Project Objective:
The project aims to develop a cross-border nutrient recovery solution by:
- Implementing a three-pilot system for nutrient removal and reuse as fertilizer in municipal green spaces.
- Developing a digital tool for water pollution monitoring to support sustainable water management.
- Aligning with the Bauhaus initiative by creating aesthetically pleasing, inclusive, and environmentally friendly water bodies for local communities.
Key Activities:
- Testing and implementing nutrient removal systems in three municipal water bodies.
- Piloting remote sensing-based approaches for water quality monitoring in Latvian and Estonian municipalities.
- Developing a joint solution to capture and recover nutrients from surface waters for use as fertilizer.
- Enhancing awareness and knowledge-sharing on sustainable water management practices.
- Fostering cross-border cooperation among municipalities and organizations.
Expected Results:
- Three pilot systems for nutrient removal in municipal water bodies.
- A jointly developed nutrient recovery solution, including a digital tool for water pollution monitoring.
- Healthier aquatic ecosystems, reducing eutrophication and nutrient outflow into the Baltic Sea.
- More attractive and usable public water bodies for the benefit of local communities.
- Cross-border cooperation among seven organizations, ensuring successful adoption of nutrient recovery solutions.
