The water-smart society’s system for recycled water
The Swedish water supply system today 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.
Opti-SITE
Opti-SITE aims to develop a methodology for identifying suitable areas for implementing nature-based stormwater solutions in urban environments using high-resolution radar data and AI. The goal is to identify the most effective infrastructure scenarios, considering location and scale, to maximise stormwater management while minimising adaptation costs.
Decision Support for Rainwater and Stormwater Harvesting
When is it sustainable to recycle rainwater and stormwater, and according to whom? And is it appropriate to flush toilets or water lawns with clean drinking water?
Synergies Between Quaternary Treatment and the Removal of N, P, and BOD
Wastewater treatment plants today sometimes face both new and stricter discharge requirements. Are there synergies between different treatment technologies? How can we maximise the benefits of our efforts?
Opti-SENSE: Optimal Placement of Sensors in Stormwater and Wastewater Networks
The project aims to optimise sensor placement in stormwater and wastewater networks, focusing on improving the monitoring of water flows.
Thermophilic Digestion in the Nordic Region
Requirements for sludge sanitisation are something that water and wastewater operations will likely need to address within the next 5–15 years. One proposed option for sanitisation is thermophilic digestion at 55°C, with an exposure time of 8 hours.
Water Twin for Crisis Preparedness
Using digital twins, we aim to manage preparedness and crisis situations in a safe and efficient manner for decision-makers, operational staff, and customer service personnel within the water industry.
DISCO – Digital Solutions for Climate Adaptation
DISCO aims to develop support mechanisms to accelerate climate adaptation in our cities and regions, with a strong focus on digital solutions.
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?
ISWIM – Innovative stormwater impact mitigation
With urbanization and more intense rainfall the demands on the systems that manage stormwater increases. Additionally, stormwater contains various pollutants. Today, stormwater is often discharged into lakes, rivers, and the sea with little or inadequate treatment. Treatment technologies need to be developed to meet the current and future requirements for stormwater quality, resource management, and the potential for on-site stormwater use in properties.
WANDA: Water ANomaly Detection Application
The uncertainty in collected data is extensive while the quality of the data is a prerequisite for an increased pace of digitalization in many industries.
