Transnational integrated management of water resources in agriculture for the EU WATER emergency control (EU.WATER)

This object has been archived because its content is outdated. You can still access it as legacy

Description:

The EU.WATER project, carried out in 8 rural study areas belonging to 8 SEE Countries, tackles the emergency related to water consumption and contamination in Europe, and aims at spreading, at transnational level, integrated water resource management in agriculture based on the optimization of water consumption and cutback of groundwater pollution.
Through a joint strategy and its downscaling within each Project Partner's governance framework (linking policy-makers, farmers, stakeholders, and researchers), EU.WATER moves towards the application of the EU Water and Nitrate Directives across SEE Countries, the development of adaptive-learning practices and innovative solution to contribute at the transition of local agriculture towards innovative and environmental-friendly measures, and the incentives to farmers to adopt eco-prescriptive practices.
EU.WATER, fostering the ongoing rural reforms and agricultural transformation process of most of the SEE Countries (some of them approaching the EU entry), has the capacity to positively influence the process for choosing agricultural management practices at the field scale, where the application of environmental protection measures bring to the stewardship of the natural resources and to the generation of incoming benefits in terms of crop’s productivity.
