Get started with water recycling and stabilise local water supply!
This Toolbox provides practical guidance and concrete inspiration for municipalities, water companies, and other interested parties in the Baltic Sea Region.
Once considered mainly a challenge for southern regions, water resilience has, over the past decades, become an urgent issue around the Baltic Sea as well. Accelerated by climate change, increasingly extreme shifts in precipitation patterns now result in periods of either too much or too little water, at times causing severe challenges for local water supply. One effective way to counter these problems is water recycling, especially when the reuse of municipal wastewater and the creation of micro-loops in households and industry is combined with the retention and recirculation of rainwater.
In the Water Recycling Toolbox, you’ll find inspiration as well as practical advice for getting started with water recycling in different formats, including:
- Replicable technical-organisational solutions for typical use cases, adapted to the specific conditions of the Baltic Sea Region.
- Examples of regional pathways & action plans that illustrate strategic approaches to stabilising local water supply through water recycling.
- A wide range of further resources and materials, including:
- documentation of policy dialogue,
- practical tools to shape local measures and strategies,
- best practices from other parts of Europe.
- Need tailored advice? Our Helpdesk connects you directly with practitioners for further, in-depth, personal support.

Water recycling in practice
About the WaterMan project and the Water Core Group of Euroregion Baltic
Within the WaterMan project, an international team of municipalities, water companies & domain experts from Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Lithuania & Latvia developed a Baltic Sea Region specific approach to water recycling. It is based on pilot measures & model strategies that were implemented in seven partner regions around the Baltic Sea, and makes use of the alteration of too much and too little water that has become typical for the area to strengthen the resilience of local water supply. Building on this approach, this Toolbox help municipalities and water companies adapt their strategies to the impacts of climate change.
The Water Core Group of Euroregion Baltic is an international exchange & cooperation platform on water management for local & regional authorities in the Baltic Sea Region that was established in 2005. It is the initiator of the WaterMan project, which was implemented within the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme between Jan 2023 and Dec 2025, co-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund)
