EPIDOR, lead partner of the TARGET project, AMAyA and CEREMA, project partners, participated in the REUSE EUROMED 2024 conference ‘Euro-Mediterranean Conference on Wastewater Reuse’ organised in Montpellier on 29-30 October.
On this occasion, Catherine Franck-Neel (CEREMA) presented a paper on the integration of wastewater reuse in regional water management strategies in France and Spain. This paper, co-authored by Amélie Bresson (EPIDOR), Isabel Martín García (AMAyA) and Karine Maubert-Sbile (CEREMA), is a summary of the first results of the analysis of water governance in France, Spain and Portugal carried out within the framework of the TARGET project. This analysis was based in particular on the organisation of three workshops involving various water governance stakeholders in France (21/05/2024), Portugal (22/05/2024) and Spain (25/06/2024).
During the two-day conference, TARGET partners shared with other stakeholders from around the Mediterranean the challenges and possible solutions to address water scarcity. One of the main conclusions of this Euro-Mediterranean conference was the need to implement concerted and planned territorial strategies at appropriate scales, in line with the objectives pursued by the TARGET project in Southwest Europe.
