Supply and disposal
The German sewage system is outdated. Large parts of the network were built more than 100 years ago. Although hundreds of millions of euros flow into maintenance and expansion every year, this remains an eternal task for the municipalities. Processes can be optimized and costs saved by using new techniques for damage analysis. The sewage system is increasingly being polluted by wet wipes and other hygiene items that are discharged via toilets and lead to blockages.
The topic of microplastics also requires new approaches. The aim is to curb the entry of harmful particles into natural waters. Finally, climate change and inner-city surface sealing require effective rainwater management.
