ZeroPollution4Water Cluster’s Post

The ZP4W Cluster is a collaborative force stemming from seven sister projects funded by the European Union. Our focus? Safeguarding water sources against pollution, advancing monitoring and treatment solutions, and protecting groundwater and drinking water quality against the challenges of global and climate change

United Nations elaborated in 2020 the Unconventional Water Resources report which states that unconventional water sources, like desalinated seawater and wastewater reuse, are key to fulfill the increasing demand gap. In this context, Water Positive initiatives allows to speed up and make viable projects for using unconventional water sources, linking committed water positive companies with end users in water-stressed areas. Water technology companies have a key role in promoting and making unconventional water source treatment process affordable, fortunatly this is start getting momentum but we still have to work harder to be quicker than climate change impact. Let's do it!!!

Did you know that seawater #desalination can help address water scarcity, but it also poses challenges due to its #energy demand and #brine discharge? Learn how researchers are working on reducing the environmental impact and extracting valuable resources from #seawater from our latest impact report: https://bit.ly/FII_DSL #Desalination #WaterScarcity #Innovation

The declining water tables and Day Zero scenarios are serious challenges that require immediate action. By conserving water, managing groundwater sustainably, adopting climate-resilient practices, raising public awareness, and fostering international cooperation, we can address the water crisis and ensure a sustainable water future for all. #dayzero #environment #waterconservation #waterefficiency Root Logix Academy

🌊 Are you interested in early warning systems and treatment solutions to protect water quality? If so, this is of interest! The ZeroPollution4Water Cluster has published the first version of their Case Study Inventory, which is now available for download. This comprehensive inventory provides an overview of 32 case studies from seven ZeroPollution4Water Cluster projects funded under Horizon Europe. These projects focus on preventing groundwater pollution and securing drinking water quality. The document includes a general description of each case study, detailing both the current state and the ambitious goals set for the end of the project. 👉 Access the document here: https://lnkd.in/dRkkWUDB #WaterQuality #ZeroPollution4Water #HorizonEurope #EnvironmentalProtection #Sustainability #Innovation

The theme this year is ‘Water for Peace’ pointing to the need for better water security, sustainable agricultural production, and environmental integrity. #water #sustainability #world #climatechange https://lnkd.in/dpAzA5rs

When we talk about footprint, do you think carbon? We tell you all about the Water Scarcity Footprint, which is also used to assess a yacht’s environmental impact, in Part 4 of our Environmental Indicators series! Directly impacting the environment by assessing water stress impact (WSI), this indicator helps examine how a particular water use (for the production of a product or solution) contributes to or exacerbates water scarcity in a given area. Think cradle-to-gate impact on a primary resource on planet earth! In yacht manufacturing, water consumption is significantly high for the extraction and production of materials. The WSI is thus essential for identifying and minimising water use in the production process. Stay tuned to hear about the final indicator used to assess environmental impact, & click here for a more in-depth explanation: https://lnkd.in/gJ6jwk-m Part 1: https://lnkd.in/eeAzNith Part 2: https://lnkd.in/gEtxDRYR Part 3: https://lnkd.in/e-jNrMwS Author: Laurie Foulon #waterrevolution #environmentalindicators #climatechange #globalwarming #ozonelayer #environmentalimpact #sulphur #particulatematter #nitrogen

Euronews: There is no alternative to Water 💧🚰 . We can’t drink sand or anything else “If we want to ensure that there's a future for Europe, you better get water right. Otherwise, forget about it. There's no fix for climate if we don't focus on water,” Henk Ovink, the Executive Director and founding Commissioner for the Global Commission on the Economics of Water, tells Euronews. The Euronews science correspondent Jeremy Wilks quizzed experts about water pollution, droughts, and floods and asked when we will wise up about water. He interviewed Henk Ovink, Dr. Florika Fink-Hooijer, the Director-General for Environment at the European Commission, and Arnaud Valleteau de Moulliac, the CEO of Veolia Water Technologies, a water treatment subsidiary of Veolia group. As Europe becomes increasingly concerned over water pollution, it is also becoming increasingly scarce. Yet demand is at an all-time high, with estimations that demand will double by 2030. Our water comes from both within Europe – blue water from rivers and lakes – and from outside the continent – green water that travels through plants and rain – and ensuring the cleanliness of both sources is crucial. It's crucial for the hydrological cycle, for biodiversity, food and the economy: water is the basis from which all our lives depend. “There is no alternative,” Ovink says. “You can’t drink sand or anything else.” The full article or a video: https://lnkd.in/dXvmPUcw #EU #GreenWeek #water #blueactivity

World Water Day 2024 🌊 On March 22, the United Nations celebrate World Water Day. This day is dedicated to water as the essential resource for all life – and is more than ever a reminder of the global challenges associated with it. As a company in the environmental sector and a global leader in products and solutions for wastewater treatment, drinking water supply and sludge treatment, we at HUBER see ourselves committed to the environment and natural resources. First and foremost, of course, to water, the most important resource of our time. And we're taking responsibility: For the sustainable use of water, energy and the environment. Today – tomorrow – and in the future. #WasteWaterSolutions #HUBER #WorldWaterDay #Weltwassertag #water #wasser #waterindustry #wastewater #wastewatertreatment #technology #UnitedNations #SDG6
