The GEA's research activity is multidisciplinary and focuses mainly on the water resources sector. In general, it consists of the development of methodologies to achieve optimal water management, integrating economic, technical, environmental and social aspects. Through a multidisciplinary approach, a series of lines of work are addressed based on the optimisation of wastewater treatment technologies, efficiency analysis in water resource management, economic and environmental feasibility studies for reuse projects and the design of economic, social and environmental profitability indicators associated with investment proposals in the field of water. At the same time, it addresses the quantitative assessment of the environmental benefits derived from water quality improvement through different methodologies and develops tools that allow the different stages of the urban water cycle to be monitored, managed and analysed, strengthening decision-making processes. One of the basic lines of research is directed towards wastewater management and reuse within the framework of the circular economy.

One of the basic lines of research is directed towards wastewater management and reuse within the framework of the circular economy. Specifically, it analyses the costs of the different wastewater treatment technologies, the efficiency of the treatment processes and the feasibility of different maintenance and improvement projects for WWTPs. In addition to considering the economic aspects of WWTP management and reuse, environmental factors (understood as externalities and the benefits of good management) and social factors (perception and social acceptance of reclaimed water and reuse as a future solution) are addressed. Contributions are also made in the field of mathematical optimisation, especially in the analysis of energy efficiency and optimisation under uncertainty in the data.
