In view of the growing importance of safety and quality in international discussions of water supply, the programme of the European Forum Water attracted considerable attention. The main topics dealt with in presentations and discussions included new developments in connection with the EU Drinking Water Directive, the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive, the introduction of technical standards in southern, central and eastern Europe and the practical implementation of the WHO Water Safety Plans.
On April 3rd 2006, water experts from Germany and most European countries gathered in Berlin.
