“Health risk assessment and mitigation where wastewater treatment does not work”, “Health protection measures and policy aspects”, “Environmental effects of wastewater in agriculture” and “Awareness raising and national strategies”.
Practical sessions were also introduced. One of the hands-on examples was a site visit organized in Morocco to the wastewater treatment plant of Marrakech. This facility treats the wastewaters of Marrakech, which are then used for irrigation of golf courses and, in the near future, of the palm trees of “La Palmeraie”. It also generates biogas, which is used to generate a substantial fraction of the power used by the treatment facility.
The knowledge-sharing events enabled the following:
Clustering and prioritization of the capacity needs of the countries involved
Identification of the necessary materials, expertise and know-how to fill these
gaps
the names of experts to be involved.
These events had other significant impacts such as raising awareness of the topic among the international community, presenting current trends, challenges and activities, exchanging experiences and knowledge and building a community of practice among participants.
