In December 2019, the Zappeion Hall in Athens hosted the 1st FORUM on Water, an important event under the auspices of the President of the Hellenic Republic, Mr.Prokopis Pavlopoulos.

Kapodistrias" and Professor Grigoris Tsalta, Director of the Environmental and Climate Research Laboratory.
The Forum provided a platform for discussion and analysis of the problems related to water, one of the most vital elements for human survival and environmental balance. Renowned experts, scientists and professionals from different sectors gathered to share their knowledge and propose solutions to improve water quality.
One of the keynote speakers was Kostas Athanasiou, President of the Camelot®, who provided an extensive analysis of the problems related to water quality. Athanasiou pointed out that the water we use every day to drink, cook, wash our food and give to our pets must be free of pollutants and harmful substances. He analysed the various problems that drinking water faces, such as contamination by heavy metals, chemical residues, microbial contaminants and other harmful factors.
In his speech, Mr Athanasiou stressed the importance of water purification systems as the necessary and correct solution for ensuring certified clean and healthy water both at home and outdoors. He explained how these systems can effectively remove 100% harmful substances from water, improving its quality and protecting the health of consumers. He also highlighted that the use of water purification systems helps to protect the environment by reducing the need for plastic water bottles and the associated environmental burden.
Attendees at the Forum had the opportunity to learn about the latest developments and technologies in the field of water treatment and purification. Through the presentations and discussions, the challenges and perspectives for addressing water quality problems at national and international level were highlighted.
The event was a great success, providing a platform for the exchange of ideas and cooperation between the various stakeholders. The participation of Costas Athanasiou and his contribution to the water quality debate confirmed the leading position of the Camelot® in water treatment and the company's commitment to promoting solutions that improve the quality of life.
In summary, the 1ο Forum on Water at Zappeion was an important initiative to raise awareness and information about water quality problems and proposed solutions. The presentations and discussions that took place laid the foundations for future actions and partnerships aimed at ensuring clean and safe water for all.
