Description:

The main objective of the project is to improve the management of regional inland waterways and the regions adjacent to these waterways by promoting an integrated, sustainable and participatory approach. The project aims at developing recommendations for improved and state of the art governance models that will create a sound basis for more integrated regional policies to boost the socio/economic development of inland waterways and adjacent areas in a balanced way, through respecting nature and environment. By creating better conditions for a mixed use of regional waterways, taking into account environmental constraints, WFD, and the effects of climate change, the project will support the sustainable development of waterway regions. The project aims to develop recommendations for improved governance models that will create a sound basis for more integrated regional policies, respecting nature and the environment, e.g. by linking River Basin Management under the Water Framework Directive with spatial planning of the Regions adjacent to inland waterways.
