Water cycle recovery and reuse implementation
Resource and energy from the water cycle means new products. New products need new users and buyers. This workshop focuses on new technologies and products that accelerate this process. The workshop will have three issues: New Resources; New Energy; New Business (how to connect products to the market?).

Keynote: Re-use urgently demanded by the policy maker and the consumer
The cyclic economy is driven either by overarching policies such as the Paris agreements  or by the demands of the consumers.  Climate change will results in a more variable supply of water and this is a key issue in the context of the water cycle. This must be our first focus as water scientists. Yet, we like to draw the attention to a much less highlighted issue: the need to re-use reactive nitrogen present in our used waters and wastes. We can indeed harvest and upgrade this nitrogen by aerobic microbial fermentation and make the subsequent products fit perfectly in two highly prioritized contexts ie  a) the need to supply more nutritious protein to feed the world and b) the potential to attain the 4 for thousand increase in Soil Organic Matter via the production of high quality organic fertilizers from various nitrogen sources. 
Both contexts certainly are novel, ready to be implemented at large scale and of generic interest to various regions of the planet. Both the policy makers and the consumers  are waiting for our developments along these lines.

NEREDA® Inside for sustainable meat production
The major challenge in the project for Westfort Meat Products was the wastewater treatment. Discharge of industrial effluent can be allowed by the local authorities; however untreated discharge would greatly exceed the capacity of the local WWTP. The only way to meet the requirements was by applying the new and innovative Nereda® concept. Stormwater ingress into municipal sewer systems is a challenge faced by cities using dedicated sanitation systems worldwide. Ingress swallows up available pumping capacity and increases energy consumption, whilst exhausting any spare system capacity of the network and treatment facilities. This paper shows how this problem is being tackled in the Msunduzi Municipality in South Africa.
