The annual event of the Israeli water community "The Kinneret Conference for water engineering and water innovation" took place despite the challenging time in Israel. Israel is considered a leader in water technologies and water solutions with future plans of turning the State of Israel into a start-up nation in water technologies . Strauss-Water as a leading company was invited to share its expertise in water quality at the point of use. Our very own Hella Frenkel, Director of Water Technologies, shared findings on new generation Contaminates found in drinking water globally, and how the leading edge technological solutions developed by Strauss -Water treats the drinking water and provides the highest water quality. As a pioneering company providing drinking water, Strauss-Water tracks the world challenges affecting the availability and quality of the drinking water, such as climate crisis affects drinking water worldwide, source water degradation and emerging contaminants with the latest updated regulation defining the treatment. Strauss- Water is seeking to provide the future technologies of drinking water treatment, consistently keep improving the quality of life and provide the healthiest, highest quality, and most delicious water experience.

📢[NEWS] Yesterday, the MEPs approved the new #Urban #Wastewater Treatment Directive. With a majority of 481 votes in favour, 79 against, and 26 abstentions, the deal reached with the Council in January 2024 marks a significant step towards leveraging urban wastewater standards and protecting public health and the environment in Europe.   👏 Water Europe welcomes this directive that is perfectly aligned with our vision of achieving a #WaterSmartSociety. Over the previous period, we developed together with our Policy Advisory Committee, our community, and partners a number of positions that have been instrumental in the process:   ✅ Joint statement for the promotion of access to Sanitation for All in Europe (October 2020) https://lnkd.in/eVuCfBjv ✅WE Position paper for a Green Circular And smart urban wastewater treatment directive (October 2020 – updated in June 2021) https://lnkd.in/ekRhnf-4 ✅Joint Statement: The polluter-pays principle should remain at the core of the Union’s wastewater treatment legislation (March 2023) Joint-Statement-EPR-UWWTD_-V2.pdf (watereurope.eu)   🔔 Now, we call upon the Council to join the European Parliament and the European Commission in supporting this text for a greener, circular, and smarter urban wastewater treatment directive.   The text is available here: https://lnkd.in/e6MjEdn6 #UWWTD #UrbanWastewaterTreatmentDirective #WaterSmartSociety #PublicHealth #EnvironmentalProtection #EuropeanParliament #CircularEconomy #SustainableEurope #WaterPolicy #SanitationForAll #PolluterPays #circulareconomy Water News Europe

Decision Making for #WaterSecurity- Data, Information, Knowledge and Capacity: Happy to have supported #WaterWithoutBorders 2024 cohort- as a panelist on 'Human-Water Nexus Feedback Seminar' hosted by USP - Universidade de São Paulo Brazil McMaster University and Prof Mendiondo. We discussed the key highlights of the #2024 UN World Water Development Report: Water for #Prosperity and #Peace. This #comprehensive assessment of the overall state, use and management of the world’s freshwater resources aims to provide decision-makers with tools to formulate and implement sustainable water policies.

Forty-three million Americans lack access to municipal water, and 1 in 10 people globally do not have access to safe drinking water. The new Rice WaTER Institute, led by pedro alvarez, the George R. Brown Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, will develop accessible clean water technology. Rice researchers will address a number of pressing global challenges related to water in public health, energy transitions and resilient infrastructure. https://bit.ly/49hkJq9

DO you know about The GEF CReW+ project? The project is “An integrated approach to water and wastewater management in the Wider Caribbean Region using innovative solutions and sustainable financing mechanisms” that provides innovative and nature-based solutions to mitigate the effects of partially treated or untreated wastewater on the environment and public health. 🔸 Reform national policies and legislation for domestic wastewater management 🔸 Improve national regulations for sewage discharge to the marine environment 🔸 Promote greater reuse of treated domestic wastewater 🔸 Improve overall wastewater management including the use of cleaner technologies 🔸 Monitor and evaluate current wastewater management practices including impacts on the marine environment The GEF CReW+ Project values water as a precious resource and applies the concept of Integrated Water and Wastewater Resources Management (IWWM) based on the four Rs of the circular economy approach: reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover. The project treats wastewater not as waste, but as a valuable resource with reuse potential in agriculture, industry and other commercial sectors. Treating wastewater safely supports regional efforts for sustainable development by reducing pollution, safeguarding marine biodiversity and protecting human health. Key Objectives of the GEF CReW+ Project: 1. Reduce pollution from wastewater: The project aims to minimize the environmental and public health impacts of partially treated or untreated wastewater by implementing sustainable wastewater treatment and management systems. 2. Promote integrated water resource management (IWWM): The project advocates for an IWWM approach that considers the interconnectedness of water resources and emphasizes water conservation, reuse, and recycling. 3. Enhance financing mechanisms: The project seeks to develop and implement sustainable financing mechanisms to support the long-term viability of water and wastewater management projects. 4. Strengthen regional cooperation and knowledge sharing: The project facilitates collaboration among WCR countries to exchange best practices, share expertise, and promote knowledge dissemination in the water and wastewater sector.
