On 25 May, IDOS and the Bonn Water Network organised two excursions for the participants of the Congress. Two groups of about 50 people each visited the Bad Godesberg wastewater treatment plant and the flood protection measures at the Mehlemer Bach. Under the guidance of the civil engineering office and based on a study by the Bonn Water Network, it was explained how early warning and infrastructure measures prevent flood damage in the event of heavy rain. Overall, the GWOPA Congress with its approximately 300 participants from all over the world offered a great opportunity to improve the transnational exchange between research and practice and to strengthen networking on water topics in Bonn.
