This report includes the results of an comprehensive bibliographic compilation of trace organic removal rates in different Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) sites. The elimination of emerging pollutants is classified and evaluated based on previously selected key parameters to identify the optimum design and operation of infiltration facilities in terms of water quality impacts. The aim is to provide guidance to the authorities and water suppliers to evaluate the trace organic removal in an existing or a new designed MAR facilities.
To develop European approaches for MAR authorization with a special focus on emerging pollutants and evaluation of its impact at existing sites
To develop a tool box to support operators and authorities in creating an adapted approach and operation for new MAR systems that will comply with the European Water Directives while minimizing energy consumption and costs
The following tasks (with deliverables and milestones) are planned:
