The DEMOWARE project: Website launched

The DEMOWARE project (Innovation demonstration for a competitive and innovative water reuse sector) has launched its website (http://www.demoware.eu). 

The DEMOWARE project is a European project co-funded by the European Union under the 7th Framework Program started on January 1st, 2014 and will last for 36 months. The project counts with the participation of 27 institutions from 10 different countries. The main objective is to deliver a European roadmap for a viable water reuse industry by executing a highly collaborative programme of demonstration and exploitation of water recycling schemes which will pave the way for future opportunities.

The project is guided by SME & industry priorities and has two central ambitions; to enhance the availability and reliability of innovative water reuse solutions, and to create a unified professional identity for the European Water Reuse sector.

Using nine existing and one greenfield innovation demonstration sites distributed all over Europe and Israel, the project deals with treatment processes and reuse schemes, process monitoring and performance control, risk and environmental benefit analysis, business models and pricing strategies and governance and stakeholder collaboration. Project outcomes will guide the development of a live in-development water reuse scheme in the Vendée greenfield site.
