项目摘要

The WaterFOre project addresses an urgent safe water supply need in Syria for drinking and hygiene. Conflict has damaged water supply networks and millions of people lack regular access to safe water. Vulnerable families and children, especially displaced people and those in rural areas, have had to resort to unsafe alternatives leading to rising rates of cholera and diarrhoea. The region has a history of drought and over exploitation of groundwater resources making access to water a key driver of conflict.Waterwhelm technology produces drinking quality water from almost any source (e.g. polluted river water) by forward osmosis. The process uses mainly heat and very little electricity compared to conventional methods e.g. reverse osmosis. This is the first phase of assessing the feasibility of the technology to play a role in meeting safe water needs in Syria.Key activities:Assessing the most feasible water sources and identifying the priority water needs;Assessing the energy (heat) requirements for water treatment and available sources;Ensuring the proposed solution meets the needs of stakeholders including poor and displaced people, vulnerable groups and women/children and takes account of social/cultural factors;Adaptation of the technology for use in Syria and validation of the performance on simulated feed waters;Identifying potential new partners from Syria with complimentary skills and capabilities to benefit commercially as part of a value-chain.Key outputs:Report on locations, quality and scale of feed waters matched to the priority water needs/locations;Report on feasibility of providing heat from a range of sources;Stakeholder needs analysis report and stakeholder impact assessment;Validated version of the technology suited to the needs identified by the feasibility work and reports on expected performance/costs;Additional Syrian partners identified for a second demonstration phase.The ultimate impacts of the project will be provision of safe/affordable water for drinking and hygiene purposes contributing to at least two UN Sustainable Development Goals- (3) good health and well-being and (6) clean water and sanitation. These include targets by 2030 to: achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all; expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water- and sanitation-related activities and programmes, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies; and to substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from water pollution and contamination.

WatFOre项目解决了叙利亚饮用水和卫生方面的紧急安全供水需求。冲突破坏了供水网络，数百万人无法经常获得安全饮用水。脆弱的家庭和儿童，特别是流离失所的人和农村地区的儿童，不得不求助于不安全的替代办法，导致霍乱和腹泻发病率上升。该地区有干旱和过度开采地下水资源的历史，这使得获取水成为冲突的关键驱动因素。水的技术通过向前渗透从几乎任何来源(例如受污染的河水)生产优质饮用水。与反渗透等传统方法相比，该过程主要使用热量和极少的电力。这是评估该技术在满足叙利亚安全用水需求方面发挥作用的可行性的第一阶段。关键活动：评估最可行的水源并确定优先的用水需求；评估水处理的能源(热)需求和可用的来源；确保拟议的解决方案满足利益相关者的需求，包括穷人和流离失所者、弱势群体和妇女/儿童的需求，并考虑社会/文化因素；修改该技术以供叙利亚使用，并验证模拟饲料水的性能；确定叙利亚潜在的、具有免费技能和能力的新合作伙伴，使其作为价值链的一部分在商业上受益。主要产出：关于与优先用水需求/地点相匹配的给水的地点、质量和规模的报告；关于从各种来源提供热量的可行性报告；利益攸关方需求分析报告和利益攸关方影响评估；符合可行性工作确定的需要的技术验证版本和预期绩效/成本报告；为第二个示范阶段确定了更多的叙利亚合作伙伴。该项目的最终影响将是为饮用水和卫生目的提供安全/负担得起的水，至少有助于实现两个联合国可持续发展目标--(3)良好的健康和福祉以及(6)清洁的水和卫生。这些目标包括到2030年实现人人普遍平等地获得安全和负担得起的饮用水；在与水和卫生有关的活动和方案中扩大对发展中国家的国际合作和能力建设支持，包括集水、海水淡化、水效率、废水处理、回收和再利用技术；大幅减少水污染和污染造成的死亡和疾病人数。
