A short summary of the project:The ACQWA project is a 5-year
project under EU FP7 that began in October 2008. It is made up of a
37-partner consortium from 11 European countries, and 3
non-European countries (Chile and Argentina, and Kyrgyzstan). The
project addresses the vulnerability of water resources in mountain
regions where snow and ice are a major component of the
hydrological cycle. Indeed, water in these regions will be
vulnerable in a warmer climate because of reduced volumes of snow
and ice. The project is based on the use, the refinement, and the
development of numeri-cal models to help understand interlinks
between climate system components, in particular climate,
hydrology, snow and ice, and vegetation, and to predict the
evolution of these systems over the next 50 years. In addition, the
ACQWA project conducts assessments of the potential impacts of
changes in hydrological regimes on extreme events, the energy
sector (hydropower), agriculture and tourism. Advance estimations
of impacts in terms of water availability, seasonality and
qual-ity, will help in the identification of possible rivalries
among economic actors, in the context of a resource that may become
rarer in a warmer climate and thus to assess how such conflicts
could be resolved through improved water governance. The AC-QWA
project will also draft proposals for adaptation options in order
to minimize the more adverse climate-generated risks. In this
context, policy makers should also be aware that changing patterns
of climate in mountain areas can alter hydrology not only in the
source regions but far downstream. The upstream-downstream (in
terms of water) and upland-lowland (in terms of economic
development) implica-tions of water resources originating in
mountains will undoubtedly be a key to suc-cessful adaptation
options.

The overarching topics the project addresses:2. Surface water5.
Water resources management
A short summary of the project:AG_UAS is a Life project engaged
in sustainable water management on a regional level via Unmanned
Aerial System-based Aerial Teledetection (UAS). Its objective is to
show the technical-economic feasibility of a new Aerial
Teledetection methodol-ogy, to improve global water management and
contribute to its sustainable use.
It proposes to provide solutions to the problems that exist with
respect to the use of water in: Resource utilisation (efficiency of
hydraulic infrastructures, irrigation op-timisation, etc.), Safety
of mine exploitation storage facilities, Resource protection
(dumping, thermal pollution, etc.), Efficient control of the water
status and Water resource inventory. To do this, a technology that
already exists (UAS- VTOL) will be developed to offer us spatial
information (images).
The missions will be executed within a demonstration plan that
will include more than 140 demonstration flights, which will be
carried out on surface water masses, irrigated land and
infrastructures of the Foral Community of Navarra, seeking the most
representative points of these infrastructures.
The main objectives of the project:• To test two innovative
airborne remote sensing systems, with (i) a high resolution thermal
infrared camera and (ii) a multispectral camera – both using an
unmanned helicopter as an aerial platform;• To demonstrate the
economical and technical feasibility of the tool, particularly in
the fields of: (i) detection of leaks and seepage in hydraulic
infrastructures and waste storage facilities, (ii) identification
of water needs in irrigated fields, (iii) de-tection of discharges
into river basins, (iv) detection of thermal pollution in water
masses (v) monitoring of the ecological and chemical status of
surface waters, and (vi) detection of springs and water extraction
for inventory purposes.

The overarching topics the project addresses:2. Waste waterThe
treatment of olive washing water with a photobioreactor and a
membrane module for its reuse in the production process
A short summary of the project:ALGATEC is a “Research for SME”
project funded under the FP7 Programmeof the European Commission
with a duration of 28 months. Its ob-jective is to develop a
cost-efficient system for the on-site treatmentand reuse of washing
water generated in small-medium olive oil mills, with high
pollutant content, by means of an affordable and compact
photobioreactor using microalgae followed by a membrane module,
capable to reuse the majority of the drinkable water used in the
process of olives washing. Furthermore, both economical and
environmental benefits would be achieved by solving the the problem
of the disposal of wastewater from olive oil mills, re-using the
washing water and therefore reducing the overall volume of
waste-water generated. The current methods of wastewater disposal
increase the overall production costs, and additionally they are
also environmentally unac-ceptable and extremely inefficient in
terms of water use. Thus, the proposed project aimed for the
participating SMEs to improve their competitive posi-tion opening a
market of about 12,000 olive oil producers only in Europe.
To achieve the project objectives, ALGATEC created a procedure
for the treatment and reuse of washing water from the olive
cleaning process. The ALGATEC system included the pre-treatment of
the washing water (preliminary filtration), the main treatment
based on the photobioreactor using microalgae and the last
treatment based on membrane filtration.

