Die Diskussion um Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) hat weltweit eine sehr große Dynamik erreicht. Die Kenntnis existierender und geplanter Projekte ermöglichte es den Branchen Motivationen, Technologien und geographische Schwerpunkte zu identifizieren und daraus das Marktpotenzial und innovative Entwicklungsansätze abzuleiten. Weltweit sind mehr als 295 Anlagen in Betrieb, wobei die Anzahl seit 2007 stark zugenommen hat und weiteres Wachstum zu erwarten ist. Gründe für die Installation einer ZLD‐Anlage sind Wassermangel, gesetzliche Vorgaben, Firmenphilosophie und Kosteneinsparungen.
Climate change enhances pluvial flood risk in many cities all over the world, especially in densely populated urban areas with high impervious surfaces that need to adapt to heavy precipitation. For this purpose, multifunctional stormwater infrastructures such as water plazas appear promising as there is a high competition for open space in most urban areas. Yet, to date only very few water plazas have been realized with at least one implementation hampered by a lack of public acceptance. In this study, semi-structured interviews are used to investigate how plans to build a water plaza in the city of Cologne are perceived by local residents. Factors crucial to public acceptance are identified. Experience with flooding, knowledge of the planned construction and awareness of benefits turned out to be important for acceptance, whereas social and personal norms were less relevant. The identified factors led to finding recommendations to promote public acceptance of innovative climate adaptation measures like water plazas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
