Public water government
City of Amsterdam
• Drinking water
• Sewerage
• Storm water
• Groundwater
• Shipping and inland waterways
Regional Water Authority Amstel, Gooi and Vecht
• Flood protection
• Water level management
• Water quality control
• Waste water treatment
Waternet foundation
waternet vision resource recovery Waste water Explanation (in Dutch)
Public water government: The Watercycle Company Waternet
City of Amsterdam
• Drinking water
• Sewerage
• Storm water
• Groundwater
• Shipping and inland waterways
Regional Water Authority Amstel, Gooi and Vecht
• Flood protection
• Water level management
• Water quality control

Core Values • Adequate
• Sustainable
• Customer Oriented
Waternet foundation
Resilient urban development
Liveability Energy & resources production
City marketing
Present challenge: Connecting water
Healthy living
wastewater treatment plant
waste fired power plant
Avoided use greengas: 1,8 million m3/year
Avoided emission greenhouse gas: 3.200 ton CO2-eq/year
sludge (100 kton/yr)
biogas (25.000 m3/day)
electricity (20.000 MWh/yr)
restheat (50.000 GJ/yr)
The Philosophy of Waternet and partners
Take-make-dispose
The world is changing
How to make it SMART: act local
From Policy -> Action Focus: what can we do, our influence
Environmental benefit: 1000
No plastics, no transportation
Energy from water
robust combinations
surface water
wastewater
drinking water
ground water

Resource recovery from waste water
WWTP as a resource-plant Solving operation problems leads to a new resource
(struvite/fertilizer)
• Higher energy production Waste to Energy Plant
• Lower costs for maintenance
• Production 1000 ton P for fertilizer (3 ton/day)
(NH4)MgPO4.6(H2O)

Aquatic plants, water plants, roadside grass ->
Bio composite

From Reeds, Aquatic Plants, grass, cellulose
to a bench
… to camp shedding?
From waste to resource
Energy and Resource Factory in the Netherlands
from waste water into a goldmine
Collaboration is needed for changing the system
Critical Parameters: • Volume • Quality • Continuity
• Within the Amsterdam Region
• With the Regional Water Authorities in The Energy/Nutrients Factory
