Developing innovative methods to treat and reuse stormwater runoff to reduce pollution and enhance water management in the South Baltic area.



Overview:
The South Baltic area faces significant environmental challenges due to pollution from plastics, chemicals, nutrients, and eutrophication, exacerbated by urban stormwater runoff. Effective stormwater management and innovative water reuse are crucial for reducing pollutant loads and tackling water scarcity concerns.

Key Objectives: The project aims to investigate and develop holistic, cost-effective, and space-efficient methods for treating and reusing urban stormwater runoff. It focuses on reducing pollution in water bodies and enhancing climate adaptation by separating combined sewers and using advanced treatment technologies.

Main Activities: The initiative involves developing a common understanding of stormwater legislation and current practices, with capacity building and training workshops for stakeholders. Prototypes and pilot projects using co-created technologies are developed, addressing stormwater discharge and deploying multi-treatment approaches to manage pollutants effectively.

Impact: By demonstrating the effectiveness of new stormwater treatment methods, the project fosters scalable solutions for managing urban runoff in the South Baltic area. Successes are shared through regional working groups and conferences, promoting widespread adoption and embedding new knowledge within utilities and municipalities.