CTSHEET
The main objectives of the project:Overall objectives:• To
provide an affordable technical solution for reducing the
consumption of drink-able water in the olives washing process by 90
% and increasing the overall water efficiency of the process by 80
%.• To diminish the overall effluent of polluted water produced in
olive oil mills, reduc-ing the wastewater management costs and the
environmental impact of wastes.• To increase the competitiveness of
the participant SMEs and the European olive oil industry through a
cost-effective WW treatment and an improved water man-agement.
Scientific and technological objectives:• To establish a
cost-effective wastewater treatment and drinkable water recycling
system for olives washing water.• To build two prototypes of the
photobioreactor using microalgae, adapting a pat-ented technology
to the specific needs of the treatment of the olive oil washing
wastewater.• To collect information about the main requirements for
the system to be installed in the end-user industry, analysing the
overall situation of producers in different EU countries (i.e.
production amount and duration, WW). Socio-economic objectives:• To
reduce production costs in the olive oil sector through recycling
and reutilisa-tion of water (increased water efficiency).• To
answer the current need of increasing the sustainability of
European agricul-tural sectors by implementing a solution that will
enhance the current water and wastewater management systems.• To
enable the olive oil producers in Europe keep its leadership in the
olive oil mar-ket, with non-European countries entering the
market.• To increase employment in the sector by capacity building
in state-of-the-art technologies and creation of new jobs in the
design and construction of the pro-posed systems.

EET The main results the project already achieved:During the
project, it has been demonstrated that both the lab and field-scale
plants
have been efficient in removing the pollution load of olive mill
washing water and producing water of drinking quality
(bacteriological analysis were beyond the ac-ceptable for potable
water), that could be re-used within an olive mill. Therefore, the
technical objectives were achieved as foreseen. This achievement
would solve, at least partially, the problem associated to the
disposal of WW from olive mills, re-ducing the overall volume of
wastewater, with both economical and environmental benefits. The
commercial system investment costs are expected to be significantly
lower than those of the pilot plant and could be easily justify a
short payback period. The O&M costs were a bit higher compared
to the common adopted method of open evaporation ponds.
Nevertheless, there is room for decreasing them when optimising
some operational parameters and working with fresh WW. In addition,
authorities are looking for alternative methods to evaporation
ponds due the prob-lems they generated. Moreover, the EU Directives
are more and more strict on the allowed management routes of such
wastes. Last but not least, the price of potable water is expected
to be higher in the future, especially in the most important
pro-ducing countries. Pre-competitive results were obtained during
the ALGATEC which are a robust base for the further development of
a commercial competitive solution. In a near future market, the
ALGATEC technology will be considered as an alternative solution
for the reuse of WW in the food industry.
The main deliverables, available dissemination material and
education mate-rial from the project:The project was focused on the
SMEs and the material developed was quite gen-eral to avoid any
conflict with the commercial interests of the SMEs. The material
produced is uploaded in the Public Library of the algatec website,
under ALGATEC documents (poster and flyers)
Dissemination activities and events planned within the
project:None, the project ended in August 2011.

A short summary of the project:Sustainable water use in industry
is the goal of AquaFit4Use, leading to a substan-tial reduction of
fresh water needs and environmental impact in an economic way.
The overall objectives of AquaFit4Use are: The development and
implementation of new, reliable, cost-effective technologies, tools
and methods for sustainable water supply, use and discharge in the
main water consuming industries paper, food, textiles and chemistry
in order to significantly reduce water use, mitigate environmental
impact and produce and apply water qualities in accordance with
industrial own specifications (fit-for-use) from all possible
sources, and contributing to a far-going closure of the water cycle
in a economical, sustainable and safe way while improving their
product quality and process stability.
Water fit-for-use is the basis for sustainable water use; the
integrated approach a must. Tools will be developed to define and
control water quality. The heart of AquaFit4Use however is the
development of new cross-sectorial technologies, with a focus at
biofouling and scaling prevention, the treatment of saline streams,
disinfection and the removal of specific substances. By intensive
co-operation between the industries, the knowledge and the
technologies developed in this project will be broadly transferred
and implemented.

