SAmpSONS

New and alternative sanitation systems are more and more within the focus of attention also in Germany, considering reduced availa­bility of resources, decreasing water consumption and demographic and cli­ma­tic changes. Such systems aim at reuse of limited resources (e.g. nutrients) and at a more sustainable manage­ment of water resources. Within the SAmpSONS project, the first version of a simulator has been developed (https://www.ifak.eu/en/products/sampsons), which allows the visualisation of resource fluxes in new and alternative sanitation systes. Furthermore, SAmpSONS allows an assessment of such systems with regard to a number of sustainability criteria. Futher extensions of this simulator are envisaged.
