AQUARES brought together 10 partners from 9 countries, to achieve efficient water management through water reuse, profit from the opportunities in the water market, and secure the protection of water bodies.
Water reuse is a key approach to both promote resource efficiency in water scarce areas of Europe, and to profit from opportunities in the expanding water market, thereby alleviating pressure on wetlands and littoral areas of Europe. The EC “Strategic Implementation Plan of the European Innovation Partnership on Water, was set in place to promote and support efficient water management in Europe where water scarcity affects 11% of its population.
In this context, AQUARES supported public authorities to initiate efforts, join forces and exchange experiences to:
- identify viable strategies to utilize water reuse to confront inefficient uses of water
- make the most of EU financing tools, and
- promote public dialogue to address conflicting interests.
The project was funded under Interreg Europe.
