bringing coastal SUBsurface water SOLutions to the market (SUBSOL)
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2018,
Coastal areas are the most productive and economically dominant regions of the world. The high water demand in these regions, however, puts tremendous pressure on their freshwater resources and ecosystems. This leads to problems like seasonal water shortage, saltwater intrusion, and disappearance of wetlands. Building on national, regional and European research and innovation programs, in the past ...

Sustainable drinking water production from low quality ground water enabling flexible ground water management (SUSDRIGROW)
Start date: Dec 1, 2003, End date: Jun 30, 2006,
Background
Around 15 percent of the water used for domestic, industrial and agricultural consumption in Europe comes from ground water resources. However, this can result in the desiccation of elevated areas where there are sand-rich soils. Areas which are prone to desiccation can be found in the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, France, ...
