Demonstrating synergies in combined natural and engineered processes for water treatment systems

Deliverables

Dissemination Plan & Report

Dissemination Plan & Report to be updated periodically about planned and performed dissemination activities, M6, M18, M30 and M36

Design of bank filtration schemes and coupled engineered solutions

Marketing Report: The marketing report will focus on regional needs in Europe, Asia and Africa and market options for combined systems with special focus on cost savings. It will highlight favourite design practices and adaption strategies for the combination of BF with engineered solutions in order to secure water supply under extreme weather conditions.

Ecosystem services from cNES

Full report on the ecosystem services analysis from demonstration sites

Tool box for risk assessment and decision support for BF design/operation in combination with engineered post-treatment

Technical REport: The report will present a validation of how existing tools can be applied for risk assessment and decision support for BF design/operation in combination with engineered post-treatment (all sites). Required qualification/training for using such tools will be evaluated.

Oxidative pre-treatment for managed aquifer recharge and soil-aquifer treatment systems

Integration, synthesis and recommendations from demonstration sites applying combinations of oxidative and biological treatments. Report covering performance and design aspects derived from Task 2.1 (Lange Erlen site) and Task 2.2 (Shafdan site). Two part report with responsibilities at FHNW and MEK alike

Advantages and limitations, impact of BF design, recommendations for operators

Technical Report: Information from demonstration sites and literature data on advantages, limitations, design and operation of BF schemes will be analysed to draw conclusions for managers, decision makers and operators. Key outputs are transferable numbers on attenuation rates for relevant pollutants in relation to the Water Framework Directive and on technical problems related to redox conditions. The report includes BF + Membrane filtration (Task 1.1+1.2); BF + Disinfection (Task 1.3+1.4); Energy efficient operation (Task 1.5)

Novel monitoring-modelling systems to manage qualitative and quantitative status of coastal aquifers

Integration, synthesis and recommendations from demonstration site 8 applying a combination of monitoring and modelling tools for optimised SAT/MAR system. Characterisation of performance in dependence of environmental and other parameters (climatic constraints, waste water quality & flux, golf water supply,…). (Task 2.4)

Design recommendations for combining CW with engineered pre- or post-treatments including case studies of demonstration sites

Technical report: The recommendations combine the results from AquaNES with existing guidelines for constructed wetlands and summarize also the design data of the studied sites. The aim of the report is to facilitate the market replication of the combined solutions by giving detailed information on its design and benefits.

Marketing Report & Brochures

Marketing Report/ Brochures for selected innovations

Combining constructed wetlands and engineered treatment for surface water protection

The demonstration activities in the field of surface water protection (Sites: Task 3.1, 3.2, 3.4) are summarized and the benefits of the combined treatment are highlighted. Key outputs are transferable numbers on e.g. load reduction of nutrients or pharmaceuticals into surface water bodies in relation to the Water Framework Directive.

EU governance for cNES

Map of EU governance systems and analysis of leverage points

Combining constructed wetlands and engineered treatment for water reuse

The demonstration activities are summarized and the benefits of the combined treatment especially in regard to the reduction of human health risks are highlighted. Key output will be a comprehensive comparison of water reuse related water quality data with national water reuse legislations (e.g. Greece, Italy, Spain) to evaluate the marketability of the approach in different EU member states.

SAT-MAR-specific ICT system for stakeholder use

SICT tools as an innovative water quality monitoring and modelling linked to data management and communication, for optimised management of cNES sites and their future implementation. Stand-alone software derived from Task 2.4.4 and to handed over to AquaNES DSS.

Demonstration of using software tools SOMA 2 for predicting the behaviour of micropollutants and SIPHON for energy efficient siphon well operation

Improved/adapted software tools SOMA 2 for predicting the behaviour of micropollutants and SIPHON for energy efficient siphon well operation will be validated at demo sites. Results from monitoring programs, pilot testing, pumping tests and energy consumption measurements will be combined and used to test the application limits/advantages of the software tools

Web based interactive tools for QMRA tool and chemical water quality assessment

A web based QMRA application will be launched which allows the assessment of various treatment trains regarding the compliance with WHO health targets (subtask 4.4.1). Further this deliverable provides a decision tree to select a treatment train based on chemical water quality and application (subtask 4.4.2). Both parts ready to be integrated into the AquaNES DSS

Dissemination Events

3 dedicated dissemination events (e.g.Workshops, Training) M36 (between M24-M36)

R packages for integrative data processing & visualisation tool

The developed R packages for data processing and visualisation will be transferred to the site operator together with a short comprehensive manual to enable the use and future adaption of the tools

The AquaNES DSS final version will be delivered, including final versions of tools developed by WP1 to WP5, the Decision Reasoning System (DRS), the Knowledge Management sub-system and any other component, as well as complete documentation on all the above. The Knowledge Repository will be fully populated with data & knowledge collected or generated by all AquaNES tasks and demonstration and it will be fully functional both as i) a component of the DRS for producing problem-solving Roadmaps to the available knowledge, as well as ii) a stand-alone DSS component to be exploited by end-users. Complementary to the DSS documentation provided, training and presentation material will also be delivered, as well as detailed recommendations for further development.
