The European research project B-WaterSmart has officially concluded after four years of dedicated work aimed at promoting water-smart solutions in coastal regions across Europe. Over the course of 48 months, the consortium collaborated intensively, conducting research, holding meetings, testing solutions, and adapting to both successes and setbacks. During this time, significant progress was made within the six Living Labs of the project.
KWR played a key role in the B-WaterSmart project, contributing to various European research initiatives aimed at transitioning from a linear to a circular economy, where water plays a central role. In Flanders, KWR, together with De Watergroep, Aquafin, Proefstation voor de Groenteteelt, Vito, the City of Mechelen and VLAKWA, worked on two circular pilots that demonstrated what a water-smart economy and society could look like in practice.
