CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE
The proposed demEAUmed solution integrates innovative water treatment technologies, TICs and water management tools.
Different proven water treatment technologies at pre-marketable level were properly combined to treat and adapt different water flows to the necessities of different areas in the resort, while saving freshwater consumption and reducing environmental and socio-economic impacts in a safe way.
