ABOUT TRUST

 

TRUST will focus on challenging cases in terms of efficient wastewater treatment of the textile and pharmaceutical industries from Tunisia and Turkey where water scarcity is a major concern and irrigation is a large water-consuming sector. By implementing appropriate advanced treatment to achieve TRL 6-7, TRUST will not only reduce the environmental impact but also save water resources by allowing reuse after pollution control. Indeed, non-conventional water such as wastewater is currently only partially reused in these regions (about 20%) but appropriate treatment would generate a new source of clean water to be used and an opportunity to enhance water security. The impact on groundwater resources of the mitigation measure of water reuse will be modelled at the specific case study’s local/regional scale by comparing scenarios including potential climate change in the medium and long term.

TRUST’s water reuse strategy will also contribute reducing business instability by developing the market. In this perspective new business models will be developed according to site specific socio-economic and legal constraints and the economic assessment of the different water allocation ways will be performed.
