"Water Environment and Water Ecology"

Today, the availability of water for drinking and other uses is a critical issue in many areas of the world. In a situation where global water shortages, serious water pollution, and environment deterioration are still very prominent, overcoming the crisis in water, preserving and water environment, providing access to clean water have been posing one of the greatest engineering challenges in the century for a healthy, sustainable future for the planet. Scientists and researchers have been endeavoring to seek widespread, long-term, practical, ecologically sound solutions and strategies to improve water availability, reduce water use, develop water projects, meeting the water supply and quality needs, and enhance water environment and water ecosystem. 

We sincerely invite you to Panel A1 "Water Environment and Water Ecology" of IFEE 2020, listening to the enlightening presentations by distinguished scholars and discussing how to play the important role of Environmental Engineering Education in sustainable development!

About the Organizer

School of Environment (SOE)

School of Environment (SOE), Tsinghua University originated from the Department of Civil Engineering founded in 1928. Under the leadership of Mr. TAO Baokai, the foAunder of environmental engineering discipline in China, successive generations of SOE people have been endeavoring to develop SOE to be a nationally and internationally recognized institution for high-end talent cultivation and cutting-edge scientific research. SOE is placed No. 9 by the QS World University Subject Rankings 2020. 

SOE aims to establish a future-oriented environmental discipline system, nurture interdisciplinary and innovative talents, create a sound academic atmosphere of free exploration, improve interdisciplinary integration and innovation ability, and generate brand-new, internationally influential knowledge, technologies and methods, thus helping solve regional and global environmental problems, and rank SOE among the top environmental institutions across the globe.

Ecological civilization has been a major challenge for sustainable development at current stage. China has launched a battle for blue sky, clear water and clean soil. Looking forward, SOE will shoulder its responsibility and march forward firmly.
