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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
