IDA reuse conference explores regulations, finance, tech advances

摘要

The 2018 International Desalination Association (IDA) International Water Reuse and Recycling Conference: Making Every Drop Count, held on June 24-27 in Valencia, Spain, explored water reuse regulation frameworks, financing trends, and technology advancements. IDA Secretary General Shannon McCarthy stated in the opening session that the 180 delegates from 29 countries gathered at the event represent "a collective recognition that water reuse and recycling policy and technologies are evermore critical to meeting growing global freshwater needs." IDA selected Valencia as the location for its second international conference on water reuse and recycling because Spain is a leader in Europe and in the world, recycling on average more than 13 percent of its treated waste waters, with some cities and regions recycling even more than 90 percent.
