Water Management

Supply of water is essential for all life. The sustainable management of water resources is crucial for all societies. Water management includes the protection of water resources, supply and purification of drinking water as well as the treatment of used water before it is released into the hydrological cycle.
Wastewater includes treatment of storm water, industrial discharges and sewage water. The treatment includes mechanical, biological and chemical processes. Sludge from wastewater treatment plants contains nutrients and in some cases pollutants. If pollutants make the sludge undesirable for fertilization, energy can be recovered from the sludge by digestion and production of biogas. Other options include composting, incineration or land filling.
Through artificial wetlands, the water flow can be slowed down and nutrients can be assimilated by vegetation, which also promotes bio-diversity. Sustainable Sweden Southeast offers a unique competence in the field of Water Management:
