After the successful presentation of the ZeroPollution4Water Case Studies at the side event of Water Innovation Europe 2024, the first version of our Case Study Inventory is now available for download.

The Case Study Inventory aims to provide an overview about the 32 cases studies of the seven ZeroPollution4Water Cluster projects. These seven projects have received funding under Horizon Europe in 2022 and aim at preventing groundwater pollution and securing drinking water quality.

In line with the zero-pollution ambition of the European Green Deal the seven projects will use the case studies to develop and test innovative early warning systems and treatment solutions to protect water quality, from water sources to supply. All solutions will address current and future adverse climate change impacts.

This Case Study Inventory serves as an overview to facilitate insights. It presents a general description of each case study including the current state and the ambition at the end of the project. This is the starting point to explore the synergy potential, strengthen the cooperation and maximise the outreach as the 32 case studies in 18 countries cover the diversity of
environmental contexts and their influence on the situation in the catchment areas and water management needs.