The overarching topics the project addresses:Wave Energy
ConversionWater-hydraulic Power Take-Off System
A short summary of the project:A power take-off system (PTO)
that uses water hydraulics for fluid power is being developed for
offshore wave energy converters (WEC) as an environmentally
acceptable alternative to conventional hydraulic oils. The PTO
system, called AquaGen, brings together a consortium of European
SMEs, engineering consultants and researchers who together will
develop and deploy a prototype system onto an existing WEC. The
benefits of the AquaGen approach are:• Improved energy conversion•
Increased availability and so extended periods between maintenance•
Reduced operating costs• Reduced risk of environmental damage due
to unexpected leakage of the hydraulic fluid.
These challenges require the AquaGen PTO to develop a number of
innovative designs that include a novel light weight elastomeric
power take-off system, a variable speed electricity generator and
an adaptive blade turbine
The main objectives of the project:• Design, build and test a
novel water-based hydraulic Power Take-Off system (PTO). Integrate
the hydraulic system with a new design of variable pitch turbine
that con-verts the fluid power through the turbine into
electricity.• Install and test a scaled version of the PTO on an
existing wave energy device to test its performance.

A short summary of the project:AQUAREHAB is a EU financed large
scale research project (FP7) that is being coor-dinated by VITO
involving a consortium of 19 partners. The project started 1st May
2009 and will last 56 months until 2013. The project will develop
innovative rehabilitation technologies for soil, ground-water and
surface water to cope with a number of different priority
contaminants (nitrates, pesticides, chlorinated compounds, aromatic
compounds, mixed pollu-tions…) within heavily degraded water
systems. Methods will be developed to determine the (long-term)
impact of the innovative rehabilitation technologies to reduce
pollution to river and groundwater receptors. The project will
promote the uptake of successful technologies for use in river
basin management measures. One of the major outcomes of the project
will be a generic river basin management tool that assesses the
ecological and economical impact of rehabilitation technologies on
the water system at both local and regional scales. The main
objectives of the project:Within the AQUAREHAB project, different
innovative rehabilitation technologies for soil, groundwater and
surface water will be developed to cope with a number of hazardous
(nitrates, pesticides, chlorinated and aromatic compounds, mixed
pol-lutions, ) within heavily degraded water systems. The
technologies are activated riparian zones/wetlands; smart biomass
containing carriers for treatment of water in open trenches;
in-situ technologies to restore degraded surface water by
inhibit-ing influx of pollutants from groundwater to surface water;
multifunctional perme-able barriers and injectable Fe-based
particles for rehabilitation of groundwater.

Methods will be developed to determine the (long-term) impact of
the innovative rehabilitation technologies on the reduction of the
influx of these priority pollut-ants towards the receptor.
A connection between the innovative technologies and river basin
management will be worked out. In a first stage of the project, the
technologies and integration of their impact in river basin
management will be developed in three different river basins
(Denmark, Israel, Belgium). In a second stage, the generic
approaches will be extrapolated to one or two more river basins.
One of the major outcomes of the project will be a generic river
basin management tool that integrates multiple measures with
ecological and economic impact assessments of the whole water
system. The research in the project is focused on innovative
rehabilitation strate-gies to reduce priority pollutants in the
water system whereas the generic manage-ment tool will include
other measures related to flood protection, water scarcity and
ecosystem health.
The project will aid in underpinning river basin management
plans being devel-oped in EU Member States, and will demonstrate
cost effective technologies that can provide technical options for
national and local water managers, planners and other stakeholders
(drinking water companies, industry, agriculture.

The overarching topics the project addresses:5. Water resources
management7. Monitoring and analysis8. Drinking water
A short summary of the project:The project was a preparatory
study for the development of a low-cost water qual-ity test and
associated management systems for use in developing countries and
in disasters/emergencies. The goal of the project was to lay the
foundations for a subsequent grant application to develop a water
test with associated management systems for use in developing
countries and emergency situations. The project aimed to
demonstrate to policy makers, donors and research funding
organisations that there is an urgent and clear need to provide a
low cost water test. Following an assessment of developing country
and disaster relief needs, the formation of a network of experts
was designed to address these needs. The project aimed to
es-tablish how an appropriate water test could be developed from
existing technolo-gies in the near term. A follow-on funding
application to develop this water test was then submitted based on
these activities.
The main objectives of the project:A. To assess the needs of
developing countries and disaster-response agencies for
microbiological testing of drinking water. B. To prepare a full
specification to research, develop and implement a low cost wa-ter
test, together with the associated management systems, data
collection, com-munications and reporting, to facilitate the
monitoring of access to safe drinking water in developing
countries. C. To bring together a network of specialists to prepare
the needs assessment and specification. D. To develop a network of
stakeholders having interests in the use of a low cost water test.
E. To demonstrate a strong business case for funding the full
development of the test and to submit.

