Background:
- Andalusia is a water-scarce region with a local strategy prioritising water reuse for agricultural irrigation. The Regional Circular Economy Action Plan, endorsed in 2018, underscores this commitment.
- Despite the potential, water reuse remains vastly underutilized, with just 6% of treated wastewater repurposed, as reported by the INE.
Expected benefits:
- Identification of innovative WACES (Water Circular Economy Solutions)
- ) to facilitate the reuse of currently unused wastewater.
- Adaptation to EU regulation constraints, including the development of risk management plans, to ensure compliance and sustainability.
- Boost uptake by regional WACES operators through knowledge sharing from local Research and Development initiatives.
- Enhance public acceptance of agricultural water reuse through educational resources, case studies, and success stories showcased on the website.
