With the technology available nowadays, it is relatively easy and economically feasible to recover from wastewater high quality water. However, are people ready to accept water obtained from wastewater? Are city planners and architects ready to consider separate collection of the different types of wastewater from households, treatment and reuse?
Professor Peter A. Wilderer, Director of Institute of Advanced Studies on Sustainability, Technical University of Munich, Germany, will talk about the innovative concepts of overcoming water supply and sanitation problems in large in fast growing cities. Some of these concepts may apply to Hong Kong and Mainland China. The lecture is entitled: "Paradigm Shift in Water Management: Where Are We Heading To?" His talk will be one of the William Mong Distinguished Lectures in Engineering and Computer Science, held by the Faculty of Engineering of The University of Hong Kong.
Media representatives are invited to cover the lecture, the details are:
