This deliverable aims at providing a summary of demEAUmed conference that took place in Barcelona on the 18th of May 2017, by providing the project meeting minutes of the different presentations as well as some pictures to illustrate how the event was organized. The presentations themselves, meaning the slide, are uploaded in the partner’s area of demEAUmed website. They are the core content of the event and this document is accompanying them.

The main objective of this deliverable is to document the development of the decision support system (DSS) for determining the environmental, economic, and social impacts of the installation/incorporation of water-saving and/or water-reuse technologies and practices in hotels. The creation of the DSS is achieved by the following objectives:
- Determine the organization/architecture of the DSS
- Development a water cycle model
- Integrate water reuse technology modules
- Integration of environmental/economic/social impacts

Mini report prepared by LGI Consulting in the framework of demEAUmed project. November 2016 Water supply will be an important issue for decades to come. Increasing water consumption due to global trends such as urbanisation, demographic growth and ageing populations will lead, if not regulated, controlled or reused, to more wastewater production and is expected to threaten the environment with a diminution of available water sources, a situation exacerbated by droughts intensified by climate change. Wastewater will have to be treated to avoid environmental pollution and sanitary problems, but can also represent an important and promising source of water, with regards to the expected severe water scarcities worldwide, like the Euro-Mediterranean region.From a business point of view, the wastewater market is therefore extremely interesting and is already currently fast growing, a growth boosted by new legislations in the domain of wastewater and water reuse in several countries and at international level. In this context, tourism is an important actor as it impacts water resources in several ways.This mini report analyses the global water recycling and reuse challenges and links them with particular conditions of the tourist sector and the MEDA region.

Produced by ICRA and LEITAT The objective of this deliverable is to propose a preliminary design of the decision support system (DSS) that will be used to determine the environmental, economic, and social impacts of the installation/incorporation of water-saving and/or water-reuse technologies and practices in hotels.This document is aimed towards the consortium partners of the demEAUmed project, which will provide information on the life cycle as well as their technologies operation for their subsequent incorporation in the DSS. This document will begin with a preliminary design of the DSS, followed by the summary of the existing research on water use in hotels, as well as existing water cycle models.Then, using one of the existing water cycle models, a simulation of hotel water use will be summarized to determine the impact of water use technologies on potable water use. Next, the incorporation of a technology library will be explained as well as the progress on its information gathering.
