REsilient WAter Innovation for Smart Economy

Description

As water is vital to sustaining life, the REWAISE project creates a new smart water ecosystem, embracing the true value of water and paving the way for a resilient circular economy. New business niches will incentivise water-related investments and accelerate SME growth. By linking users with specific water needs and collective actions, new governance frameworks will generate high social returns, maximising value in water (putting to beneficial use dissolved substances such as nutrients, minerals, chemicals and metals, as well as organic matter and energy, embedded in water streams), value from water (enhancing activities inherent to the water cycle, products and services that generate benefits and jobs) and value through water (fostering societal and well-being functions of water, while minimising emissions).
