    \nAbout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Within 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. The 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
