The Plan de Gestion et de Sécurité Sanitaire des Eaux (PGSSE) is a global approach to continuous improvement aimed at guaranteeing the safety of water supplies for human consumption at all times. Its fundamental aim is to move from a reactive to a proactive risk management culture.
The aim of the research campaigns is to detect significant micropollutants present in raw water entering and in treated water leaving wastewater treatment plants. These one-year campaigns have been carried out every six years since 2022.
If bioassays, biomarkers and biomonitoring are increasingly used to monitor water quality, what do these new strategies involve and what answers do they provide?
A scientific publication demonstrates the relevance of using sentinel organisms to monitor micropollutant peaks in WWTPs, thanks to the ToxMate bio-detection station.
ToxMate, a real-time biodetection station for micropollutants, is now configured for use upstream of WWTPs, to provide a better understanding of incoming pollutant loads.
As organizing authorities, local authorities are directly involved in the implementation of measures to preserve water quality. How can controls be strengthened to better prevent the risks of pollution, which are accentuated during periods of drought?
Although the revision of the Deru has fallen behind the initial schedule, the first texts should be available in the fall of 2023. A few broad outlines seem to emerge on the future developments, concerning the fight against micropollutants.
This year, France is facing an unprecedented episode of winter drought, foreshadowing future periods of insufficient water resources. How can water-dependent industries preserve their activity in the likely context of future restrictions?
