waterpeat

Peatlands are important in several regions as they contribute to many ecosystem services such as drinking water provision, biomass production and flood retention. When peatlands are drained, negative environmental impacts include reduced surface water quality, loss in biodiversity and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Peatland water management must consider ways to: i) reduce water-related environmental impacts, ii) produce crops and biomass, iii) limit subsidence and soil loss, iv) prevent fire during droughts, v) offer viable solutions for restoration and after use of degraded sites. Water management must consider different type of peatlands, different land use options, climate, and socio-economic settings

Severe shortage in good quality water reserves is a global problem that will increase with a growing world population. Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) will contribute to replenish depleted aquifers and restore ecological services in fresh water ecosystems. [more](https://www.idaea.csic.es/project/maradentro/

atenas

ATeNaS merges innovative approaches in the field of water storage and purification based on NBSs. This was pointed by EC (20156) as the most promising area to generate green growth, followed by social inclusion and equity being the target of ERA. Considering that, urban water management nexus requires twofold, parallel action: (1) to strengthen adaptive capacity of cities by establishing innovative solutions linking technology with ecosystem services towards one system capable to evolve and adjust to changing conditions; (2) to make an investment in education, information exchange and empowering of local leaders, who are able to mobilize people effort and attention locally, to produce global transformation.

urbwat

T seeks to implement grey-water treatment constructed wetlands within a modern, urban, mega-city slum context. Grey water in such a context is very different to that emanating from a developed urban environment. The project is located Alexandra, a township which includes formal, semi-formal and informal settlements, immediately adjacent to Sandton, the economic centre of Africa. The project draws on social science, psychology, biology, chemistry and engineering skills to understand the specific context with a view to designing, building, implementing and monitoring a grey-water treatment system which will exceed the lifespan of the funding. There is a strong focus on understanding and hopefully overcoming the human drivers leading to failure of treatment systems in similar contexts in other parts of the world.[More](http://www.waterjpi.eu/joint-calls/joint-call-2017-ic4water/booklet/urbwat-1

nano carriers

Micro and NANOplastics as CARRIERS for the spread of chemicals and antibiotic resistance in the aquatic envirnment An estimated 300 million tons of plastic were produced worldwide in 2015, and this number keeps increasing. This has resulted in a widely acknowledged presence of plastic debris of all sizes in the aquatic environment. The NANO-CARRIERS project will study the threat related to the plastics at the micro and nanometric size emitted through wastewater treatment plants to be trojan horses for chemicals and antibiotic resistance genes into aquatic ecosystems.

The research program addresses the issue of household water demand management. Prima facie, it aims to provide a socio-economic assessment of green nudging policies, focusing on water consumption controlling and proper understanding of the charging system by the households, taking into account adjustments in the pricing policy that nudges may generate (in view of their effects on water demand functions).

Innovative Decentralized and low cost treatment systems for Optimal Urban wastewater Management. Reuse of treated wastewater is increasingly seen as one of the solutions to tackle the water scarcity problem and to limit the pollution load to surface water. Yet, using reclaimed water for non-potable purposes and particularly to irrigate food crops presents an exposure pathway for antibiotics and antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes (ARB&G) to enter the human food chain. Wastewater reuse is currently of particular concern as potential source of selective pressure that elevates the levels of antibiotic resistance in native bacteria.

IoT for Supervision and Control of Water Systems Water transport and distribution systems must be carefully monitored and operated to avoid water losses, to save energy and to protect the assets of the water utilities against damage. In major water transport and distribution systems this task is performed by centralized SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems which receive information from remote sensors and remotely control components like valves and pumps.
