The WaterCoRe project provided an exchange platform for water scarcity and drought issues on regional and local level.
The 14 partners from 7 EU Member States committed to exchanging good practices and adapting these to their local or regional conditions. The overall objective of the project was to create tools to improve water management in all regions of Europe. In addition, the partners aimed at raising the awareness of inhabitants and stakeholders in partner regions about the water saving potential. The thematic working groups covered various topics such as the demand-side of water management, handling drought periods, climate change effects, public awareness and participation.
The project resulted in a digital exchange platform, a good practice handbook, a survey specifying the opportunities to exchange good practices within the partnership, regional action plans to transfer experiences between regions, an e-learning programme with thematic modules as well as policy recommendations.
Supported by the WaterCoRe project, the Italian director Antonio Martino produced a short film ‘The anomalous behaviour of water’.
