Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'In order to be able to maximize the benefits from reuse and recycling technologies projects a larger systemic analysis of the environment is needed, an enlargement of the traditional narrow planning and management approaches, and a growing sensitivity to decision-making associated with multi-objective, multi-purpose actions and multi uses parameters. However, the problem is not centered on the lack of treatment techniques and technologies, but rather on how such schemes may become more efficient and implementable. COROADO will both develop new and adapt existing concepts and operational frameworks and produce a web-based toolbox for reuse and recycling technologies in the context of integrated water resources management, taking into account long-lasting changes, and at the same time addressing environmental and ecosystem integrity. Climate change and water scarcity in relation with the pertinent technologies will also be addressed. Thus, COROADO would focus on: a) Developing tools for analyzing reuse and recycling technologies and trade-offs b) Addressing non-linearity and resilience c) Promoting and organizing active participation of stakeholders and capacity building efforts. The web based Communication, Capacity Building and Research Tool will present a richer menu of options from assessment and planning to implementation, monitoring and evaluation The system will be designed so as to present critical information in an interesting and efficient manner, offering an engaging learning experience. The project will include deliberate efforts to ensure knowledge and capacity exchanges between the project sites, and among Latin American, European and other parts of the world facing similar conditions, by introducing exchanges based on research in the four study sites and generated outcomes with a strong emphasis in dissemination. The effort may develop an understanding of needed transitions of governance and policy systems in order to mainstream such water reuse and recycling technologies implementation, providing a continuous and appropriate set of guidelines, and manuals so that policy relevant standards may be applied by end users and policy makers and after the completion of COROADO, without any further support.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Researchers are building an online resource to help governments and policymakers choose sustainable ways of using water for agriculture and sanitation. This kind of water resource management has gained importance in light of a growing world population and climate change.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
There are many available options and technologies for water reuse and recycling, but these are often implemented poorly or incorrectly.
A thoroughly researched decision-making tool will provide valuable assistance in choosing and implementing the right water management schemes.With the support of EU funding, the http://coroado-project.eu (COROADO) project is creating such a solution in the form of an online toolbox.
The project aims to collect information on various recycling and reuse technologies, and will provide solutions for integrated water management in South America.
It will also focus on strategies to supply clean water to rural and agricultural areas.The online platform is being built using both open-source and commercial software, and includes databases of case studies and ecological indicators, a webGIS (geographical information systems) service and a user interface.
An online wiki that summarises the knowledge generated by the project complements the tool.
In addition, COROADO has produced an instruction manual for collecting data at study sites, as well as a list of important ecological indicators.
Other outputs include reports on available reuse and recycling technologies, and policies and strategies for sanitation and agriculture in South America.Another major outcome of COROADO will be a decision-making tool for assessing and improving water management.
Researchers have created a basic framework for the tool, and have started work on methods of risk analysis.
The COROADO solutions are expected to help governments, private companies and farmers to manage and reuse their water resources more effectively.
