We want 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 located in 1) Zuid-Beveland (the freshmaker concept) and in 2) Walcheren (infiltration via drainage). 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.
The province of Zeeland, ZLTO, the Water Boards Scheldestromen and Brabantse Delta, the municipality Schouwen-Duiveland and STOWA all contribute to the project, from a financial contribution to inserting local expertise, arranging permits and taking care of small water management measures.
