Framework for Organisational Decision-Making Process in Water Reuse for Smart Cities
Annotation in Czech
The overarching aim of the project is to develop a systematic framework which can facilitate the uptake of smart reuse of wastewater (WW) water resources. As result, the framework will provide an assessment mechanism for companies implementing these techniques into their value chains. In detail, the project will: 1. Identify the opportunities and barriers for implementing these technologies under current social and political acceptance across different European contexts and in the Japanese context 2. Characterise the existing technical approaches for WW treatment in localised water systems and identify the opportunities and barriers (technological, economic, social, environmental) for the application and acceptance of the deployment of such technologies as part of the water supply system 3. Identify the dimensions of water sustainability through a consideration of climate, managerial, and ecological perspectives, namely through: a. Climate change scenarios to identify potential future water availability and distribution b. Lifecycle assessment to identify ‘hot spots’ of environmental impacts from the use (or lack of) treated WW c. Suitable ecological sustainability assessment mechanisms, taking into consideration water balances, water quality, ground water storage levels 4. Collect, analyse and present technical, environmental and economic data to measure, monitor and manage water sustainability 5. Identifying the primary stakeholders within governance and society to develop indicators and data-collection/analysis protocols in to demonstrate successes of governance schemes for water reuse implementation 6. Develop a framework for a tool for digitally accounting for water re-use that can be used to “credit” companies and utilities that substitute freshwater with treated WW 7. Develop new interdisciplinary and intercultural insights into research designs for the use of WW as part of a wider water sustainability strategy.

Project results evaluation
The CzechGlobe team prepared a set of climate change projections from the CMIP6 ensemble of global models for the two scenarios SSP2.45 and SSP5.85 for selected Central European countries and Japan. The projection serves as an information base in data tools intended for decision-making about the future use of wastewater. Projections form part of questionnaire surveys and web-map applications.
