.

The primary focus of the H2OforAll exhibit was to raise awareness among children about water contamination and purification methods. Interactive demonstrations were designed to be engaging and educational, showing how certain materials can effectively remove pollutants from water.
