Libya’s state implementation agency, the Housing and Infrastructure Board (HIB), is organising a workshop on ‘‘The National Programme for Water and Sewage’’, under the banner ‘‘Sewage Treatment Plants: Reality and Challenges’’.
The event will be held from 17 to 18 July at a leading hotel in Tripoli.
The HIB reports that the workshop will focus on:
1. Evaluating the current status of sewage treatment plants in terms of sites, performance efficiency, system integration, quality of produced water.
2. Management, operation and maintenance of treatment plants (training and rehabilitation of technical personnel - reality, problems, solutions).
3. Reviewing the technologies used in wastewater treatment (systems and places of use, criteria for selection, suitability for the Libyan environment, economics of implementation, operation and maintenance).
4. Reuse of treated water (challenges, experiences, fields, technologies, economics).
5. Sources of financing and investment in the field of wastewater treatment (areas of investment, participation of financers, previous experiences).
6. Wastewater treatment and sustainable development (economic and social impacts, environmental impacts, legislation and laws).
