An institutional analysis framework to close the regional water cycle

Climate change and urbanization put increasing stress on urban water management (UWM). Prolonged periods of drought in densely populated areas threaten the quantity and quality of freshwater sources. Closing the water cycle by wastewater reuse can alleviate pressure on these freshwater sources. However, a closed water system requires a different...

The Freshwater Factory: removing organic micro-pollutants with ozonation

Removing organic micro-pollutants (OMPs) can enable wastewater reuse to alleviate pressure on fresh water sources. This research aims on the prediction of OMP removal efficiencies by ozonation and biofiltration based on experimental data sets and/or modelling. Comparison of experimental data on average OMP removal of three different studies from...
