Wastewater and nutrient reuse

The wastewater reuse is a good practice, still low spread in Europe. This is due to a number of barriers, in particular legislative (especially in Italy) and cultural ones. A number of environmental and economic benefits could be reached with greater reuse of wastewater.

In line with circular economy principles, IRIDRA proposes, anytime is possible to, solutions voted to the reuse of wastewater, which would be better to be called "resource-water" due to the number of precious resources included into, not only water but, for instance, nutrients for crops and carbon for soils.

Advantages

  • more water left to rivers and groundwater
  • less water pollution
  • reuse of nutrients and carbon in agriculture and re-inclusion of them in natural biogeochemical cycles
