Sustainable domestic Water Use in Mediterranean Regions

The whole Mediterranean area is characterized by a strong need of new solutions able to provide and sanitations services while reducing water use and wastewater discharge.

The SWMED project focuses on the optimisation the per capita water consumption at household and urban level through the implementation of water saving devices, reuse of treated wastewater, rainwater harvesting, a pool of technologies known as Sustainable Water Management (SWM).
