Contact person: Lina Lindahl
Purpose and objectives
The aim of this project is to investigate how recycled water and alternative water sources can be integrated into a future sustainable and resilient water supply. There are many different ways to reuse water and the most cost-effective, resource-efficient and resilient solutions vary according to local conditions. This project intends to explore this complexity from a systems perspective.
Expected impacts and results
The project is expected to result in a vision for Sweden’s future use and systems for recycled water. The project also defines which system changes are needed and which actions are prioritized to implement in the next step to drive development. The long-term effect of the project is that recycled water and alternative water sources effectively contribute to society’s water supply when it is reasonable based on resource use and cost.
Planned approach and implementation
The project brings together a broad group of actors in Sweden from academia, society and industry with significant knowledge in recycled water. Through a series of meetings, we jointly define the current situation and goals, as well as the areas that are most urgent to address to remove obstacles and support development.
