It will be a focal point for coordination in Europe, as well as towards the outside world.

Based on the principles of the Water Vision for Europe, the European Water House is being established as to make it visible and applicable, to demonstrate that working together with private and public structures, local, regional, national and European institutions may turn these principles into a coherent reality for a sustainable future. It will be the venue where concepts, policies and debates are presented in a concrete visible manner, demonstrating the vast potential of appropriate water technology and its practical and educational applications.
