Braunschweig is one of very few large-scale agricultural reuse sites in Germany, and serves as water reuse showcase for Germany and Central Europe. It reuses the effluent of Steinhof WWTP for agricultural restricted irrigation (fodder and industrial crops).

The BRL exploitation company reuses disinfected wastewater from the Roquefort des Corbières wastewater treatment plant for irrigation of vineyards in the region.

Reclaimed water coming from the WWTP of Hisarya is used to irrigate permanent crops and arable land. A large water storage basin is the starting point from where irrigation canals transport the reclaimed water to the fields.

Rur'Eaux searches to reclaim water from low capacity WWTPs that are typically used in rural areas. The reclaimed water will be used for the irrigation of fodder crops and vegetables at a research facility.

IRRI ALT'EAU seeks to investigate the long term effects of using drip irrigation with reclaimed water from a WWTP (municipal) in vineyards. The final stage of the project is to implement the system in existing vineyards.

An example of reusing water within the same company. A rose farm (essential oils) that irrigates the next years crop with wastewater from the extraction process of the current years harvest.

The Délfin Water Reclamation facility disinfects effluent from a nearby WWTP. The main goal of the project is to store the reclaimed water produced in wintertime so that it can be used during the dry summer periods.

The project disinfects the effluent of a WWTP to irrigate horticultural crops, along with citrus trees, fruit trees... One of the disinfection techniques that is being investigated is solar UV disinfection. On a yearly basis, the fully implemented system reclaims 13.5 hm³ of water.

Effluent from a WWTP is reclaimed using lagooning techniques and chlorination. The reclaimed water has been used for over 20 years to irrigate all kinds of crops in the region, from potatoes to olive trees.

Municipal wastewater that recieve tertiary treatment with a membrane bioreactor along with disinfection techniques to make it suitable for the irrigation of vegetables and fruit trees.

MULTI-ReUse develops and implements new procedures for the reuse of service water. The aim of MULTI-ReUse therefore is the development, demonstration and evaluation of a modular water treatment system, in order to offer service water in different qualities and quantities for the different purposes and to competitive prices.

F2AGRI is a project to use the reclaimed water from a food processing company in the neighbouring arable fields to irrigate the vegetables that are to be processed in the same company.

Wastewater from a slaughterhouse is treated to deliver reclaimed water, along with two different biostimulants and a fertilizer.