Methods of Raising Public Participation and Awareness •
Information regarding the Aquatest project has been disseminated to
the gen-eral public through two separate press-releases and an
interview of Dr. Stephen Gundry on ITV-West News show. First press
release by the American Association for the Advancement of Science
(AAAS) following the Jan. 2007 Aquatest work-shop held at the AAAS
headquarters in Washington, DC. Second press-release and Dr.
Gundry’s television interview in Nov. 2007 announcing the follow-up
funding for the Aquatest program from the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation.
Overview of Project Dissemination Activities:• Project web site:
The website was visited from 5,234 separate, resolvable IP
ad-dresses during 2007, which means that it has been viewed by at
least this many visitors during this period. The actual number of
visitors is likely to be more than this, since several individuals
may access the website from the same IP address could not be
identified when tracking visitors to the site.• Posters and flyers:
In August 2006, USOTON and AQUAYA developed a flyer and envelope to
disseminate the project. This flyer was distributed at all
subsequent conferences and events, at a United Nations meeting
attended by Prof. Dave Gor-don (University of Bristol) and at two

project. USOTON and AQUAYA developed two
posters to disseminate the project, one being a 2-panel design
and the other an A1 format poster. These were used at several of
the conferences attended during the project.• Workshops and
conference presentations: The project disseminated the Aquat-est
concept to researchers, policy makers, and industry via a series of
conference presentations. Events were chosen so as to maximise
global coverage, and included the WARFSA conference (ZA), the WEDC
conference (South Asia), the L2L confer-ence (Europe) and the IWA –
Health Related Microbiology conference (South-East Asia). We also
organised a workshop at the IWA World Water Congress in Beijing,
which is described in greater detail in our report for deliverable
D5, and a work-shop at the American Association for the Advancement
of Science (AAAS) (North America). In addition to introducing the
Aquatest program to water quality experts in US government
institutions and Universities, the AAAS workshop provided an
opportunity to discuss Aquatest with policy makers focused on
science, technology and international development. • Newsletters:
USOTON and AQUAYA designed two newsletters, outlining project
activities and issues related to the test development. These
newsletters were made available via the website and e-mailed to our
network of experts and stakeholders, as described above. • With the
exception of the newsletter described above, future dissemination
ac-tivities have taken place largely through the follow-on
Aquatest2 project, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
(e.g. see Aquatest website).

The overarching topics the project addresses:1. Groundwater5.
Water resources management8. Drinking water 14. Water
technologies17. Water consumption
A short summary of the project:The A.S.A.P. project involves the
hydrological district of Pontedera (Pisa, Tuscany, IT) facing a
serious and pressing environmental problem – the Bientina aquifer
crisis.
The demand of drinkable water is increasing. In order to satisfy
this demand, more and more water is pumped; consequently, the water
level of many abstracting are-as is lowering. When recharging
capacity is exceeded, the resource is overexploited. If demand is
also highly variable and if the supply networks are uneven, the
prob-ability of pipe failures, water leakage and abstraction, will
increase. In these cases, preventive rehabilitation does not help
unless the dynamic efficiency of the supply net is improved.
Financial resources for major maintenance rely on the supply net
for its refurbishment and are often not available. Frequent
investments are barely enough to ensure corrective maintenance of
infrastructures. A.S.A.P. aimed to cut down leakages and to reduce
water abstraction. The idea is to have dynamic flow/pressure
regulation based on a reliable model of the supply network which
allows focusing on early detection and remediation of leakages.
This also ensures a bet-ter response to fluctuations in demand or
in keeping displacements in abstraction at minimum. In order to
most efficiently allocate scarce water resources, a reduced amount
of pumping needs must be combined with a valid aquifer model.
The main objectives of the project:The objectives of the
A.S.A.P. project have been finalized to demonstrate, in a
repre-sentative scale, the economically viable and technical
possibilities of a Protocol to protect an aquifer from changes that
could modify its characteristics.

