INNOQUA (a Horizon 2020 EU-funded project involving 20 partners) To explore the treatment efficacy of selected nature based wastewater treatment systems as well as the potential for water re-use

Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association
BORDA

INNOQUA is challenging pre-conceived ideas that nature based wastewater treatment is only suitable for rural and remote populations. Harnessing the combined potential of earthworms, zooplankton and microalgae, the modular system is being demonstrated in 11 countries on four continents – in both urban and rural environments. The project is exploring the treatment efficacy of the system as well as the potential for water re-use. Whilst demonstrating treatment performance and resilience are key targets for the project, INNOQUA is also investigating the wider aspects of social acceptance, usability and affordability.
