Aquafit4All proposal very well received by European Commission
Industry has a significant impact on the aquatic system. Legislation,
stringent discharge standards as well as process and product demands force
industry to ensure higher water quality corresponding to increasing costs.
Water consuming industry can no longer regard water as a consumable or
utility. The European “Water Industry” (technology suppliers and end-users)
requires knowledge and technologies to address and secure the identified
needs based on the work of the WSSTP. Although Europe has extensive
knowledge and experience of developing solutions in the field of water, the
fragmented character of the European water sector strongly limits its
potential. Therefore the Aquafit4All proposal aims to develop a new
management system including new approaches, tools, methods, and technologies
focusing on the four sectors with highest water consumption. The proposal
has been very well received by the European Commission. More information on
Aquafit4All will be available shortly.
