Climate adaptation of drainage networks
This is the PhD research project of Sara Roth. Sara is an industrial PhD student working for Sweden Water Research, NSVA and Lund University.
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.

Treatment of source separated greywater for lower effluent requirements with MBBR and Horizontal Filters
This is Ashley Hall’s doctoral thesis. Ashley is an industrial doctoral student from Sweden Water Research through Lund University.
The untapped potential of greywater: Decentralised treatment and use for blue-green public spaces
Sweden also has a water shortage some summers. In 2018, more than 80 municipalities needed to introduce restrictions on water use. With source-sorting sewage technology, the possibility of using greywater for irrigating green areas is opened up.
Characterisation of municipal wastewater
Major investments will be required in the next few years to deal with aging infrastructure, population growth, urbanisation and new emission requirements at municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). These investments are preceded by evaluation, design and optimization, which in turn require access to good data to provide security in the decisions made and to ensure cost-effective solutions.
Poster competition for students to raise awareness about microplastics in Gdansk
Gdańsk Water Utilities (GIWK) has been active in providing the residents of the City of Gdańsk with the ecological education for years. The related activities are led under ecological programme named „Hydromission” that aims to raise public awareness on environmental protection issues.
REWAISE
REWAISE is one of five innovation projects supported by the Horizon 2020 framework program. The goal is to reduce the use of drinking water and use water in a smarter and more efficient way.
Measurement of direct greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater treatment basins
Climate neutrality in the water and wastewater business can only be fulfilled if emissions of methane and nitrous oxide are low. We need good methods to identify and quantify these emissions and this project will work with establishing a methodology to measure and identify hot-spots for these emissions.
Water dynamics on bisphenol-covered silica as model for water purification filters
To optimize the efficiency of water filters, it is important to understand how the water interacts with the filter and how undesirable substances present in water impact the functionality of the filter. One of these undesirable substances is bisphenol A. This project will explore the potential of synthetic sand or clay filters in aiding in the removal of BPA from the water.
Safe and energy-efficient water treatment using UV-LEDs
This doctoral project will deepen the knowledge on how water disinfection using ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) can be optimized and implemented at scale. The goal is to deliver a complete strategy for disinfection of running water in point-of-use applications and water treatment facilities.
