Circular water usage in the neighbourhood
Chair: Stefan Bergsma, Business Developer at DeSah and Johan Bel, Mijn Waterfabriek/chairman Expert Group Circular Water

Drinking water supply is under strain due to climate change, population growth and pollution. This session will show that there are many solutions to reduce and reuse drinking water in a neighbourhood. This workshop will highlight several projects where significant drinking water reduction and local water reuse have been implemented and are planned to be implemented to create circular water neighbourhoods. During the session you will hear from two inspiring cases, one on rainwater and one on wastewater, how to deal with water more sustainable and circular in the built environment. To summarize, join this session if you want to know more about and network with peers working on circular water solutions for neighbourhoods and cities.
