AquanNES Blueprint for a water quality assessment framework for cNES

“The AquaNES project will catalyze innovations in water and wastewater treatment processes and man- agement through improved combinations of natural and engineered components. Among the demon- strated solutions are natural treatment processes such as bank filtration (BF), managed aquifer re- charge (MAR) and constructed wetlands (CW). The project holds 13 demonstration sites that make use of BF, MAR or CW among other treatment techniques. Water quality assessment is essential for the evaluation of water treatment. This report presents a Water Quality Assessment Framework to support water quality assessment of combined natural and engineered treatments by evaluation source, treatment steps, monitoring and use of treated water. It also contains a preliminary assessment of all individual demonstration sites, providing suggestions for monitoring and other forms of water quality assessment for demonstration sites.
The purpose of this document is to provide a framework for water quality assessment for drinking water and wastewater treatment. The provided information conduces to support the quality assess- ment of water treatment schemes with combined natural and engineered components.”
