| Description: | AWARD WILL PROVIDE EVIDENCE-BASED SOLUTIONS TO CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE WATER RESOURCES (AWRS) INTO THE WATER SUPPLY STRATEGIC PLANS, BASED ON SOCIO-POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT. THE 4 DEMO CASES (ITALY, SPAIN, ROMANIA, CYPRUS) OF AWARD ARE ALREADY IMPLEMENTING AWRS. THROUGH THE PROJECT ACTIVITIES, DEMO CASES WILL CONSIDER SCALING UP THEIR ACTIONS TAKING IN ACCOUNT A BROADER RANGE OF AWRS TOGETHER WITH CONVENTIONAL WATER RESOURCES FOR PLANNING FUTURE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS AT LOCAL OR REGIONAL LEVEL USING AWARD INSTRUMENTS (LOCAL WATER FORA, DIGITAL PLATFORM FOR DECISION MAKING, TRAINING AND GUIDANCE). THEY WILL ADDRESS SIMILAR ISSUES IN A HARMONISED AND COORDINATED WAY. SOCIETAL AWARENESS TO SUPPORT THE DECISION PROCESS ON AWRS SUPPLY SOLUTIONS WILL LEAD TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER USE OF AWRS . THE AWARD AWRS CATALOGUE WILL GATHER THE PROJECT RESULTS AND ADDITIONAL SOLUTIONS WHICH WILL BE BENCHMARKED. THE DIGITAL PLATFORM PROVIDED BY AWARD WILL SUPPORT THE EXPLORATION OF RESILIENT SCENARIOS THAT WILL BE PROMOTED BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT THANKS TO DEDICATED NETWORKING ACTIVITIES. AWARD GENERAL OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE-BASED KNOWLEDGE AND LESSONS LEARNT ON HOW TO EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATE AFFORDABLE, ACCEPTABLE AND RELIABLE AWRS SOLUTIONS INTO WATER SUPPLY STRATEGIC PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERING THE EFFECT OF GLOBAL CHANGES. |
