Sustainable technologies and concepts to increase water availability through water reuse and desalination (Wave) –

The development of alternative water resources through reuse and desalination along with sustainable use and management concepts for various requisitions can make a significant contribution to the reduction in the above discrepancy between increasing water consumption and a limited- water supply on the other.

A specifically designed to help water reuse process design of technical water systems as well as industrial and urban water cycle contributes to the conservation of natural water resources. In the industrial sector resource efficiency can also be increased by between enterprise resource exchange in the water and material use. The desalination of saline groundwater and surface water makes increasing contributions to overcome the shortage of water.

Desalination of saline groundwater and surface water makes increasing contributions to overcome the shortage of water.
The funding measure is therefore a contribution to sustainable water management on the one hand , to meet the sustainable development goals (Sustainable Development Goals , SDG ) and secondly to improve the position of German companies in these areas , while upholding international responsibility is to be made ​​. In this case , the establishment of reference projects to demonstrate advanced technologies and concepts in the domestic market in terms of the international positioning of German technology providers and the transfer of results to other countries is an important aspect.
