Final workshop feasibility study wastewater

The available surface and groundwater resources are a key location factor, significantly influencing a region's attractiveness for new industrial developments. However, climate change, coupled with increasingly frequent extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, floods, droughts, and low water levels, is creating increased pressure to act regarding the management of these limited water resources.

In the Görlitz district, the idea is to support the process water needs of existing and future industrial sites by providing treated wastewater for industrial applications. A feasibility study examined the potential and limitations of providing and using treated municipal wastewater for this purpose

• Hydrogen production from renewable energies,
• further industrial applications in industrial and commercial areas,
• Use for agricultural irrigation,
• Use as fire extinguishing water

highlighted.

The use of treated wastewater from municipal sewage treatment plants offers the opportunity to develop water-using local economic sectors in a future-proof manner, to strengthen the Görlitz district as a business location and to contribute to a successful structural transformation.
