As part of the Be-Drain pre-normative project, the partners are working together to develop technical guidelines, performance characteristics and suitable test methods for these pervious concrete mixes. This research is based on both laboratory tests and validation measurements carried out on test beds and/or on site.

Reduced power consumption in aeration tanks at wastewater treatment plants through the use of more efficient biology that consumes less oxygen. Reduced production and treatment of residual sludge. Improved carbon footprint.

The aim of SUBSTIPHYT'eau is to offer, where possible, a chemical alternative to active substances that are problematic for water resources.

The Water4All Partnership - Water Security for the Planet - is a funding programme for scientific research in freshwater. It aims to tackle water challenges to face climate change, help to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and boost the EU’s competitiveness and growth.

Demonstration of the effectiveness of a digital solution that continuously measures the bacteriological quality of recycled water in two different environments.

Propose a methodology accompanied by didactic and operational support to enable companies to easily carry out their water footprint.

The project develops an online tool to assess the risks of reusing treated wastewater in urban, agricultural, and industrial sectors. It examines the impacts on human health and the environment, based on experiences from other European countries, and sets indicators and objective limits for Wallonia.

Water is becoming scarcer as a result of global warming. SWDE and SPGE are tasked with finding innovative alternative supply solutions to save our resources. Hybrid networks" are one such solution.

For better water management, buried infiltration systems temporarily store rainwater and gradually infiltrate it into the soil. This project aims to study the durability of these systems and the efficiency of filters to avoid clogging and reduce maintenance costs.

EcoH2O is a project aimed at identifying water-efficient sanitary devices in buildings, such as showers, toilets, and sinks. In collaboration with manufacturers and through full-scale trials, Buildwise conducts a study to provide installation recommendations for professionals, promoting water-saving practices.

ValoMin’, initiated by IDEA through the 2025 Water Hackathon (SWDE & SPGE), seeks to valorize sewage sludge by exploiting its crystalline mineral fraction through novel circular economy pathways.
