EMWater Guide and Recommendations on Wastewater Treatment and Water Reuse

EMWater Guide: Improving wastewater treatment and reuse practices in the Mediterranean countries–A Practical Guide for Decision-Makers has been developed for the MEDA region within the EMWater Project, which is funded by the EU MEDA Water Programme and InWEnt Capacity Building International, Germany. The overall objective of the EMWater Guide is to provide guidance on taking decisions in wastewater management. The target groups are officials and decision makers mainly on municipal level, including people without engineering background and NGOs and consultants, active in the wastewater field. The EMWater Guide shall encourage its users to take into account all relevant framework conditions and alternative solutions when selecting appropriate technologies for wastewater treatment and reuse. It shall enable decision makers in the field of wastewater treatment and reuse through an easy-to-understand, concise manual. The Guide does not replace in-depth analysis of specific conditions and expert consultation once the decision to start a wastewater project has been taken.
