Case Studies

To capture the full potential of the circular water economy, WATER-MINING proposes strategies for each of these three water forms, involving six sector-specific case studies (CS). The aim is to benchmark, refine and establish commercial implementation routes for the proposed approaches and technologies. The proposed strategies are carefully designed to reflect the different needs of water users.

Living labs

WATER-MINING aims to actively involve and engage with stakeholders from across the water value chain, with a particular emphasis on the agricultural, urban and industrial sectors. The creation of two living labs in Rotterdam (the Netherlands) and Almeria (Spain) will offer an engaging environment around the different innovations demonstrated.
