Description:
The overall aim of ECO-India is to design and develop innovative cost-effective solutions for community- based water- and wastewater- treatment systems. These systems will be deployed at pilot sites in arsenic-affected water-stressed regions in India. The two consortia, Indian (DST) and European (FP7), will establish pilot schemes for•catchment area and reservoir management•surface water supply schemes•arsenic removal (including monitoring using UFZ’s field-tested Arsolux arsenic sensor)•disinfection treatment for potable water based on Trustwater’s EC-certified mixed-oxidant generation systems.•online monitoring of water quality•water distribution network, together with online/offline water quality monitoring programmes•sewerage and wastewater treatment.In addition, prototype energy-efficient modules for water deionisation and heavy metal removal will be developed. A feasibility study will be performed to assess the potential for energy harvesting from sludge.
