Hi Community, I'm helping Tepic Nayarit Municipality (México) to improve public services and they want to visit Amsterdam (Mayor and Water System Director) to know how the public services works there (mainly water distribution and treatment).. Which is the best way to coordinate a visit with local authorities?.. Thanks

Hi Juan Manuel, how is the coordination for your visit going?
Thanks Sabine, i will have WaterCampus as a place to be in the visit, it looks very interesting, as soon i have more details i will back to you. Regards
Hi Juan, I think it would be very interesting to come and visit the WaterCampus in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands. WaterCampus Leeuwarden is the meeting point of the Dutch water technology sector and has the ambition to play a sector uniting role for the rest of Europe as well.
WaterCampus stimulates cooperation between (inter)national businesses, knowledge institutes and governments within the water technology sector, in order to create synergy for world class innovation, education and entrepreneurship. This strengthens the global position of the European water technology sector. Additionally, WaterCampus offers a unique research infrastructure, and is a meeting point for scientists and companies from all over Europe. We (Hydraloop) are a member of the Water Alliance and have our offices there. I would be delighted to meet up and show you around in Leeuwarden. Herewith the website : https://www.watercampus.nl/about-watercampus/
@cornelia could you help Juan Manuel with a visit?
Busca Waternet en la red. Es una empresa pública y son las Waterschappen que le gestionan
I sent mail to Waternet.. thanks
Gracias, hay algun contacto de waternet en la Comunidad?
Lo mejor sería contactar con Waternet y pídeles si pueden organizar todo la visita. Ellos saben todo del tratamiento de los aguas en la ciudad y la region y son independientes del ayuntamiento
