Identification, quantification and elimination of emerging contaminants in river basins
Innovative control systems for cyanobacteria proliferation in Sudoe water bodies
Pilot 2a: Electro-stimulated wetland and infiltration pond for sustainable treatment and indirect reuse through managed aquifer recharge at the Fontiveros WWTP (Ávila, Spain). The system
Pilot 3: Solar Photoreactor, based on the direct conversion of radiation to produce chemical species, for the decontamination and disinfection of wastewater at the Pau-Lescar
The objective of this pilot activity is to test the applicability of the TARGET Strategy method at local level, in the municipalities of Granollers and Barreiro. The test procedures and methodologies will have been prepared in advance by CESEEAP. It will be implemented in accordance with the 4 pillars of the Strategy and in compliance with its 3 principles. It will allow solutions tested by project partners and associated partners to be implemented, after critical analysis and adaptation, in other contexts, at the level of local authorities (in particular work on nature-based solutions of AMAYA and ECF). The action will culminate in the development of an action programme for the optimisation of Reut in Granollers and prospective scenarios for water management in Barreiro. The program will allow, for each sector and use in the municipality of Granollers, to indicate whether it is necessary to optimise the RANCs and the resources to be deployed (actors, techniques and financing). The prospective scenarios studied for water management in Barreiro will expose the advantages and disadvantages of ENCs for the preservation of the resource and the environment. Once the implementation of the pilot action has been assessed by the CESEEAP, a methodological guide for the implementation of the TARGET strategy at local level will be developed. It will contain the tools and methods for applying the principles (efficient use, RANC, innovation) and pillars of the Strategy (current situation, consultation, forecasting, action plan) at local level. The action programme will be adopted by the Granollers authorities, and a forward-looking scenario will be adopted by the Barreiro authorities. Sessions will then be organised to present the approved TARGET strategy and feedback on the pilot action.
3 demonstrators created during the project in France, Spain and Portugal. These sites will be the result of the NB-Woll (Water-Oriented Living Labs) strategy aimed at finding the best combination of demand and innovation with the help of 3 Woll (platform). Its design will be based on water demand (quality/quantity), context (uses, locations, stakeholder sensitivity) and regulations. These demonstrators will be adopted by the 3 local authorities responsible for public procurement.
Pilot 1a: Reverse osmosis system in Tiñosillos (Spain) for the removal of nitrates, pesticides, and contaminants, combined with 3D-printed electrochemical reactors and renewable energy sources to produce ozone and disinfect water.
Pilot 1b: Nanofiltration system in Nogales (Spain) for the reduction of trihalomethanes and disinfection by-products, combined with 3D technology for ozone production.
Pilot 1c: Pilot reverse osmosis plant in Elvas (Portugal) designed for the removal of arsenic in areas with high contamination levels.
The GT2 contains the demonstration of 3 pilot actions (in large blocks, although they would be more considering the small variations) that implement new devices and offer new services in different areas of the SUDOE. All of them have an experimental and demonstrative character. Its monitoring (A.2.4) will make it possible to test, evaluate and demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of its application. The results and practices of these pilot actions will be exploited and transferred to other institutions and territories through A.2.5. Collaboration between all partners will be indispensable, enabling pilot actions to be jointly developed and operated in different countries. All of them will be completed during the implementation of the project sufficiently in advance to allow the exploitation and evaluation of the demonstrative character during the project.
