ArcticSewlutions
Sewage management in cold and sparsely populated regions: solutions for the Arctic in view of a changing climate and emerging contaminants.

About the project
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 information on the type, efficiency, and properties of treatment options in cold and sparsely populated regions including effects on emerging contaminants and tests at pilot sites. The goal of the project is to promote the exchange of knowledge and practical experiences on WW management solutions providing 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.
