ArcticSewlutions
Sewage management in cold and sparsely populated regions: solutions for the Arctic in view of a changing climate and emerging contaminants
What we do
Variable wastewater (WW) management approaches are used in Arctic countries. They differ by the type of systems used and the level of environmental and health protection they provide. Several factors, such as regional climate and geology or the history and culture of a region, can affect the suitability of management solutions.
ArcticSewlutions aims to compile and create information on the type, efficiency, and properties of treatment options in cold and sparsely populated regions. In addition, it will also close the information gap on the occurrence of WW-related emerging contaminants in receiving waters near Arctic settlements.
The goal is to promote the exchange of knowledge and practical experiences on WW management solutions providing regional and local stakeholders with the information needed to assess and change practices if needed.
The project aims for enhanced WW management in changing climate and variable geographic conditions for the resilience and health of communities.
