Action plans

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.

Strategy to increase the use of regenerated water in agriculture

It will consist of an inclusive document including multilevel governance (local, regional, national and European). The strategy aims to improve the efficiency of water uses, as well as the sustainable management of water resources, contemplating regenerated water as an alternative water resource and that must be studied and mobilised for an efficient and inclusive management in the SUDOE space, focused on its use in the irrigation of crops. The development of a transnational, joint strategy will be obtained from an integrative vision (water resource modelling, life cycle analysis, and socio-economic analysis) with which an improvement of irrigation management is achieved, and therefore reducing the impact of crops on water resources, releasing the pressure on the drinking water system in global terms in the SUDOE space.

White Paper on improving public policies for the prevention and management of frost risk

This document, which will be produced jointly taking into account the results of the pilot tests in each territory, will contain a series of recommendations for its incorporation into public policies on the management of the damage caused by negative climate events in agriculture. Basically, it will promote the transition from an approach based on economic reparation of damages to another that considers anticipation and prevention as central elements. It will also incorporate a rigorous analysis of the role of agricultural insurance in terms of protection against frost risk, making proposals to achieve a work in synergy between insurers and policyholders that reduces the financial burden for both and leads to a balanced sharing of responsibilities and re-assessment of risk in view of existing prevention and mitigation measures.

Joint strategy and action plan for the management of jointly developed phosphates

Implementation 1 of Phos4Cycle seeks to develop a common strategy and an action plan for the management of phosphates associated with agricultural and livestock activity in rural areas to improve agricultural practices by applying preventive measures to reduce the transfer of forms of phosphorus to the aquatic environment, as well as corrective measures in water masses with a polluting presence. Beneficiary No 4 CPI shall coordinate the joint work of all partners. In addition, the strategy will include specific guidelines for reducing phosphate pollution in different agro-livestock production systems. Each partner will contribute to the definition of guidelines in the systems experienced in each pilot: dairy production (IPC-CALCOB), horticultural production (IPC-CALCOB), irrigated cereal production (ITAGRA), dehesa production (FEDEHESA), permanent woody crop production (DGAG_GR) and poultry production systems (ITAVI), making them more competitive. All these production systems are essential in the economy of the SUDOE area. The Action Plan, jointly developed by the partners to facilitate the adoption of the strategy, will then be adapted by each partner into a roadmap for each territory (WG3).
