WATROPEC project conclusions

• Very good cooperation
• Model prediction improves the quality of the
  decisions.
• Studies without the integrated modelling approach
  can not give this information (results).
• This results can be directly used to achieve the
  goals of the European Water Framework Directive.
• the basis for further cooperation and projects
  was laid down

• the basis for further cooperation and projects
  was laid down for new projects
• Meeting needs of Tourism Industry
• (Istria, Kvarner Bay/Opatija ... And many other
  sites)
• Optimize costs of WWTP
• Energy use / electricity
• sludge production and quality (stabilization)
  related to better means of sludge management like
