Project description
Adaptation of drinking-water supply systems under climate change conditions
The safe and affordable supply of drinking water in the EU under the pressure of climate change is a key priority. With rising water temperatures and increasing heavy rainfall events, higher amounts of organic substances and microorganisms will also be present in raw water. Well-established processes that have so far guaranteed high drinking water quality will have to be changed and adapted, in particular processes for disinfection and for removal of organic substances. The EU-funded SafeCREW project will develop new methods for monitoring, quality assessment, treatment and distribution of drinking water. Moreover, it will derive guidelines for drinking water management and integrated risk assessment for water suppliers and authorities. One focus will be the investigation of previously unknown disinfection by-products and the further characterisation of already known ones and their formation.
