Sufficient supply of water of adequate quality is essential for human wellbeing as well as for sustainable regional development and for an intact environment. Excessive use and pollution and a still growing water demand worldwide represent major challenges concerning the availability of water resources. With water stress rising due to climate change impacts, achieving an increase in water availability through reuse and desalination is not only crucial for semi-arid and arid regions but also for traditionally more moderate climates.

The Webinar will feature innovative approaches and solutions for the reuse of treated municipal wastewater as an alternative resource to increase water availability and minimize the competition between different sectors such as municipalities, agriculture, and industry.

These solutions were developed in projects under the funding measure “Future-oriented Technologies and Concepts to Increase Water Availability by Water Reuse and Desalination – WavE” sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
