Project description
Aiding the widespread implementation of water-smart solutions
One of the objectives of a water-smart economy and society is to ensure that all valuable substances found in wastewater or used water streams are recovered. The EU-funded WIDER UPTAKE project hypothesises that the broader uptake of water-smart solutions is hindered not only by technological but also by organisational, regulatory, social and economic barriers. With this in mind, it aims to create a roadmap for the widespread implementation of water-smart symbiotic solutions for wastewater reuse and resource recovery, based on circular economy principles. Its solutions will help to optimise water reuse, resource recovery and energy utilisation.
