Water is of strategic importance for the sustainability of industrial processes in our region. It is not only an indispensable raw material for applications such as cooling, steam production and electrolysis, but also plays a central role in the broader raw materials transition. Within Smart Delta Resources, the focus is on reducing the use of primary raw materials, building circular chains and optimising water flows within the industrial cluster is an important part of this.

The availability of sufficient fresh water is increasingly under pressure. A good balance between supply and demand of industrially suitable fresh water is essential to ensure continuity, especially in times of drought or changing climatic conditions. Circular water use and reuse of process water offer opportunities to reduce dependence on primary water sources and to accelerate sustainability goals. Collaboration

, innovation and infrastructure are crucial success factors to achieve this. By connecting companies, governments, water boards and knowledge institutions, space is created for smart solutions in the field of water reuse, buffering and shared systems. In this way, the region can develop into an example of future-proof and circular water management in an industrial context.
