10th year of Novatech

International meeting on strategies and solutions for sustainable water management in the city, with a focus on urban rainwater.

In a context marked by an intensification of urban development and climate change that makes the future uncertain, rainwater management is a major challenge that calls for innovative responses, based on the latest research results and tested in the field.

Some of the challenges at the heart of Novatech’s discussions include considering and implementing strategies on the scale of catchment areas; better characterising water in rainy periods; and designing and managing alternative works to major sanitation networks and integrating them into urban and landscape development to make water management a key component of sustainable cities.
