Robust water supply and water reuse
in coastal areas
SubSol Open Seminar
Brussels, 29 August 2018
Dr. Gerard van den Berg (KWR)
SUBSOL has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020
research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642228
SUBSOL objective: establish a market breakthrough of subsurface water solutions as robust, effective, sustainable, and cost-efficient answers to the freshwater challenges in coastal areas worldwide.
SUBSOL – bringing subsurface water
solutions to the market
SUBSOL has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020
research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642228
Today’s objective: 1. bring together reuse experiences from the SUBSOL project, the European Union’s policies and reuse agenda, and experiences from end-users within and outside of Europe
2. contribute to the agenda for research, policy development and investments in the next decade

1. water reuse is nothing new
2. unknowningly reuse is common practice
3. if it pays off, end users will implement
4. set clear restrictions, and reuse will follow
5. there are more incentives than money alone
6. clean water, a by-product of wastewater treatment
7. multiple benefits make solutions more attracting

Findings on the effect of RW in the costal aquifer of the
Maneadero Valley
1. Dissolution of rock minerals and evaporites & reverse ion-exchange
reactions are the main processes influencing groundwater
hydrochemistry.
2. Soluble salts from sewage and leaching of urban solid waste and manure
contribute significantly to groundwater salinization.
3. RW from the WWTPN has similar geochemical composition to that of
groundwater with TDS of 1.6 - 3.0 g/L and to sewage reported in other
studies conducted in coastal aquifers of arid climatic conditions.
4. RW contribute to cation-exchange reactions and once the exchangeable
sites become saturated, solutes are not retained from RW and remain
dissolved in groundwater.
16
5. PO43- & K+ adsorption soil capacity is reached.
6. Aquifer recharge: (1) local precipitation & (2) significant local infiltration
from human activities.
7. The over- and underestimates of RW contribution is suggestive of
missing end-members.
8. Source of NO3--N are mainly derived from sewage and animal waste,
while nitrates from RW are considered negligible.
9. RW plume appears to travel down gradient through the high permeable
zone and is likely to be driven between low and high saline water by
density-differences convection.

General Requirement of Water Management and SWS
• SWS require a spatiotemporal monitoring of piezometriclevel and electrical conductivity.
• The knowledge of regional geology is fundamental.
• A study on the relationship between society andhydrogeological behavior is important to find the mostappropriate recharge strategy.
General Requirement of Water Management and SWS
• Coelho et al. (2018) showed how monitoring data (i.e.,piezometric level and electrical conductivity) combined withgeological knowledge may allow proposing MAR strategies
• Analyzing the RMR data, two contrasted behaviors wereobserved:
– (i) groundwater level decrease and stable EC in the North andSouthernmost areas of Recife;
– (ii) stable groundwater level and high/varying EC values next tothe estuary zone.
Application Potential and Location Opportunities of SWS
• Recife’s Urban Services Company (CSURB) has developed astudy for a rainwater harvesting system and the potential ofSWS implemented on public markets in Recife.
• The market in the Afogados neighbourhood can harvestaround 7,000 m³ of water each year.
• The market consumption is about 2,900 m³, henceapproximately 4,000 m³ of rainwater injection into theaquifer are available.

ASR-Coastal Pilot System in Pina
• The ASR-System is located at the Public School Landelino Rocha.
• The injection well has already been drilled. The rainwater harvesting system is under construction.
• The multilevel monitoring well is working fine .
• Recharge tests will start soon.
• Future: Install other wells with sensors in the area to improve the ASR monitoring.

Drivers and Barriers of SWS in RMR
• The RMR presents an annual precipitation ofapproximately 2450 mm, which provides greatpotential volumes of water to be used for ASRsystems.
• However, small roof areas do not harvest too muchwater.
• Reclaimed water may also be a possible source forASR.
• There’s no private investment, and thus researchdepends basically on public investment.

Conclusions
• The Metropolitan Region of Recife is in urgent needof solutions to problems of decreasing groundwaterlevels and prevent saltwater intrusion.
• ASR seems a good solution.
