Description

Stormwater network management is a crucial issue for the preservation of the global natural environment as well as the safety of life and properties in urban areas.

This webinar will provide an overview on technical (and non-technical) motivations and barriers to using digital technologies in sewer systems. Moreover, social challenges will be presented on multiple levels: individual, organisational and institutional.
