PROJECT DESCRIPTION 5.<br />
Project Title An <strong>Energy</strong> efficient urban water cycle – concepts for <strong>the</strong> future<br />
Proposed by Concepts group<br />
Background Current wate rinfrastructures have been designed <strong>and</strong> constructed on<br />
<strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> views, requirements, conditions <strong>and</strong> technologies <strong>of</strong><br />
decades ago. Future drivers <strong>and</strong> current technologies might open <strong>the</strong><br />
door for new concepts for <strong>the</strong> water cycle<br />
Objectives • Design <strong>of</strong> new water supply systems (‘eco-city’), new sanitation,<br />
treatment, distribution, pipe work, fire vs. potable<br />
• New approach to old ideas<br />
• Decentralisation <strong>and</strong>/or centralisation<br />
• Sustainable size<br />
• Centralised control / local action<br />
Deliverables <strong>Report</strong> on series <strong>of</strong> scenarios <strong>and</strong> concepts,<br />
<strong>Research</strong> Approach • Build on <strong>GWRC</strong> Trends study<br />
• “Eco-city –concepts worldwide” – desk study <strong>of</strong> water <strong>and</strong><br />
energy related projects<br />
• Series <strong>of</strong> meetings <strong>and</strong> workshops<br />
Potential Partners SWITCH <strong>and</strong> TECHNEAU-project (EU), Tianjin (China/Singapore,<br />
