Objective
The project aims at implementing a source approach in water manegement of urban areas.The objectives are to gain experience with source-approach techniques, to gain experience in the field of communication with involved parties and to draw up a handbook for the large- scale disconnection of paved surfaces.
The Blue Transformation, is a concept for a solution to problems in the field of water management in existing urban areas. Characteristics are: - source approach: separation of clean and contaminated water streams; - inferring at a suitable moment by linking up to other processes evolving in the urban area, for instance in the fields of transport, green area management, urban renewal, city development: - looking for a supportive basis for measures, by negotiating with the involved parties and taking their wishes and suggestions into account. The Blue Transformation will be carried out at six existing locations (fixe in Eindhoven (NL) and one in Copenhagen (DK). These locations will all be different, with respect to such characteristics as type of building, etc. At each location one, or several disconnecting methods will be tested. Among the applied techniques will be techniques that are already applied on the experimental base at other locations. The results of these techniques will be recorded, and - if required - the dimension and most suitable materials will be determined. In addition, completely new innovative products and techniques will be tested. The current situation will be recorded of every location, and the qualitative and quantitative effects will be determined. Based on the experiences, a handbook will be complied that will facilitate disconnection of paved surfaces from the sewage network at a larger scale, and in other countries according to the method of the Blue Transformation.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
