bringing coastal SUBsurface water SOLutions to the market (SUBSOL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

Coastal areas are the most productive and economically dominant regions of the world. The high water demand in these regions, however, puts tremendous pressure on their freshwater resources and ecosystems. This leads to problems like seasonal water shortage, saltwater intrusion, and disappearance of wetlands. Building on national, regional and European research and innovation programs, in the past ...

Hydrochip

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Background Surface water quality has been deteriorating in recent decades, due to the emission of chemical compounds (e.g. heavy metals, pesticides, nutrients and fertilisers), physical alterations (e.g. infrastructure, dams and fixed water levels) and the presence of harmful organisms such as cyanobacteria. Due to climate change, the latter is becoming a ...

Demonstration of integrated smart water supply solutions at 4 sites across Europe (SmartWater4Europe)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

European water utilities face many problems related to their 3,5 million km’s of distribution networks. Large parts of water distribution networks have to be rehabilitated requiring investments of € 20 billion/year. Prioritization and optimization of investments is needed urgently. In many countries, water quality needs improvement in order to reduce health risks and resources for water production ...

Increased Water Efficiency with Ceramic membrane technology (IWEC)

Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

This project aims to break through the market barriers for the introduction of ceramic membrane solutions, by the implementation of the first full scale ceramic membrane plant for the treatment of waste water produced by drinking water companies. The expectation is that if one major end-user invests in a ceramic membrane solution, the barrier for other potential users will be lowered significantly ...

Cradle to Cradle Islands (C2CI)

Start date: Dec 31, 2008, End date: Dec 30, 2012,

The project will focus on the development of new and sustainable energy-related technologies and strategies in islands around the North Sea Region. C2CI will develop and implement the cradle-to-cradle (C2C) methodology for NSR islands, i.e. designing intelligent products and materials that can be used over and over again and thus replace the concept of waste. Three development clusters that focus ...

Adaptive and Sustainable Water Management and Protection of Society and Nature in an Extreme Climate (CLIWAT)

Start date: Aug 31, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,

The project will focus on the effects of climate change on groundwater systems. CLIWAT aims to identify the challenges caused by the higher water levels and to develop climate scenarios focussing on surface water and water supply as well as the impacts on buildings. This will enable the North Sea Region to react more efficiently to the consequences of climate change. The project will build on and ...

Sustainable drinking water production from low quality ground water enabling flexible ground water management (SUSDRIGROW)

Start date: Dec 1, 2003, End date: Jun 30, 2006,

Background Around 15 percent of the water used for domestic, industrial and agricultural consumption in Europe comes from ground water resources. However, this can result in the desiccation of elevated areas where there are sand-rich soils. Areas which are prone to desiccation can be found in the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, France, ...
