Lecture and discussion with Prof Dr J?rg Felmeden

The increasingly complex challenges in water management, particularly as a result of climate change, require interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary solutions in order to make cities and infrastructures "climate-proof". Resource-orientated sanitation systems (NASS) can make an important contribution to the sustainable use of water and wastewater by largely closing material and water cycles. Our daily (partial) wastewater flows and the recyclable materials they contain are a continuously available and renewable resource for water reuse, nutrient recycling and heat recovery.
