This conference is part of the IWA Specialist Group “Wetland Systems for Water Pollution Control” conference series, which is a bi-annual conference series that acts as a global forum for discussion and knowledge sharing on the state of the art in scientific and practical development and implementation of natural and constructed wetlands and other nature-based solutions for providing water quality improvement and other co-benefits and ecosystem services. Some of the main conference topics include:
- wetlands in urban environments;
- wetlands for water reuse;
- wetlands and the circular economy;
- wetlands for water pollution control;
- wetland conservation, restoration, and climate change.
Other up and coming topics such as wetland intensification, removal of emerging organic contaminants, wetland co-benefits, modelling, and monitoring and remote sensing.
Martinique is a place steeped in history, as well as being rich in marine and terrestrial biodiversity. In order to protect this biodiversity, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the innovative actions that the Martinique Water Office (ODE) has been carrying out, particularly on Treatment wetland for the last 15 years. The organization team of INRAE, ODE and UFSC-HUPANAM will introduce you to the latest developments in research and implementation of wetland systems for water pollution control in the Caribbean and South America to accelerate the implementation of TW in the region.
