Project Overview

SUWANU EUROPE is an EU funded projected focused on the use of reclaimed water for irrigation in agriculture. The reason behind is that wastewater when treated according to appropriate standards and methods has a strong potential to complement conventional water resources used in agricultural irrigation.SUWANU EUROPE is focused on water reuse projects in Europe through the reuse of treated wastewater in agriculture.

SUWANU EUROPE is an EU funded projected focused on the use of reclaimed water for irrigation in agriculture. The reason behind is that wastewater when treated according to appropriate standards and methods has a strong potential to complement conventional water resources used in agricultural irrigation.SUWANU EUROPE is focused on water reuse projects in Europe through the reuse of treated wastewater in agriculture. The reason behind is that wastewater treated according to appropriate standards and methods has a strong potential to complement conventional water resources used in agricultural irrigation.The aim of the water reuse projects is to promote the effective exchange of knowledge, experience and skills between practitioners and relevant actors of water reuse in agriculture, so that direct applicable technological and organizational solutions are widely and balanced disseminated all around Europe resulting in a more resilient agricultural sector to cope with water scarcity and climate change effects.SUWANU EUROPE is based on a previous project of water treatment in Europe called SuWaNu: Sustainable Water treatment and Nutrient reuse options, which consisted in developing strategies based on water reuse projects to solve problems such as the scarcity or the availability of nutrients. However, SUWANU EUROPE has been conceived not only as an extension of former SuWaNu project activities but also as the creation of a new instrument based on an existing network to accelerate the uptake of research results in the field of water reuse in agriculture and water innovation in Europe.For that reason, the project will create Regional Working Groups between consortium members and relevant actors in 8 target regions that will work to spread the water recycle project findings. The objective is to establish permanent links - beyond the project timeframe - with relevant local actors, encouraging flow of information among researchers, private innovators, civil organizations and public administration.Currently our partners are: BIOAZUL, FENACORE, the National Federation of the Irrigators Communities in Spain, ASERSA (Spanish Association for Sustainable Water Reuse, WEARE (Water, Environmental, Agricultural and Resource Economics) from the University of Cordoba (UCO), The Technology Transfer Zentrum, Abwasserverband Braunschweig, ANETH S.A. (Development Agency of Thessaloniki), and more!
