| Watershare workshop on subsurface water storage and water reuse |
| 20 september 2018 - “Managed Aquifer Recharge schemes may boom if we reduce the uncertainty in effects on water quality,” said prof. Paul Jeffrey, winner of the 2018 IWA Project Innovation Award. Quicker and better water quality predictions will not only help utilities in developing reuse schemes, it will also help decision makers in permitting and policy making. This is needed urgently as current legislation, in the EU and elsewhere, is often not tailored to review subsurface storage and reuse applications. |

| Developing capacity to overcome water challenges in a rapidly changing world |
| 2o september 2018 - How to address our water challenges? Climate change and urban growth are making this question increasingly important. Despite the numerous solutions available, many cities and organisations have yet to find a good answer to the question. The application of the available technologies and knowledge is inhibited by a variety of barriers. The capacity to collaborate effectively and overcome these barriers is essential. This is why most water challenges are primarily water governance challenges. Watershare’s City Blueprint tool and new Governance Capacity Analysis tool, developed by KWR, identify the barriers and provide cities and organisations with the solution pathways to address existing challenges as effectively and economically as possible. |
