- to investigate which measures actually 'work' in practice and
- whether such measures are economically feasible.
The project aims to develop showcases of three promising technologies which increase local or regional water supply. Basically, two showcases are set up on aquifer storage and recovery (ASR), utilizing the potential of sandy creek ridges for water storage. These showcases are 1) the freshmaker concept in Zuid-Beveland and 2) infiltration via drainage on Walcheren. The third showcase is optimizing the freshwater volume in shallow rainwater lenses with a pilot on Schouwen-Duiveland. Integration of new knowledge, stakeholder participation and opportunities for practical implementation in the region (including economic feasibility analysis) will take place in two parallel work packages.
