DWA Topic T4/2016 "Design of wastewater treatment plants in warm and cold climatic zones"

The current release of the DWA Topic is available in German language only. The English translation will be published in May 2018. Further information is available here.
 

Following project-related technical articles, presentations and posters are available in English language. Several further German-language publications and the final R&D reports are available at the German project website.