groundwater pumping by 10% and reduc-ing energy consumption by 10%.
These goals range from: inverting the negative, lowering trend of
freshwater head (from -0.5meter/year to +0.5 meter/year), to
reducing the probabilities of freshwater being contaminated by low
quality water and pollutants reaching the aquifer; to avoiding the
gradual sinking of land (sub-sidence) and deterioration of wetlands
with consequent damage to the ecosys-tems; to diminishing pumping
to a minimum while ensuring that citizens always have enough water
of good quality also in case of seasonal fluctuations.

organizations 3. Policy sector 4. Private sector – business5.
General public
The main results the project already achieved:• The A.S.A.P.
project produced a reduction of 15% of total losses (NRW/Non
Rev-enue Water) cutting down from 9.37 to 7.93 million cubic meters
(average yearly data 2005 -2008).• Abstraction from the endangered
aquifer decreased by 8.3% comparing the last available data (2008)
with pre-ASAP data (2005); this reduction accounts for 1.5 million
cubic meters by year (equivalent to the annual medium consumption
of 11.000 average families).• As a result, the lowering trend of
the water head has reversed and since then the monitoring values
recorded exhibit a constant increase. The water level in the
sam-ple well (well 14 Central 2 of Bientina) raised from – 9.21 m
(annual average 2005) to – 8.92 m (annual average 2008) with an
increase of + 0.3 m. In the surrounding area, piezometric level
increase has been recorded, in the range between 0.5 and 1 m. In
one case the piezometric level raised of 2.8 m (comparing
piezometric levels between 2002 and 2008).• An instrumentation
allowing continuous monitoring of the piezometric level of the
aquifer and of the supply network has been designed and implemented
through a digital model that allows to detect leaks promptly and to
control and set pressures at the minimum needed.• The whole process
has been documented, submitted to the evaluation of ex-perts and
translated in a protocol (the A.S.A.P. Protocol) which is now
available to policy makers , technicians engaged in water sector,
to the managers involved in water management and more in general
for spatial planning. The results of the project have been
presented to these key actors during two international meet-ings in
Pisa (IT) and A Coruña (ES).

• The workers involved in the project have increased their
skills. At the same time leak detection have evolved becoming a
less hazardous while more effective job thanks to the new methods
introduced.
The main deliverables, available dissemination material and
education mate-rial from the project:• The A.S.A.P. Protocol is the
principal tool to make A.S.A.P. work fruitful and reus-able, thus
allowing others to benefit from its experience, investments and
results at European level. • For citizens, the A.S.A.P. Protocol is
an additional instrument for participating ac-tively to the
governance of water. For policy makers who work on spatial
planning, for technicians and experts of the water sector and for
managers of the public and private water supply companies, the
A.S.A.P. Protocol is an option that should be considered for
implementation whenever reasonable.• The A.S.A.P. Protocol has been
validated by a group of experts of the Water Tech-nology Institute
of the University of Valencia (Spain) led by Prof. Enrique Cabrera
Marcet and it is now freely available on the Internet. This
document explains the basic steps needed to implement the A.S.A.P.
approach in other cases where an aq-uifer is at risk, or when
foresighted politicians and decision makers plan to prepare
themselves to face the uncertainties about water availability in a
global heating and climatic change perspective.• The international
debate led by the Technological Institute of Galicia (ITG)
sug-gested that the potential area of A.S.A.P. Protocol
implementation covers at least the coastal zones of the
Mediterranean Sea.• The Association of Water Supply Industries in
Tuscany (Italy) included the A.S.A.P. Protocol within its
guidelines for major network rehabilitation projects.• You can
easily download dissemination materials from the A.S.A.P.
website.

