Özet

According to reports of the World Water Council 2018 based on global projections, water demand will increase by 50% in many Middle East and North African countries already submitted to high water stress. Currently, underground available water resources are in high demand due to irrigation, urban and industrial needs in relation to demographic increase and imperatives to maintain the regional economic fabric. Added to this is the problem of increasing water scarcity linked to climate change. In line with the Integrated Water Resources Management approaches, TRUST will apply in an integrated way, environmental and economic friendly technical solutions to allow sustainable treatment of wastewater, reuse of water in a relevant allocation strategy recovery of useful substances, and savings of energy. Everything following circular economy strategy. The sustainable treatment and safe reuse of water will be considered integrating various scales, from pilot demonstration sites to basin scale, integrating the constraint of climate change adaptation. Moreover, TRUST will consider the economic feasibility of the actions including energy efficiency and social acceptance of depolluted wastewater reuse. TRUST will focus on challenging cases in terms of efficient wastewater treatment of the textile and pharmaceutical industries from Tunisia and Turkey where water scarcity is a major concern and irrigation is a large water-consuming sector [1]. TRUST will also focus on recovery of valuable substances for reuse.
