Adapting to Change: Considerations for Water Recycling in the UK
Conference Overview
In 2020 the first Adapting to Change conference in Brighton considered the potential water recycling and desalination technology that might be used in the near and mid future to address the UK’s water scarcity challenges. Three years later it’s back focussing on Water Recycling, considering; the development of the UKs water recycling projects, the technological and regulatory perspectives of implementation and international experiences which can inform the development of these projects.
The 2023 conference will be held across two days in the Old Courtroom and associated Royal Pavilion rooms:
The Old Courtroom
Presentations and panel discussions
The Great Kitchen
Networking & Nibbles
Royal Banqueting Room
Gala dinner
The conference will include:
- Over 5 UK water/wastewater companies presenting on their experience to date providing a historically and current perspective on water recycling projects and possibilities
- Perspectives from UK regulators and multiple international consultancies
- Speakers from the following Internationally esteemed projects including:
Windhoek, Namibia
Orange County Water District, USA
& Australian Reuse Projects
All tickets enable access to the two-day conference (inclusive of lunch at Cote Brighton), a tour of the Brighton Pavilion and a unique opportunity to engage in a water tasting event based in the King William IV room including recycled water! #A2C2023
