PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.<br />

Project Title Minimising energy <strong>of</strong> existing systems without compromising<br />

quality objectives<br />

Proposed by Concepts group<br />

Background It is widely acknowledged that opportunities exist to fur<strong>the</strong>r increase<br />

<strong>the</strong> energy efficiency <strong>of</strong> existing water cycle systems. Operators <strong>of</strong><br />

systems around <strong>the</strong> globe are developing <strong>and</strong> implementing energy<br />

efficient technologies <strong>and</strong> practices for different parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> water<br />

cycle. <strong>GWRC</strong> membership will benefit from drawing up, fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />

developing <strong>and</strong> implementing <strong>the</strong>se best practices. Clarity on <strong>the</strong><br />

potential energy saving would be valuable.<br />

Objectives This project should identify <strong>and</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r develop energy efficient<br />

technologies <strong>and</strong> operational practices, both for water <strong>and</strong> waste<br />

water. This includes a cradle-to-cradle approach covering design<br />

build, operations <strong>and</strong> demolition. The project should also develop<br />

indicators to determine <strong>the</strong> potential energy saving.<br />
