Climate Change and Impacts on Water Supply (CC-WaterS)

This object has been archived because its content is outdated.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

Description:

CC-WaterS will identify and evaluate resulting impacts on availability and safety of public drinking water supply for several future decades. Elaborated measures to adapt to those changes build the ground for a Water Supply Management System regarding optimization of water extraction, land use restrictions, and socio-economic consequences under climate change scenarios for water suppliers in South East Europe. The joint actions to produce this technical system will be performed on a transnational level in the Alps, Danube Middle and Lower Plains and coastal areas representing different South East European-characteristic climates and topography. In CC-WaterS, governmental bodies, water suppliers and research institutions work together and implement jointly developed solutions, hence to be applied on a regional or local level. The main result of CC-WaterS is a water supply management system, regarding optimization of water extraction and land use restrictions under climate change scenarios for water suppliers in South East Europe:
* determination of imbalances based on different water demands;
* information strategies for SEE public, policy makers and stakeholders about relation among ecosystem services, water treatment and costs;
* profit from best practices in land use for safeguarding recharge areas for future water supply for stakeholders and end users;
* increased awareness of stakeholders and policy makers of relations between water supply management measures and socio-economic aspects;
* sustainable national, regional and local water supply management practice
