TECHNEAU: technology enabled universal access to safe water

Objetivo

Many of the numerous small supply systems in rural areas in Europe and developing countries do not comply with regulations. Large centralised supply systems in industrialized regions are struggling to meet the challenge of a reliable, uninterrupted supply of water with a high level of compliance with standards and of minimal risk to human health, including the risk from deliberate contamination of water, whilst being accepted and trusted by consumers.

It is the vision of TECHNEAU that, in order to cope with present and future challenges, water supply systems should consider a transformation from mono-scale to flexible multi-scale systems i.e. interlinked centralised and decentralised satellite treatment, monitoring and control systems. TECHNEAU will develop and demonstrate adaptive supply system options and new and improved supply and monitoring technologies and management practices. Treatment strategies will be based on robust multi-barrier schemes and control methodologies, providing safety against a broad spectrum of chemical and microbiological contaminants and avoiding organoleptic problems at the tap. Monitoring technologies will provide on-line and at the site information on water quality including parameters that relate to malicious contamination. Practices for risk assessment/risk management, operation and maintenance, and models for consumer acceptance will constitute the framework for these technologies.

These technologies and management practices will enable end-users to make informed choices, appropriate to their own circumstances and constraints, for cost-effective and sustainable source-to-tap solutions for the provision of safe high quality drinking water that has the trust of the consumer. This step-change will be achieved by a critical mass of researchers, technology developers and users from across Europe and developing countries.
