The strategy will serve as a roadmap to improve water management and enhance resilience in rural SUDOE areas within a climate change context, building on all experiences from GestEAUr. It will draw on the solutions identified in GT1, the results from the GT2 pilot tests, and simulations from the SID_AQUARURAL tool (GT3), enabling optimized, real-time management through artificial intelligence.
The GestEAUr project aims to improve water management in rural areas of the SUDOE region (France, Spain, and Portugal) to increase water resilience in the context of climate change. A comprehensive strategy will be developed to be efficient, adapted to local needs, and sustainable, along with five specific regional action plans. Additionally, three pilot tests will be implemented to optimize water purification, treatment, and reuse processes, and the digital tool SID_AQUARURAL will be created to monitor water quality and quantity in real-time, supporting decision-making. Through these actions, GestEAUr seeks to strengthen the sustainability and resilience of rural communities in the face of climate challenges.
I-ReWater analyses the current state of water resources in the SUDOE area, paying special attention to the use of reclaimed water in irrigated agriculture, and its effects on crop production and quality, promoting resilience and water security.
The GestEAUr project promotes sustainable and efficient water management in rural SUDOE areas through innovation, collaboration, and solutions tailored to climate change.
The European project SOLLAGUA, driven by a transnational consortium of ten entities, promotes nature-based solutions (NBS) for water reuse in rural areas of Spain, Portugal and France.
Context and Challenge The freshwater resources of the SUDOE region are subject to increasing anthropogenic pressure, causing problems of water scarcity and quality, conflicts of
Climate and Resources: A New Balance to Find In recent decades, Europe has experienced record-breaking heat, with the years 2020, 2022, 2019, 2015, and 2014
