Research tasks

 

At the Taihu 2 research project will take into account the whole water cycle:
  • competent management of water resources
  • adapted monitoring strategies
  • capable water treatment process
  • efficient distribution of the drinking water

 

German water technologies and management concepts will be specifically developed and adopted to accommodate Chinese boundary conditions. Scientific progress as well as practical applicability will be ensured by the strong linkage between partners from science and practice in Germany as well as in China. The second phase of the project (SIGN2) runs from 2018 to 2021.
