ABOUT THE PROJECT

Due to climate change, periods of drought are becoming more frequent in the Baltic Sea Region and drinking water, which is mainly obtained from groundwater here, can get scarce in certain periods. For that reason it will be necessary to use water of different qualities and to tap into other sources of “usable water” in the future.
WaterMan project supports municipalities and water companies in adapting their strategies. A region-specific approach to water recycling uses the alternation of too much and too little water, which has become typical in the Baltic Sea Region, to make the local water supply more resilient.

PROJECT GOALS & APPROACH

Overall goal:

• To promote reuse of water (along with other alternative sources) in order to make water supply in the Baltic Sea Region more climate resilient

Approach:

• Capacity building at local level (municipalities, water companies)

Final outcome:

• BSR Water Reuse Toolbox that can be used by municipalities & water companies to start up own activities for water reuse
