MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT experience and technology, ranging from reuse by simple filtration that removes suspended Covid-19 has imposed great restrictions, but solids to elimination of salts by reverse the experience of quarantine has helped osmosis technology. We can achieve zero us to strengthen our belief in ourselves, our brine concentration and discharge to obtain businesses, our teams, and our ideas. the required qualities depending on the use to which the product water is put. As Darwin’s theory of evolution proved: complications make us stronger and prepare There is a clear intention to expand the water us to better withstand a situation of constant reuse in the market, and increase reuse levels in uncertainty. In this context, I would like to all countries. The new European regulation will express how robustly our sector has endured enable increasing the use of reuse technologies and is enduring this period of instability, during in Europe, thereby helping to fight water stress which our treatment plants have continued and scarcity. To date, European legislation to produce and treat water with even greater had not been of much help, but now there is availability, we have continued to build the an appropriate framework. Greater reuse of plants contracted prior to Covid-19, and the treated wastewater will decrease withdrawals sector has shown itself to be resilient. from surface water bodies and groundwater, In this time of change, IDA continually works to promoting water savings and ensuring a high degree of environmental protection. promote best reuse practices. Dear Members,
