The S\u00fbre feeds the Obersauer reservoir, which provides high-quality drinking water.\nJust utopic thinking? Maybe, but a group of Belgian, German and Luxembourgian wastewater specialists would like to make this vision become reality.\nWithin the framework of two Interreg GR projects (Emis\u00fbre and CoMinGreat ), innovative technologies have already been developed to remove micro-pollutants from the effluent of wastewater treatment plants. It has been investigated at which wastewater treatment plants (on the Luxembourg side of the S\u00fbre River as well as a catchment area in Saarland) these technologies could be most usefully applied, and an initial deployment strategy in the GR has been developed. Furthermore, a demonstration and information centre has been established.\nThe planned QualiS\u00fbre project goes well beyond these approaches: hot-spots of emissions in the catchment area of the reservoir will be identified and sampled, existing structures will be operationally optimised, and at the identified hot spots - both at the existing wastewater treatment plants and at stormwater or combined sewer overflow structures - soil filters with locally produced special substrates will be installed on pilot scale and their effectiveness evaluated. In addition to micropollutants, other relevant parameters such as nutrients and bacteriological load will be considered. The results will be incorporated into a decision support tool that intelligently distributes wastewater loads within the catchment area and protects sensitive stretches of water. Finally, an action plan for transnational cooperation to keep the S\u00fbre clean will be developed.","rp_start_date":"2024-02-01 00:00:00","rp_duration":36,"rp_main_funder":"Interreg Grande R\u00e9gion","rp_other_funders":["Administration de gestion de l'eau"],"rp_external_partners":["Syndicat Intercommunal de D\u00e9pollution des Eaux r\u00e9siduaires du Nord (SIDEN) (Luxembourg)","RTC4Water (Luxembourg)","Centre Belge d'Etude et de Documentation de l'Eau asbl (Cebedeau) (Belgium)","Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) (Luxembourg)","IDELUX Eau (Belgium)","Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Publique de Gestion de l'Eau (SPGE) (Belgium)","University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU) (Germany)"],"rp_keywords":["micropollutants","combined sewer overflows","nature-based solutions"],"rp_members":[{"name":"Silvia VENDITTI","isPI":true,"isExternal":false,"featuredImageUrl":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/person-image\/NTAwMjYyMTFfX1NpbHZpYSBWRU5ESVRUSQ==","detailsPageUrl":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/people\/silvia-venditti\/","id":"50026211"},{"name":"Jean-David Maennlein","isPI":false,"isExternal":true,"featuredImageUrl":"","detailsPageUrl":"","entity":"Syndicat Intercommunal de D\u00e9pollution des Eaux residuaires du Nord (SIDEN)"},{"name":"Elaheh FAGHIH NASIRI","isPI":false,"isExternal":false,"featuredImageUrl":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/person-image\/NTAwODk3MDNfX0VsYWhlaCBGQUdISUggTkFTSVJJ","detailsPageUrl":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/people\/elaheh-faghih-nasiri\/","id":"50089703"},{"name":"Paula NUNEZ TAFALLA","isPI":false,"isExternal":false,"featuredImageUrl":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/person-image\/NTAwMzk2MjBfX1BhdWxhIE5VTkVaIFRBRkFMTEE=","detailsPageUrl":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/people\/paula-nunez-tafalla\/","id":"50039620"},{"name":"Joachim HANSEN","isPI":false,"isExternal":false,"featuredImageUrl":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/person-image\/NTAwMDE5MzhfX0pvYWNoaW0gSEFOU0VO","detailsPageUrl":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/people\/joachim-hansen\/","id":"50001938"},{"name":"St\u00e9phane Nonet","isPI":false,"isExternal":true,"featuredImageUrl":"","detailsPageUrl":"","entity":"Centre Belge d'Etude et de Documentation de l'Eau (Cebedeau)"},{"name":"Quentin Neulens","isPI":false,"isExternal":true,"featuredImageUrl":"","detailsPageUrl":"","entity":"IDELUX Eau"},{"name":"Rosalie Pype","isPI":false,"isExternal":true,"featuredImageUrl":"","detailsPageUrl":"","entity":"SPGE"},{"name":"Prof. Ulrich Dittmer","isPI":false,"isExternal":true,"featuredImageUrl":"","detailsPageUrl":"","entity":"RTC4Water"},{"name":"Dr. Alex Cornelissen","isPI":false,"isExternal":true,"featuredImageUrl":"","detailsPageUrl":"","entity":"RTC4Water"},{"name":"Tom Gall\u00e9, Lead R&T associate","isPI":false,"isExternal":true,"featuredImageUrl":"","detailsPageUrl":"","entity":"LIST"}]},"research-project-status":[],"research-project-type":[268],"field-of-interest":[287],"organisation":[47,29],"authorship":[325],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/core-researches\/41529"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/core-researches"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/core-researches"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/325"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/core-researches\/41529\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41549,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/core-researches\/41529\/revisions\/41549"}],"wp:authorship":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/325"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"research-project-status","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research-project-status?post=41529"},{"taxonomy":"research-project-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research-project-type?post=41529"},{"taxonomy":"field-of-interest","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/field-of-interest?post=41529"},{"taxonomy":"organisation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fstm-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/organisation?post=41529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
