Abstract
The LIFE HIDAQUA addresses water management in industrialized EU areas by tackling the following environmental problems: i) the depletion of natural drinking water sources, especially in areas facing water scarcity, ii) the low ecological and chemical status of natural water bodies due to the emissions of pollutants in industrial wastewater discharge, iii) burdening of the environment, especially natural water bodies, with the discharging of liquids and the landfilling of wastes from water treatment processes. According to the EU Commission, the frequency and extent of droughts has increased in recent years (about 11 % of the EU population and 17 % of its territory has been affected by water scarcity) causing costs amounting to at least 100 billion EUR over the last 30 years. By recycling/reclaiming treated industrial wastewater, the project will contribute to the EU's goal of increasing the recycling of water from the current 1 Billion m3 to more than 6 Billion m3 by 2025; this will alleviate the problem of water scarcity. Industrial wastewater, such as that from the automotive industry, is often burdened by difficult-to-biodegrade organic pollutants, e.g. phenols and mineral oils. These pollutants are not efficiently removed at conventional municipal wastewater treatment facilities, from which they are released into natural water bodies, thus representing a persistent threat to natural water environments. Emissions of contaminants in industrial wastewater are addressed by the Industrial Emissions Directive, which proposes the use of the best available technologies (BAT) for the elimination of the emissions of pollutants at their source, i.e. at the factory. This is well-aligned with the proposed project, which will make use of the latest state-of-the-art solutions in order to demonstrate the on-site treatment of industrial wastewater.
