Approaching the first year of implementation, the GreenLED consortium met at the end of May in Madrid to share the progress of this unique project. This project will create a reference in climate adaptation by demonstrating that rainwater can be a reliable source of water to meet growing urban water demand, meeting the regulatory constraints for public health and rainwater reuse in cities.

A Dutch-Spanish consortium receives €3,000,000,- to scale up rainwater reuse in European cities. The project is funded by the EU funding instrument for the environment and climate action, LIFE. Two demonstration sites will be realized in Alphen aan de Rijn (The Netherlands) and Madrid (Spain), in which approximately 10 million liters of drinking water can be saved every year.

We are very happy with our Partners for Water subsidy to explore opportunities in Oaxaca, Mexico. In the project, together with the urbanism firm BD+P and the Mexican consultancy firm Centro, we will assess how we can help Mexican cities and water users to tackle water scarcity and urban flooding with our rainwater reuse solutions. In this interview, Karina tells you more about the project.
