Transformatief Omgevingsmanagement

De drinkwatersector staat voor grote uitdagingen. Klimaatverandering, maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen en institutionele veranderingen dwingen drinkwaterbedrijven meer samenwerking en afstemming met de omgeving te zoeken, zodat zij ook in de toekomst voldoende drinkwater van…

Microbial safety

PCR methods for legal parameters

In determining the (hygienic) quality of drinking water, use is made of E. coli, intestinal enterococci and bacteria from the coli group (coliforms) as indicator organisms. Culture methods are the standard technique used to establish the presence…

Innovative water treatment technologies

Waterrotonde Eerbeek

A pilot project has been organised with a circular water management system at the Industriewater Eerbeek (IWE) site. Existing plants treat process water from paper and cardboard mills and recover residual products for use in agriculture. The…

Emerging contaminants

From non-target screening to risk assessment

Non-target screening, bioassays and computer modelling can provide information about the structure, concentration and toxicity of unknown substances in water. Until now, these chemical, biological and computing methods have often been used…

Future-proof networks

Determining reliability of modelling of drinking water warming

Water utilities want to know at which locations in the distribution network, and during which periods, risks of excessively warm drinking water may occur, and what targeted measures…

Hydroinformatics

Methods for decision-making under deep uncertainty

Progressing climate change, technological developments and population growth put our society and also the water sector in a situation of deep uncertainty. Deep uncertainty is a technical term for the unpredictability of…
