The aim of the TrinkWave’ project was to develop nature-based multi-barrier treatment processes for planned water reuse to enable targeted augmentation of drinking water resources. In this project, new energy-efficient and nature-based treatment processes via sequential managed aquifer recharge technology (SMART) were developed to supply safe drinking water without the use of high-pressure membranes. An important focus of these new multi-barrier treatment processes was the inactivation of pathogens and antibiotic resistance as well as the removal of health-relevant chemicals and trace organic chemicals. Prof. Drewes initiated the consortium, obtained funding for the concept and led the project. Dr. Zhiteneva supported the project management, carried out multi-year pilot-scale testing, and performed chemical and microbiological risk assessments.
