13:00 Workshop: the Future of Urban Water
The transition to a sustainable water system is a social challenge as much as a technical one. In ANCHOR we assess how both professional and end users perceive new technologies and whether they accept them as viable alternatives. In this workshop we'd like you to share your beliefs, opinions and ideas about the future of the urban water system. Through a series of questions and dilemmas we learn about other’s ideas and preferences in shaping the future of urban water.
