EWA Task Groups

Through the different committees and task groups, the EWA provides a forum for discussion and exchange of knowledge and experience between national experts on the European level.

Chairman: Bojan Zmaic, Croatia


Task Groups are active in the following areas:
TOC / COD / BOD

Task Group on TOC/COD/BOD

Chairman: John Martin (UK)
Scope: The intention is to set independent limits for BOD and COD. In some places high values of COD have been found in domestic effluents. The study should examine the issues for that and include TOC, not only as absolute measure of carbon but to give information on the use of TOC as a quality determinant. Some European countries have more experience and the objective of the group should be to pool and extend the knowledge and recommend best practice for the dissemination to member organisations and to the European Commission. The EWA therefore aims to create a sound basis of information for further discussion on this topics.
Output: publication in specialists journals (EWM journal, journals of member associations), eventually organisation of a conference or workshop
