Strategy for the Natura 2000 Network of the Umbria Region (SUN LIFE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
Background
Italyâs central region of Umbria hosts transitional areas located between the Mediterranean and Continental biogeographical regions. These areas are rich in biodiversity and include many endemic species. Such diversity is reflected in the 104 SCI and SPAs located in the region, accounting for more than 15% of its land surface. However, the co ...

BIOprocess ControL through Online titrimetry to reduce Carbon footprint in wastewater treatment (LIFE BIOCLOC)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
Background
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are designed and operated to protect the environment from polluting compounds and, when possible, to recover energy and matter (as nutrients and water for example). While most of Europeâs WWTPs are currently removing biodegradable organic compounds satisfactorily, the removal of nutrients (nitrogen and phos ...

Rotating bioreactors for sustainable hydrogen sulphide removal (Biosur)
Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Background
People living in industrial tannery districts, especially those close to wastewater treatment plants, have traditionally experienced poor air quality and odour problems caused by emissions of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and other sulphurous compounds. The Santa Croce sullâArno tannery district in Tuscany produces more than 80% of all Italian foot ...

SHOWW - puShing aHead with field implementatiOn of best fitting Wastewater treatment and management solutions (SHOWW)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Background
Since wastewater treatment processes require large investments, it is very important that up-to-date, appropriate and viable solutions be implemented. Failing to do so delays the reduction of environmental pressure and results in ineffective use of taxpayersâ money.
Previous LIFE projects have identified a wide range of available solutions, ...

CO-ordinated Approach for Sediment Treatment and BEneficial reuse in Small harbours neTworks (COAST-BEST)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2013,
Background
The presence of contaminated sediment in coastal environments may lead to significant alteration of marine and coastal ecosystems. Since marine disposal is forbidden by national and international regulations, an alternative solution needs to be found to prevent the disposal of dredged sediment as landfill. Furthermore, the identification of pro ...

Meteo-hydrological Forecast and Observations for improved water Resource management in the ALPS (FORALPS)
Start date: Dec 31, 2003, End date: Mar 30, 2008,
The project will improve and integrate instruments to support the management of environmental resources in alpine areas, in particular water. This goal will be achieved by adopting innovative techniques for monitoring and reconstructing the time evolution of meteo-hydrological processes.The competence areas of the partners cover uniformly the central-eastern Alps, where the territories of various ...
