EXTRACT:
The Implementation Plan will use a systems approach, which encompasses water supply,
sanitation, water use in agriculture and industry and river basin management to develop
solutions for the global water market. In an increasingly water stressed world, the Water
Supply and Sanitation Technology Platform (WSSTP) will deliver major advances in the
efficiency of water use, environmental protection and balancing the competitive demands
for water resources.
The WSSTP will address the full spectrum of R&D including conceptualisation,
feasability (including generic and enabling research), prototype development, piloting,
demonstration and deployment. To do this the WSSTP will enable efficient knowledge
transfer across the whole knowledge and supply chains. This will be done by grouping
research into six Pilot Themes, each containing a number of implementation cases.
Generic research and enabling technologies will be shared among pilot themes members
at a pre-competitive level and where appropriate also between pilot themes. Specific
demonstration and deployment will be carried out by commercial consortia organised
around each implementation case.
The pilot themes are the key component in the deployment strategy, being the instrument
for integration, definition, targetting and prioritisation. Following market research and
consultation with stakeholders, solutions will be developed which are tailored to the
specific needs of the region, its main water users and population.
The diversity of European climatic, social and economic conditions, provides the
European industry with a competitive test bed to develop and demonstrate full scale
solutions to solve European water issues and contribute to build an international
competitive advantage.
