Wastewater treatment and desalinated water contribute to compensate the gap between available and needed water for agriculture and aquifer recharge and provide regular water supply throughout the year. FIT4REUSE, aware of the existing baselines in different parts of the region, have contributed to tackle these challenges by providing sustainable solutions that are fit for the local scenarios.

The main objective of FIT4REUSE was to provide safe, locally sustainable and accepted ways of water supply for the Mediterranean agricultural sector by exploiting non-conventional water resources, namely wastewater treatment and desalinated water.

This project, focused on the development of innovative, sustainable and competitive innovative technologies for the use of non-conventional water resources in agriculture and for aquifer recharge. Inclusion of partners from different areas of the Mediterranean region have enabled FIT4REUSE to conduct high quality collaborative research and to produce of substantial results on a regional scale that fit local scenarios, and to start long lasting collaboration between participating institutions.
