BL 21 – Regional Water Supply Basel-Land 21
Overview
"Regional Water Supply Basel-Land 21", was an interdisciplinary research project of the Drinking Water Competence Centre at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (external pageeawagcall_made), which was carried out in cooperation with the Canton of Basel-Landschaft.
The overall research objectives of the project were:
- To identify risks (microbial and chemical) in groundwater, karst springs and drinking water
- To develop a better understanding of the factors influencing the quality of raw water in different water sources
- To formulate recommendations on adjustments to water management and treatment strategies
- To analyse the natural, social and economic challenges and potentials of regional water supply based on cross-sectoral studies
Together with PEGO, NARP carried out the sub-project "Basel-Landschaft Water Supply Structure", which aimed to provide information on potentially promising future water supply structures in various regions of the Canton of Basel-Landschaft. Based on a multi-criteria analysis and a survey of affected and involved actors in the canton, the project: 1) discussed the challenges facing the canton today and in the foreseeable future; 2) examined alternative structures; and 3) developed recommendations for action for the canton.
