Smart Water Technologies: Α New Era in Monitoring Water Quality

Introduction

Water-based applications are expanding at an ever-increasing rate and complexity. Starting from simple surface water treatment through to drinking water storage and distribution and complex wastewater treatment techniques, there is an enormous blend of energy input, human intervention and applied technologies. This combination of activities requires demanding monitoring regimes and intelligent application of mature technologies in order to achieve the desired results. This is where Smart Water Technologies come into play. This Smart Water Technologies training course will present the different areas/sectors in which Smart Water Technologies (SWT’s) are applied and examine in detail their specific characteristics and potential. Particular reference will be made to the agricultural, and the utilities as well as to the industrial, water treatment and healthcare sectors.  It will at the same time address new emerging technologies and how they can be applied in the context of sustainability and cost-effectiveness.

This training course will highlight:

  • An introduction to water quality criteria
  • The different water treatment techniques
  • The most common Smart Water Technologies
  • Sustainability criteria for Smart Water Technologies
