About WATERSENS project

WATERSENS is an EU-funded project aiming to provide real evidence of its benefits and creating a decision-making framework to help stakeholders to apply the most suitable decentralised water management solutions.

Seven key results will be delivered

Floating treatment wetlands

for treating rural wastewater and urban stormwater runoff in stormwater ponds

Biofilters

to clean contaminated water from informal settlements for agricultural use

Photo-bioelectrochemical systems and two-stage denitrifying bioreactors

to reuse urban wastewater for irrigation

Green roofs, green walls, and modernised rainwater cisterns

or greywater treatment and stormwater reuse.

Co-Designing a DWM Governance Framework

for adaptable solutions to environmental and community needs

Harmonised Life Circle Assessment and circular economy assessment

Alignment with EU and Global Water Policies
