Master Plan for the Substitution of Conventional Resources by NCA Resources

The objective of this pilot activity is to test the applicability of the TARGET strategy to the Dordogne river basin (A.1.5). The test procedures and methodologies will have been prepared in advance by CESEEAP. It will be implemented in accordance with the 4 pillars of the Strategy and respecting its 3 principles. It will allow for the implementation, after critical analysis and adaptation, of solutions tested by project partners and associated partners, in other contexts, at river basin level (in particular CEREMA’s “Resilience Compass” and ECF multi-criteria mapping analysis). The action will lead to the development of a master plan for the sustainable management of the water resources of the Dordogne basin, which will make it possible to replace the fragile water resources of the basin with unconventional water resources (regenerated waters, rainwater, grey water). This master plan will indicate, for each sector and use of the Dordogne river basin, the appropriateness of using non-conventional waters and, if so, the means to be applied (agents, techniques and financing). Following the evaluation of the implementation of the pilot action by CESEEAP, a methodological guide for the implementation of the TARGET strategy at river basin level will be developed. It will contain the tools and methods for the application of the principles (efficient use, RANC, innovation) and pillars of the Strategy (current situation, consultation, forecasting, action plan) at basin level. This guide will be used later by AMAYA and its partner JUNTA DE ANDALUCIA in an Andalusian river basin. The master plan will be adopted by EPIDOR’s governing bodies and feedback sessions on the approved TARGET strategy and evaluation of the pilot action will be organised, in particular with the partner ANEB.
