Brief description of ToR
Climate change effects such as temperature increase, drought, floods, more frequent storm events and rising sea levels cause negative impacts at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs. These impacts include declining wastewater quality, higher energy demand and increased treatment requirements. Since climate change is here to stay, the impacts need to be proactively addressed for long term sustainability of wastewater treatment operations.
