Situation: | Increasingly, water supply companies wish to capture and assess modern technology developments incorporating the international water market to resolve specific forthcoming challenges. Assessing technologies requires a neutral and technically competent screening of technology providers on the global market, including identifying the advantages and disadvantages for application under the conditions for water supply companies in Germany. |
| Methodology: | The project identifies modern technical solutions on the national and international water market for specific forthcoming challenges faced by water suppliers. This is achieved with interviews and workshops with water suppliers based on scouting for innovations across disciplines. Together, DVGW Research Centre TUHH and DVGW Research Centre Engler Bunte Institute perform a trend study including evaluation of research activities to detect future trends in drinking water supply. The results of this scouting are also used to update the 2025 DVGW research strategy. |
