Abstract
Future-oriented technologies and concepts to increase water availability by water reuse and desalination
Highlights
The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) realized these needs at an early stage and launched the major funding initiative ‘WavE’ in 2016 entitled ‘Future-oriented Technologies and Concepts to Increase Water Availability by Water Reuse and Desalination’ within the framework program ‘Research for Sustainable Development (FONA)’ and the research agenda on Green Economy
Water reuse and desalination are viable options for alternative water supplies, for regions that had no need to consider these approaches in the past
WavE is aimed at developing innovative technologies and management concepts to foster a sustainable increase in water availability
Summary
The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) realized these needs at an early stage and launched the major funding initiative ‘WavE’ (www.bmbf-wave.de/en) in 2016 entitled ‘Future-oriented Technologies and Concepts to Increase Water Availability by Water Reuse and Desalination’ within the framework program ‘Research for Sustainable Development (FONA)’ and the research agenda on Green Economy. Editorial: Future-oriented technologies and concepts to increase water availability by water reuse and desalination The pressure on available freshwater resources due to urbanization and climate change impacts is increasing worldwide; so follows the need to explore unconventional resources.
