Webinars of our COST Action

Next: 20260702 9AM - Klara Ramm from Warsaw University of Technology will do a presentation on our webinar topic: Challenges of Water Reuse in the Baltic Sea Region

Klara Ramm is an Assistant Professor at Warsaw University of Technology. She has gained extensive professional experience working with water utilities as well as public and private institutions. Since 2006, she has cooperated with the Chamber of Commerce “Polish Waterworks”, representing Polish water utilities in EurEau. Klara actively contributes to initiatives aimed at protecting water resources and improving water services across the European Union. She is involved in national and international water management projects and participates in scientific research activities. She currently serves as Project Manager of the ReNutriWater and Symbioter projects and is a Member of the Mission Board “Restore Our Ocean and Waters”.

Abstract:

The Baltic Sea region appears to be rich in water. However, climate change is causing periodic water shortages, necessitating consideration of water reuse options. As part of projects implemented in the region, funded by the Interreg Baltic Sea Fund (ReNutriWater, WaterMan), a survey of wastewater treatment plant operators was conducted. Furthermore, solutions were proposed based on pilot studies, including adapting technologies to specific needs, developing disinfection methods, and conducting risk assessments.
The webinar will discuss the opportunities and threats operators perceive in water recovery from urban wastewater. Furthermore, an IT tool will be presented as a simple tool for assessing recovery and reuse options in a municipality. A handbook on water reuse, containing the results of pilot studies, will also be presented.
