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 ...

Hydrochip

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Background Surface water quality has been deteriorating in recent decades, due to the emission of chemical compounds (e.g. heavy metals, pesticides, nutrients and fertilisers), physical alterations (e.g. infrastructure, dams and fixed water levels) and the presence of harmful organisms such as cyanobacteria. Due to climate change, the latter is becoming a ...

Cradle to Cradle Islands (C2CI)

Start date: Dec 31, 2008, End date: Dec 30, 2012,

The project will focus on the development of new and sustainable energy-related technologies and strategies in islands around the North Sea Region. C2CI will develop and implement the cradle-to-cradle (C2C) methodology for NSR islands, i.e. designing intelligent products and materials that can be used over and over again and thus replace the concept of waste. Three development clusters that focus ...

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, ...
