The “Wall2Water (W2W)” SYSTEM, the innovative system for collecting, treating and reusing greywater from the “Istituto Comprensivo Statale Valle dell’Anapo”, was designed by IRIDRA and built in the Municipality of Ferla by the Centro Euro-Mediterraneo per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile – SVI.MED (Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Sustainable Development) within the international project “Nature Based Solutions for Domestic Water Reuse in Mediterranean Countries” (NAWAMED).
Beyond the Ferla system
In addition to the Ferla system, NAWAMED worked intensively to complete the planned systems in other public buildings in Lebanon, Jordan and Tunisia, further testing Wall2Water technologies and similar approaches in different Mediterranean contexts.
