The ENSURE project focused on the multidimensional feasibility analysis of wastewater reuse projects in urban areas. Alternative scenarios of water reuse in a Portuguese municipality were established and studied regarding costs, water savings and environmental and health risks. Results will be presented at IAHR Europe Congress. The water company Águas do Tejo Atlântico demonstrated interest in the project and cooperated with the team by providing water quality records and treated wastewater samples. The latter were analysed for unconventional microbiological parameters by LAIST, with whom a partnership was also established.
The ENSURE project also paved the way for an Msc thesis on the non-monetary benefits of reclaimed water use.
A review paper on the use of reclaimed water for irrigation of urban green areas, regarding observed impacts is being prepared. In addition, the team is also working on a FCT project proposal on the reuse topic.
