Circular Water Economy
The transition to a circular water economy is necessary and full of promise. Project Ô shows that a circular and integrated use of water is a key component for the success of the circular economy.
Project Ô is a transdisciplinary effort for the development of circular and sustainable water management systems based on the incorporation of stakeholder needs and expectations at an early stage of the innovation process, with upstream public engagement initiatives.
The transition to a circular water economy is necessary and full of promise. Project Ô shows that a circular and integrated use of water is a key component for the success of the circular economy.
Project Ô supports the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) framework, and as such, is engaging with local people and communities in each demo-site to take into account their perspectives and needs.
Molecular separation membrane, capacitive deionization, and advanced adsorption are only but a few of the technologies that will be employed for the development of circular water systems.
One of the core elements of Project Ô is that innovative solutions in the area of water management can only be made with the consideration of social values.
The project aims at a better integration of planning and technology tools for a circular and integrated use of water.
