Wastewater management in EU is generally considered the
reference model for many developing countries. The present
practices are a result of enormous social and economic
development during the past few decades. The key factors that
have defined the successful design and implementation of these
practices are due to:
(a) Ambitious goals for water and sanitation infrastructure
coverage; and
(b) Wide-spread public pressure for improved environmental
quality. The same is translated into setting of restrictive quality and
effluent standards by the EC.
In 2010, Global Water and Wastewater Market is estimated to
be € 300B as compared to € 227B in 2008. In order to comply with
the current wastewater directives EU requires a capital of € 170B
to € 230B.

A sustained strategic effort by political set-up in EU region has
played a pivotal role to tackle waste for meeting environmental
laws and standards. Continued support lead to efficient planning
and execution of the waste management exercise across EU.
In March 2009, EC increased spending of € 105B through the
cohesion fund on ‘green’ projects, which are a part of its economic
stimulus to counteract the crisis. € 54B will go to aid EU member
states to comply with European environmental legislation, while
€ 28B will go to water and waste management programs.
