Project

bringing coastal SUBsurface water SOLutions to the market (SUBSOL)

Description:

The SUBSOL project is focused on protection of freshwater resources in coastal areas. These areas are the most productive and economically dominant regions of the world. The high water demand in these regions, however, puts tremendous pressure on their freshwater resources and ecosystems. This leads to problems like seasonal water shortage, saltwater intrusion, and disappearance of wetlands.

A set of innovative, practical concepts have been developed for protection, enlargement and utilization of freshwater resources in coastal areas. These Subsurface Water Solutions (SWS) combine innovations in water well design and configuration, allowing for advanced groundwater management, and maximum control over freshwater resources. Three application sites in Germany have been analysed (Noardburgum, Ovezande and Nootdorp), while market replications have been set up through field pilots in Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands and the USA.

SUBSOL targets a market breakthrough of SWS as robust answers to freshwater resources challenges in coastal areas, by demonstration, market replication, standardization and commercialisation.
