LeAF has joined the LOTUSHR project to assist with developing local natural wastewater treatment systems that are applicable in urban areas and that allow for reuse of effluent. This way LeAF contributes to a more sustainable environment and the circular economy. In addition, we will get valuable insights into practical application of innovative natural wastewater treatment systems.
Waste contributes to the LOTUSHR project by providing inputs on the economics of the proposed solutions for polluted city drainage canals. Both by solid waste and untreated wastewater. How can the solution be financed and how can the operation & maintenance be covered in the local context? Can it be turned into a business with different revenue generators to cover operation & maintenance and perhaps (part of the) investment cost. If so, can it be scaled to other cities having similar problems?
