SUBSOL

SUBSOL is an innovative project funded by the EU that aims to bring advanced freshwater resources management solutions to coastal areas. The project focuses on developing tools and concepts such as Freshkeeper, ASR Coastal, and Freshmaker to address freshwater challenges. With pilots and market scans across different regions, SUBSOL aims to create an online platform to share data, knowledge, and lessons learned in subsurface water solutions.

  6. Subsurface Water SolutionsA set of tools and concepts to solve freshwater challenges • Freshkeeper– Prevent saltwater intrusion into freshwater wells • ASR Coastal – Enable freshwater storage in brackish aquifers • Freshmaker – Enlarge natural freshwater lenses SUBSOL has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642228

  7. ASR Coastal SUBSOL has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642228

  8. Freshkeeper SUBSOL has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642228

  9. Acknowledgement at political level Melanie Schultz van Haegen (Minister of Infrastructureand the Environment, the Netherlands) during opening KWR building(18 September 2015): ‘Innovationsforsubsurface storage of water - such as the freshkeeperandfreshmaker– are crucialforourbattleagainstsalinisation’. SUBSOL has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642228

  10. SUBSOL project design Pilots and market scans • Reference sites • Noardburgum (NL) • Ovezande (NL) • Nootdorp/Westland (NL) Replication sites • Falster Island (DK) • Schinias (GR) • Dinteloord (NL) • Venice (US) SUBSOL has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642228

  11. SUBSOL project design Pilots and market scans • Market scans • Northwestern Europe • The Mediterranean (Greece, Cyprus, Turkey) • China (Laizhou Bay) • Brazil (Pernambuco) • Gulf of Mexico (Florida, Mexico) • Vietnam (Mekong Delta) SUBSOL has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642228

  12. Development of a SWS platform SUBSOL createsan open Online SWS Platform to share data, knowledgeandlessonslearntbetween cases andacrossregions. It consists of: • a Knowledge Base (SWS experiences, data, best practices, business cases, pTA assessments) • a SWS Toolkit (tools andmodels, hydro-technical DSS, EnvironmentalTechnology Verification) • a Virtual Market Place (partiesthatprovide expertise andknowledge) SUBSOL has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642228

  13. EU legislation/European MAR catalogue EU legislation • EU legislation (WFD, GWD, and UWWTD) do not specifically consider the requirements for MAR (incl. ASR). • The WFD stipulates MAR as a supplementary measure and indicates that this activity will require periodic controls and previous authorisation. • There is a lack of harmonisation between EU MS. • EU directives state that degradation of groundwater quality it is not allowed and the member states have to authorize the recharge systems and verify the monitoring program. (based on the FP7 - DEMEAU project) SUBSOL has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642228
