Description:
LIFE MATRIX addresses the water scarcity problem and aquifer overexploitation by combining two different techniques, Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) and Safety Plans (MAR-SP). The project will demonstrate not only the technical and economic viability of MAR with reclaimed water, but also its environmental and sanitary safety, through an on-site demonstration of an integrated solution comprising physical, digital and governance aspects. This solution will result in an increase in the availability of groundwater resources in areas of water scarcity and boost the social acceptance of reclaimed water use, involving key stakeholders in the drawing up of practical guidelines. The project contributes to the Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe, the European Green Deal, the 7th Environment Action Programme, the Water Framework Directive, the Groundwater Directive, the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive and the EU Circular Economy Action Plan.
