With regions having low rainfall, high population density, and areas with intense agricultural, industrial or tourism activities, Europe’s water resources are under stress. The ability of Europe’s communities to respond to this increasing stress on water resources is by taking advantage of water reuse opportunities. This is restricted by low public confidence in solutions, inconsistent approaches to evaluating costs and benefits of reuse schemes, and poor coordination of the professionals and organizations who design, implement and manage them.

Demoware is a cross-sector European partnership program that aims to promote water reuse all over Europe by executing a highly collaborative project of demonstration and exploitation. It is expected that the Demoware outcomes will increase Europe’s ability to profit from the resource security and economic benefits of water reuse schemes without compromising human health and environmental integrity. The purpose of the video is to present the structure and the main objectives that are aiming to help promote the work and benefits of the project.
