Arctic WASH

Global climate change, population growth, urbanisation and economic development in sectors such as tourism, resource extraction, and transportation create new challenges in relation to waste and wastewater handling, pollution and human health.

The Arctic WASH Thematic Network deals with documentation of issues and development of solutions concerning the technical challenges related to WAter, Sewer and Health (WASH) in remote Arctic communities.

Goals

The Thematic Networks is hosted by the Arctic DTU and its focus is to document issues and solve technical challenges related to water supply and wastewater in remote Arctic communities.
