Advanced Technologies for Water Resource Management (ATWARM), an FP7
Marie Curie Initial Training Network, established a European multi-site
network of researchers to deliver individual research projects at:
Queen's University Belfast (UK), Dublin City University (IE), University
of Duisburg-Essen (DE), Cranfield University (UK), IWW Water Centre
(DE), Northern Ireland Water (UK) and T.E. Laboratories Ltd (IE). The
fundamental objective of the network was to provide researchers with
greatly enhanced scientific and technical knowledge combined with
multidisciplinary and business skills that would enable them to
contribute to the security of water quality and quantity within the EU.
Key scientific objectives included the development of: Novel
technologies that improve the efficiency and sustainability of water and
wastewater treatment processes, particularly technologies for nutrient
and pollutant removal, Technologies that secure a paradigm shift from
energy intensive wastewater treatment processes to wastewater treatment
processes that produce energy, Technologies that allow the accurate
measurement of emissions from water and wastewater treatment plants and
establish the carbon footprint of technology options Innovative
technologies for the detection and remediation of pollutants using a new
generation of analysis and remote sensing technologies. Book chapters
follow the key objectives of the research and include: Physico-chemical
methods for the treatment of wastewater; Analytical chemistry
applications for the treatment of wastewater; Sensor technology for
measurement of water quality; Biological techniques and sustainable
water management.
