2. Optimal & safe closed water cycle in recreational aquatic installations
OBJECTIVE:
Integration of innovative technologies for the optimal management of water (and energy) in tourism facilities (e.g. Resort) with high water demand (quantity and quality)

3. Optimal & safe closed water cycle in recreational aquatic installations
Demonstration site at Euromediterranean area (water scarcity and tourism destination)
There are innovative technologies. Just a few are implemented. Never in an integrated way:
Different water sources (tap, rain, groundwater)
Water and energy minimisation
Wastewater separation (grey, yellow, black)
Wastewater treatment
Water reuse (gardening, flush, natural swimming pool., etc)

4. Optimal & safe closed water cycle in recreational aquatic installations
Demonstration site at Euromediterranean area (water scarcity and tourism destination)
There are innovative technologies. Just a few are implemented. Never in an integrated way:

5. Optimal & safe closed water cycle in recreational aquatic installations
Project relevance/assets:
Global market opportunities for SMEs
Green label for European tourism vs. other destinations
Several European directives and policies are related to this proposal
Tourism is central part of Med. economies (e.g. Spain – 11%)
Existing partnership: Spanish SMEs (TIC, technologies, equipment, consulting, etc.) and research centres.
Pending:
Partners required: European SMEs
Demonstration site not decided yet
