LIFE ReWa project

• Manage water resources as effectively as possible and offset the deficit linked to the growing need for fresh water throughout the territory.
• Reduce the volumes of treated wastewater discharged and the associated pollution without compromising the maintenance of the ecological functions of watercourses.

Create and make available a new resource: recycled water produced from treated wastewater of suitable qualities to meet a variety of uses (agricultural, industrial and urban), by demonstrating the technical feasibility, social acceptability, availability of uses and economic sustainability of reusing the region's wastewater.

• Build a "mobile container" production unit for recycled water from wastewater leaving treatment plants, to make it compatible with the various targeted uses.
• Store the recycled water to make it available to users.

• Régie des eaux de Montpellier: project leader
• Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole: associate beneficiary
• European Membrane Institute: research laboratory specializing in modeling membrane transfer phenomena and monitoring the fate of organic micropollutants during treatment
• DV2E: consultancy specializing in treated wastewater reuse projects

The LIFE ReWa project (September 2021 - September 2026) is nearly 55% funded by the European Union and around 25% by the Occitanie region for a total of 1.8 million euros.
