Deliverable Report D3.3 Transfer concepts

The SERPIC technology presents both significant advantages and some notable challenges for water re-use applications. By leveraging its strengths while addressing weaknesses through stra- tegic planning and community engagement, there is potential to enhance water reuse practices significantly within Africa, Europe and beyond. Continued alignment with regulatory frameworks and stakeholder interests will be essential for successful implementation and sustainability of the technology in addressing water scarcity challenges faced by agriculture sector. Evidence from both planned and existing initiatives indicates that the implementation pace within the water ser- vices sector has been hindered by socio-political, technical, and economic challenges. Neverthe- less, water supply authorities are increasingly recognizing that water reuse should no longer be viewed merely as an emergency measure; instead, water reclamation and reuse is becoming an alternative water source and it must be integrated into long-term water supply strategies within resource planning.