The overarching topics the project addresses:2. Surface water5.
Water resources management18. Other: mathematical modelling, remote
sensing
A short summary of the project:Recent droughts observed in these
basins call for the need of an efficient technol-ogy to predict
medium and long-term flows for sustainable water resources
man-agement. The project developed appropriate mathematical models
to represent snow-pack dynamics and snowmelt runoff. These models
have been designed to integrate Earth Observation data and in-situ
hydrological and meteorological measurements, introducing therefore
a novel approach to the representation of the involved physical
processes in time and space.
Model innovation stems with the enhanced capability of Earth
Observation data to provide continuous information on state
variables that can be poorly accounted for using the traditional
approach based on input-output control. Model calibration,
validation and demonstration have been performed for representative
catchments of different geographic conditions (climate, geology,
geomorphology, hydrogra-phy) in the European Alps. Models have been
implemented in a geo-service for tailoring data and models to
different environments under an integrated, but mod-ulated approach
capable of effective addressing the specific problems raising from
different stakeholders, these including water policy makers,
economic (hydropower companies, irrigation schemes, municipal water
supply), and social (regional, basin and municipal authorities,
citizens) stakeholders. The geo-service, fully compliant with the
architecture of the Inspire initiative, is capable of coupling
global and local data to compute, archive, upgrade and distribute
snow derived information.
The main objectives of the project:The aim of the AWARE project
is to provide innovative tools for monitoring and predicting of
water availability and distribution in those drainage basins
wheresnowmelt is a major component of the annual water balance, a
common condition in Alpine catchments.

The overarching topics the project addresses:1. Groundwater
A short summary of the project:This project is a contribution to
the global European effort which focuses on the sharing of a
community approach of Water Management and a common implementation
of the Water Framework Directive. This latter requires Member
States to assess the “Status” of their water bodies at the
beginning of each river basin management plan (RBMP) cycle, that is
every six years. The “Status” is to be assessed against
predetermined quality and quantity criteria and for quality these
are referred to as “Threshold Values”. The GWDD and Annex II (Part
B) set out when Threshold Values (TV) should be established. A
Threshold Value should only be determined for a pollutant which is
causing the groundwater body, or an associated surface water body
/terrestrial ecosystem to be characterised as “at risk” and a
minimum list of potential pollutant substances has been agreed.
The overall aim of BRIDGE has been to develop and test a method
for the derivation of these pollutant threshold values for
groundwater bodies in support of the Status provisions of the Water
Framework Directive (WFD) and the Groundwater Daughter Directive
(GWDD). The project has been carried out at European level,
involving a range of stakeholders and efficiently linking the
scientific and policy-making communities.
The main objectives of the project:The specific objectives of
BRIDGE were:• to evaluate and assemble scientific outputs to set
out criteria for the assessment of the chemical status of
groundwater. These criteria are data for characterisation of
nat-ural and anthropogenic pollutants, parameters indicative for
pollution, data for char-acterisation of groundwater bodies as
hydrologic and hydro-geological parameters,• to derive a plausible
general approach, how to structure relevant criteria appropriately
with the aim to set representative groundwater threshold values
scien-tifically sound and defined at national river basin district
or groundwater body level,

The overarching topics the project addresses:1. Drinking water2.
Waste water6. Marine water7. Others, specified: Industrial
exhaust/flue gasWater vapour capture in industrial plants – a new
source of water
A short summary of the project:One of the major challenges of
this century is the provision of water for a growing population and
the industry. The shortage in water resources in arid areas
requires the availability of more efficient and cheaper water
production processes. In some regions like the Middle East water is
even more important than energy production. A large source of water
is found in the form of evaporated water emitted from dif-ferent
industrial processes. If for example 20% of the evaporated water
from the flue gas stream of a coal fired power plant would be
captured, the plant would be self sufficient from a process water
point of view.
The objective within the European Integrated project CapWa is to
produce a com-mercially available membrane modular system suitable
for industrial applications within 3-4 years. The produced demin
water from this system should be competi-tive with existing demin
water technologies. The starting point will be the water va-pour
selective composite membranes that are developed in the proof of
principle project. The proof of principle project showed that
energy efficiency can also be achieved. In CapWa the modular
membrane system will be developed and tested in a cooling tower and
the flue gas duct of a gas- and coal-fired power plant. To be
competitive with existing demin production lines, the production of
the mem-branes and the construction of the end system will be
efficient and user friendly.
The main objectives of the project:Production of a commercially
available membrane modular system suitable for industrial
applications within 3-4 years which is competitive with current
demin water technologies.
