Water challenges during and post COVID-19, an international webinar series convened by ICCW.

What will be the impact of COVID-induced disinfection on our water system? What will be the additional impact of detergents? What would be the best detergent for this purpose, with reduced water/environmental impact? Can one practice hygiene during water scarcity? Are our water resources safe in this pandemic? Can there be new products and opportunities for the industry? What are the safe practices?

In this context, ICCW has hosted an international webinar series: inaugurated by Shri Parameswaran Iyer, Secretary DWS, GoI, and welcomed by Prof T Pradeep. The first symposium was on the theme of disinfection.
