SUMMARY.

URBAN_WFTP – Description.

Environment modification, a growing globe population, as well as commercial air pollution are just several of the variables resulting in a boosted discussion on the accessibility of fresh water for our future. The European Union identified water to be a key resource for the sustainable development of its countries as well as is establishing specific procedures and regulations to sustain the diffusion of environmentally friendly modern technologies as well as practices. As over 75% percent of the European populace stay in urbanised locations, there is a requirement to act at metropolitan level with regards to both practices and also modern technologies in view of European water policy.

The task URBAN WFTP concentrates on water network administration in urbanised locations with an open possibility to improve presently made use of technologies as well as integrate cutting-edge tools for tracking, handling water networks, top quality of water ensuring along time and waste water’s treatments. In order to accomplish this goal, the Water Footprint strategy represents an option for much better water administration and use of water. The project entails nine partners originating from 5 countries, including colleges experienced in the application of Water Impact method, districts able to establish local plans and advancement techniques in addition to firms experienced in water management organisation, specialised in technology transfer and dissemination.

  • PURPOSES.
  • OBJECTIVES.
  • URBAN_WFTP – Purposes.

RESULT.

ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES.

URBAN_WFTP – Expected Result.

The job will add to the implementation of eco-friendly activities in main Europe. Advertising the application of the Water Footprint technique will enable towns to better define eco-friendly policies, strategies and methods by quantifying the environmental benefits of the intro of new technologies and tasks. By supporting the eco-friendly innovations once again via utilizing the Water Footprint approach the most efficient technologies as well as practices can be recognized in city areas.

Furthermore, with close teamwork of companions and an extensive exchange of expertise the diffusion and also the use of eco-friendly innovations for neighborhood and regional vendors of facilities will be ensured. The global interpretation of common techniques will certainly contribute to promote transnational motivations (awarding plans, best-practice web-platforms, certification) for water eco-innovations.
