The World Water Day 2017 Colloquium takes place at the University of Hohenheim on 22nd of March 2017, 13:00 – 17:00 in the Aula of the Hohenheim Castle.

Each year, the World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of freshwater. Under the theme ‘Water and Wastewater’, the year 2017 provides an important opportunity to highlight the symbiosis between water and wastewater in the quest for sustainable development. Wastewater - a resource or threat for global water supply? In the context of water quality this year’s colloquium will address another key topic of the Anton & Petra Ehrmann-Stiftung Research Training Group “Water – People – Agriculture”.

Our presenters will provide insights from different disciplines to topics such as the dynamic of subsurface water, the healthy Ganga project or the question if rice produces too much wastewater.

WPA scholars will present their ongoing research activities. We are looking forward to enjoying interesting presentations and discussions around water topics.
