The main goal of the project „ Closing local water circuits by recirculation nutrients and water and using them in nature” (acronym: ReNutriWater) is to reduce the risk of the potentially harmful impact of untreated waste water treatment plant (WWTP) effluent on the environment and human health. Moreover, project aims to develop solutions for the recovery of safe water, free from pathogens and micropollutants, with the right amount of nutrients.
Reclaimed water can be used by local authorities and private entities for various purposes, like street cleaning, carwashes, fountains and pond recharge, recreational area watering, plant breeding, and, after proper treatment, also for domestic use or drinking.
