Securing the present and future water supply with innovative concepts and technologies

For many years, the DVGW's research programmes have provided significant support for successful water research, which -with its consistent practical relevance- stands for innovation and sustainability in the German water industry. The DVGW water research is a key driver for rulemaking, standardisation, education and knowledge transfer. It builds know-how, guarantees qualified consulting services and provides reliable information for expert opinions. In addition to the already existing practice-oriented research funding, in 2021 the DVGW has launched its "Innovation Programme Water" which aims at developing and testing innovative solutions to enable the sustainable use of all water resources in Germany.
