International Technical Exchange
Last update date April 14, 2021
Overview
Yokohama City collaborates with overseas sewerage companies, the International Water Association (IWA), JICA, etc. to conduct technical exchanges with engineers from various countries. In addition, we are working on information gathering, technology development, and human resource development to utilize the knowledge and technology of overseas organizations in the sewerage business operation.
In addition, we concluded a memorandum of understanding with the Paris Wide Area Sewerage Administrative Association (SIAAP), which has many common issues with the city regarding sewerage business operation, to share continuous knowledge in August 2019. Through this exchange, we will spread our knowledge on trends such as responding to aging sewerage facilities, energy recovery, introduction of green infrastructure, etc., as well as the latest technologies, and utilize them in future sewerage business development. I am doing.
