The overall objective of the project was to achieve the effective operation of the UWTPs in Cyprus so as to accomplish a) the harmonisation of the Cypriot legislation with the provisions and requirements of the European legislation; b) the protection of the freshwater recipients of Cyprus from the effects of urban wastewater discharges; c) the safeguard of clean water resources; and d) the promotion of the reuse of treated wastewater for irrigation purposes and the use of sludge generated from the wastewater treatment for agricultural purposes, and in so doing, promoting more general principles of reuse and recycling.
