Project Summary: 
The project AQUAREC “Integrated concepts for reuse of upgraded wastewater” was funded by the Fifth Framework Programme of the European Commission. Its major 
aim was to investigate and develop concepts and methodologies supporting rational and knowledge-based waste water reuse strategies. This publication presents 
practical information on waste water reuse concepts based on actual and proved management and operational practises. A broad approach has been considered 
by addressing institutional, organisational, legal, economics, financial, social and environmental issues together with technological aspects. The 
targeted readers are mainly practitioners concerned with implementation of waste water reuse schemes, but this publication may also become ‘the wastewater 
reuse manual’ for decision makers, local authorities, consultants and research bodies involved in the area.
Achieved Objectives: 
The expected direct outcomes of the project are knowledge, management know-how and an overview of available technology for wastewater reuse, particularly 
for non-potable reuse of upgraded effluents from wastewater treatment plants.   
  
Secondary outcomes of the project are intended effects, caused or accelerated by the exploitation or dissemination of the direct project outcomes. Expected 
secondary outcomes are legislative measures on water reuse in Europe, the construction and operation of water reuse systems and the social and ecological 
benefits, associated with the availability of safe secondary water sources.
