Imagine a city that runs out of tap water during a heatwave. Instead of just hoping for rain, this project helps cities use 'backup' water like treated wastewater or captured rain. It provides a digital toolkit and a playbook to help city leaders and citizens agree on how to switch to these alternative sources.
Cities and industries face severe water scarcity and drought, but struggle to adopt alternative water sources due to lack of public acceptance and complex planning processes.
A Deliberation Support Tool and a digital platform for scenario building. An AWRs catalogue that benchmarks different water reuse and harvesting solutions.
If you are a utility provider dealing with water scarcity — this project developed a Deliberation Support Tool that helps you co-construct resilient water supply scenarios with the public. This ensures new water infrastructure is accepted by the community before construction begins.
If you are a park manager dealing with high water costs and runoff — this project developed an AWRs catalogue and demo cases for rainwater harvesting. This allows you to reduce reliance on the city grid by using captured storm water for site maintenance.
If you are a consultant dealing with complex regulatory hurdles for water reuse — this project developed a digital platform for decision making. You can use these evidence-based lessons from 4 demo cases to advise clients on scaling up alternative water resources.
Based on available project data, there is no specific pricing or cost information provided for the tools.
Yes, the project focuses on scaling up actions from 4 demo cases to local or regional levels using a digital platform and guidance tools.
Based on available project data, the IP and licensing terms are not specified.
The project examined policy and regulatory frameworks at the EU level and within local contexts in the Lower Danube Basin and specific demo countries.
The project period runs from 2024-01-01 to 2026-12-31, suggesting results will be finalized by the end of 2026.
The consortium is well-balanced for technology transfer, featuring 17 partners across 7 countries. With a 29% industry ratio (5 companies, including 3 SMEs), there is a strong link between the 4 universities/2 research centers and the actual market. The presence of 6 'Other' organizations suggests heavy involvement of public water authorities, which are the primary end-users.
