Current urban water management in the Netherlands is based on large-scale, centralised systems for drinking water supply, stormwater drainage and wastewater treatment. Compared to the current centralised systems, local collection and treatment of wastewater can have great advantages, especially with regard to recovering energy, water and other resources and making them locally available. Decentralised water systems at district level therefore offer opportunities in the context of both climate adaptation and the transition to circular economies. In this session, we will discuss practical experiences and new insights regarding (decentralised) water treatment systems, with a focus on recovery and reuse of water, energy and other resources.
