Tielt, Kieber & Peer residence

The Belgian case study focuses on researching the role of water and climate in two business parks and one residential area promoting sustainable living. While rainwater collection is mandated by law for both industrial companies and households, its reuse remains limited and unevenly distributed. The demonstration sites are implementing various measures to reuse and upgrade water for processes like cooling, industrial use, irrigation, and domestic purposes through multi-stakeholder partnerships. The primary challenge lies in establishing water pricing mechanisms for secondary water, which is crucial for sustainably managing ongoing investments in the demonstration sites.
