The water-smart society’s system for recycled water
The Swedish water supply system is mainly designed to use high-quality drinking water for many needs, from industry and agriculture to toilet flushing and irrigation.
Our projects
Sweden Water Research conducts research into water and develops new, effective solutions to meet the future challenges facing the water services industry.
We create, run, participate in and initiate projects that seek out suitable partnerships, with the ultimate aim of increasing knowledge of successful methods for the development and climate change adaptation of the cities of the future. Projects within Sweden Water Research are run in close collaboration with the owner municipalities and will, in either the short or the long term, benefit day-to-day operations.

From Analog to Digital in the World of Microbes
Being able to quickly determine water quality means great water-saving potential and strengthens preparedness against potential threats such as poisoning of drinking water.
The Benefits of Technical Water
Purified and recycled wastewater for industries can be utilized as a resource and contribute to sustainable water use. But when should we implement this, and what are the driving forces?
Urban Swimming
The Swedish summer dream often involves sun, warmth, and swimming. Therefore, a good swimming spot is important when planning holidays and leisure activities. But what about the quality of our bathing waters, and is it affected by our water treatment facilities? The project Urban Swimming has been looking into this matter.
Hydrogen in the tank
In order to achieve climate neutral transportation, different types of fuel such as electricity, biogas and hydrogen are needed.
“Rent blås” – monitoring and maintenance of aeration diffusers
Rising electricity prices and the accelerating climate crisis make energy efficiency a high priority for Swedish wastewater treatment plants.
Sustainable Pricing of Water
The technology for a more circular use of water exists, but we need new business models and changed behavior to make it possible on a larger scale. This project identifies challenges related to legislation, collaboration among different stakeholders, and the need to increase awareness of the challenges in the water industry.
Machine learning to reduce leakage at the Örby field
The Örby field and the Örby drinking water treatment plant, together constitute a technically complex system that contributes to securing the distribution of drinking water.
