The training aims to improve industrial wastewater management services and the way they relate to intervening entities. The action will also address solutions for the industry to manage its industrial waters, the connection to public drainage and reuse systems, as well as the instruments and monitoring processes that must be carried out by the managing entities “in decline” and “in high”.
Aimed at technicians from municipalities and industries, 10 editions were scheduled in different locations, including: 2 editions in 2023; 4 editions in 2024; and 4 editions in 2025. Places will be limited to a maximum of 30 participants per edition to allow for better interaction between everyone. Registration, free of charge, will only be carried out by invitation from AdTA.
