EU project 'Urban Water Footprint'
Published on by Markus Pahlow, University of Canterbury - Senior Lecturer
Urban Water Footprint
Nine European organizations from five European countries have just started in 2012 to collaborate on the project URBAN_WFTP - "Introduction of Water Footprint (WFTP) approach in urban area to monitor, evaluate and improve the water use".
This CENTRAL EUROPE project, to be completed by the end of 2014, focuses on local water management in urban areas in order to improve currently used technologies and to integrate innovative tools for monitoring and managing citizens' water use, water networks and wastewater treatment systems. To achieve these goals the Water Footprint approach represents an opportunity for better water management and use of water.

The problems at all have not just shared new ideas for a better common approach of water. there are 30 years the same countries started to standardize to regulate to conform water and all its derivatives. For 30 years this regulation has been blocked, blocks any interpretation, any invention any change any progress. Same the most beautiful intentions fall to water because they do not have any hope to arrive on the market. I have practised the Biological Cleansing for 12 years. I communicated at all the organizations treating of the subject which I made make more than 150 billion d'€ economy in France if they applies my concept. That it is Brussels or the local governments all are limed in their procedure which they cannot even allow an invention to develop and to show its mettle. That will last 10/20/30 more years
