WorkPackage 5

WP5: Awareness of sustainable water and wastewater

This fifth workpackage is aimed to implement the transfer of information and know-how.

Task 5.1 - Video production

The CD/DVD is a simple and cost-effective tool for the transfer of information and know-how. It gives the user the opportunity to select from a wide variety of topics in a very short time. The CD aims at promoting public awareness and commitment of the population to act as a partner in the local water management plan. It intends to address the educational field in the beneficiary countries at two different levels whereby, the user will be able to choose among four languages (German, English, French, Arabic). The two levels will deal with different tools of the water technology at the:

a) Pupil/student level
b) Expert level (including teachers and university staff).

The CD/DVD will be divided into two main parts. The first part will present the already existing developments and know-how in the field of innovative water technologies in Northern Europe.

The second part will present the Appropriate Technology for the beneficiary countries based on:
· the local conditions, taking into consideration, the social, cultural and religious particularities
· the traditional management of the scarce water resources in these countries, and
· the modern water technologies which have been developed in the last decades.


Topics of the CD/DVD:

Part 1 will be concerned with the available technologies in Northern Europe. The fbr has many good practical examples and wide experience through its 500 members. We plan a maximum of 30-minutes video spot which will be accompanied with computer animation and tricks in order to simplify some of the more difficult technical aspects. This presentation will deal with:

· Water consumption and water-saving measures and installations
· Decentralised waste water treatment systems (e.g. constructed wetlands, membrane reactors)
· Rainwater harvesting and infiltration including rainwater treatment to drinking water quality
· Greywater reuse
· New sanitation technologies such as the separation of black and greywater including nutrient and energy recycling.

The video spot will also show projects and experiences from different sectors beginning at the household level and moving on to bigger living complexes over to hotels and the industrial sector.

Each topic will be supplemented with selected literature (pdf-files) and educational aids (e.g. PowerPoint presentations).

Part 2 also plans a 30-minutes video spot on the appropriate technologies for the beneficiary countries and will be first produced when the initial results of the pilot plants in these countries are available. It will also be supplemented with pdf-files and PowerPoint presentations.
