Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
Most countries in European Union are suffering severe water scarcity caused by a negative balance between water resources and water demands. A sustainable management of hydrological resources results totally necessary, as it is established by the European Water Framework Directive (60/2000/EC), which makes compulsory for every water management authority in EU to prepare a river basin management plan by the end of this year 2009. In order to fulfil these obligations and considering the complexity of water bodies control and the undefined future scenario provided by climate change, there is an imperative demand of the use of integrated management tools and methods, such as computerized models. Thus, integrated Water Resources Management must be faced from a multisectorial point of view, involving scientific research, social and economic aspects and administrative proceedings. The NOVIWAM project will tackle these challenges by synthesizing the different perspectives of research institutions, authorities and entrepreneurs, introducing them into promotion of interregional co-operation. Based on several top level research results in water management and leaded by a consolidated cluster managed by a regional authority with exclusive competences on a major European river, the project will establish an European network to strengthen synergies between regional, national and EU initiatives addressing the Integrated Management RTD and innovation challenges. NOVIWAM aims to establish long-lasting links between clusters throughout the regions, and allow the triple-helix components to benefit from the scale economies deriving from this multilevel and interregional co-operation. Mentoring activities are strongly considered, as specific needs of clusters from a candidate country (Albania) and insularity problems (Cyprus), have been included. NOVIWAM will produce a Joint Action Plan (JAP) at European level with specific measures and calendar beyond the end of the project.
Introduzione (Teaser)
A recent collaboration between research, industry and academia in the Mediterranean has produced a plan for coordinated water management research in the EU.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Water scarcity is a growing problem in the EU, particularly in the Mediterranean region. The Water Framework Directive (WFD) was established to sustainably manage the EU's dwindling water resources, but requires a coordinated effort between research, industry and administration.
The EU-funded http://www.noviwam.eu (NOVIWAM) (Novel integrated water management systems for southern European regions) project aimed to create long-lasting links between these three sectors. This cooperation will help foster the integrated water management strategy as laid out in the WFD.
Five regional clusters took part in the NOVIWAM project, namely Albania, Cyprus, France (Poitou-Charentes), Portugal (Northern Hydrographic Region) and Spain (Andalusia).
A significant part of NOVIWAM focused on analysing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of each cluster. During the course of the SWOT analysis, researchers also produced a report on the status of southern European catchment areas.
Project partners used the findings of the SWOT analysis to formulate a joint action plan for integrated water management research, taking into account the needs of the three sectors of the clusters, and specially of the Public Administration. This was achieved through joint workshops and a final conference held at the end of the project.
Other NOVIWAM activities included research exchanges between regional clusters and several training sessions. The project also published various reports and academic papers.
NOVIWAM has taken steps to make the guidelines in the WFD a reality by promoting cooperation between administration, research and industry at the regional level. In the long term, this work will help the EU deal with its growing water crisis.
