FP6 – Global Change and Ecosystems: Results of the call Targeted Third Countries

Within the area "Water cycle and Soil related aspects" immediate negotiation has been opened with the consortium applying for an extension of the RECLAIM WATER project. The project is addressing municipal water reclamation and further use for aquifer recharge (AR) considering appropriate technologies, safety aspects and options for integration in water management approaches. The extension of the project focuses on affordable and simple reclamation technologies like primary treatment and maturation ponds that are based on the long term experience of the AR schemes in Mexico City and South Africa. Moreover investigations on advanced dual membrane systems (MF and RO) of the Newater's brine treatment are the main contributions from the Singapore's new partners.
The overall project budget is about 6 M€, including an EC grant of 3,56 M€.
