TRUST – Sustainable, fair and environmentally sound drinking water supply for prosperous regions with water shortages

TRUST is a joint research project among the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), University of Stuttgart and other research institutions and technology providers. The objective of the project is to develop innovative solutions and planning tools for drinking water supply in water scarce regions. The methodological approach includes satellite-based remote sensing and water balance modeling to develop an integrated water supply and wastewater disposal system. The project intendeds to create a sustainable model for improving access to safe drinking water, with local conditions and climate change considerations included. The project’s resulting models and technology is to be tested in the Lima/Peru region in the future. Preliminary tests are to be carried out in Germany to regionally verify the correlation between remote-sensing data and water quality issues, and ensure that the method can be transferred.
