Project description
ArcticSewlutions aims to compile and create information on the type, efficiency, and properties of treatment options in cold and sparsely populated regions. In addition, it will also close the information gap on the occurrence of waste water-related emerging contaminants in receiving waters near Arctic settlements.
The goal is to promote the exchange of knowledge and practical experiences on waste water management solutions providing regional and local stakeholders with the information needed to assess and change practices if needed.
The project aims for enhanced waste water management in changing climate and variable geographic conditions for the resilience and health of communities.
Project actions
This project aims to study different wastewater management solutions in variable conditions in sparsely populated regions of Greenland, Finland, Iceland, and Sweden.
The project activities will result in deliverables which will serve as the basis for decision-makers in municipalities and regional authorities for the selection of technical solutions and wastewater management approaches appropriated in different conditions.
