Over the last two years, Ecsite and its members have been working on the WATER-MINING project to develop a programme engaging citizens with water services and the circular economy. NEMO Science Museum (Amsterdam, Netherlands) produced the WATER-MINING exhibition to engage museum visitors with this topic through an insightful audio tour. After being displayed in Amsterdam, the exhibition will visit Parque de las Ciencias (Granada, Spain).

The workshop is designed for stakeholders interested in business models and policy measures supporting innovative circular water technologies. In terms of technology, the focus is on the recovery of critical resources, including freshwater, nutrient minerals, biopolymers, and energy, from urban and industrial wastewater, as well as seawater. Subjects to be discussed: circular business models, effective green funding and policy packages for the widespread dissemination of circular water technologies in Europe.

The WATER-MINING project works with pilot sites in Cyprus, Spain, Portugal, Italy and the Netherlands to demonstrate new and efficient ways to reuse water and reclaim nutrients, minerals, biopolymers and energy from desalination, and industrial and urban wastewater. This second video of the project focuses on the water situation in the most water-stressed country of the EU, Cyprus and how the WATER-MINING project is working together with local partners on solutions to increase water security for present and future generations.
