The vision of the Water Supply Engineering (WSE) chair group is that our research, technological innovations and collaboration with partners in the water sector shall improve the sustainability of water treatment and distribution systems, while protecting human health and the environment.

One of the key areas of the WSE group is Desalination and Water Reuse, where the focus is on seawater and brackish water desalination and membrane technology and water reuse in order to augment fresh water supplies in drought ridden areas of the (developing) world.

Our main activities are research, education and capacity development. Research lines include Water Quality Methods, Modelling, Pre-treatment and Post-treatment.
