Community of practice

For circular, climate-adaptive and water-friendly residential areas

SUPERLOCAL WATER CYCLE

Climate change is known to cause ecological challenges, such as more extreme rainfalls and droughts. Water professionals are searching for solutions to combat and adapt to these issues in the residential domain, while, simultaneously striving towards more liveable and more inclusive neighbourhoods. The water cycle SUPERLOCAL is a best practice neighbourhood that combines sustainable drinking-, storm- and wastewater management innovations with energy, food, and resource recovery technologies on a local scale. Learn more about this best practice water-wise neighbourhood.

COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE

Circular water-wise neighbourhoods are emerging across Europe. These pioneering projects are key in the water transition to more sustainable practices. These water projects share their combined experiences and gained knowledge in this Community of Practice to inform each other, and you. Are you a real-estate developer? Are you a civil servant, working for a Municipality? Are you a water professional? Are you a motivated citizen? Participate in offline or online events, visit the sites across Europe or read about the experiences in these unique projects here…

Projects

Several circular, water-friendly neighborhoods in Europe are part of this Community of Practice. They differ in size, technologies used, communities, and governance structures, but each of them represents the most innovative and sustainable neighborhoods in the field of (waste)water management, sanitation, and the recovery of energy and resources.

Research

By combining research activities, we create more knowledge. That is why LIFE Local Water Adapt is part of various joint research projects and (inter)national consortia, which are always made available as open access.

LIFE Programme

This Community of Practice is co-funded by the LIFE Programme of the European Commission, under the name LIFE Local Water Adapt. Read more about the reasons why this project has received funding.
