RESET project
RESET project
Valorisation of non-conventional water resources in urban and peri-urban context
Circular water solutions for urban and peri-urban environments
Project Overview
RESET addresses the growing need for sustainable water management by developing integrated solutions for the reuse and valorisation of non-conventional water resources.
The project combines technological innovation, nature-based solutions and system-level approaches to improve water efficiency, recover valuable resources and enhance the resilience of urban and peri-urban environments.
By bridging research and real-world applications, RESET aims to support the transition towards more circular and sustainable water systems.
Why RESET matters
Water scarcity
Increasing pressure on water resources due to climate change and growing demand is challenging traditional water supply systems.
Urbanisation & sustainability
Rapid urban growth requires more efficient and sustainable water management solutions to ensure resilience and long-term resource availability.
Towards circular systems
Linear water use models are no longer viable. Transitioning to circular approaches is essential to recover resources and reduce environmental impact.
RESET structure
The RESET project is organised into interconnected work packages addressing water reuse, resource recovery, system integration and sustainability.
WP1 — Coordination & Management
Project coordination, management and communication among partners.
WP2 — Water Reuse
Development of treatment solutions for safe reuse of non-conventional water resources.
WP3 — Resource Recovery
Recovery of valuable resources such as nutrients and energy from wastewater streams.
WP4 — Water Reuse Networks
Design and optimisation of reclaimed water reuse networks.
WP5 — Sustainability Assessment
Evaluation of environmental performance, sustainability and impact of proposed solutions.
WP6 — Dissemination & Communication
Dissemination of project results and engagement with stakeholders.
From Research to Application
RESET goes beyond theoretical research by validating its solutions in real-world conditions.
The project integrates advanced technologies, nature-based solutions and system-level approaches into practical applications, ensuring their feasibility and scalability.
By testing and optimising solutions in urban and peri-urban contexts, RESET supports the transition towards more resilient and circular water systems.
Examples of pilot systems and technologies developed and tested within RESET.
a) Pilot scale modules (UFMS), b) recently implemented full-residential scale (UFMS); c) Pilot CWs installed at a public school in the north of Luxembourg; d) UV systems at UPM, e) UV system at Uni.Lu.
