Integrated Water Management System in crossborder area

The common challenge of the programme area is the lack of a related integrated plan for the water management system ,including[u1] wastages and high consumption levels (civil, industrial and agriculture). Specific needs are: 1)water quality; 2)Waste generation and Ri-use; 3)Water use reduction; 4) conserving, improving and promoting a rational use of surface waters and groundwater; 5) manage services in delivering drinking water and waste water treatment. To respond to these common problems it is also necessary to improve institutional capacity and create conditions to establish an efficient and effective water management system. The main Objective of the project is to establish an efficient and effective crossborder Water Management System (WMS).The main outputs are: O.T1 Cross-broder Integrated Plan on WMS ; O.T. 2 n° 4 pilot initiatives one for each country involved, to be realized in according to he integrated plan "WMS" : 1)APULIA water resource protection and energy optimization“; 2) MOLISE "strategies and techniques for optimization of Water supply management”; 3) TIRANA "water supply network in Kasalla Village "; 4) Montenegro "monitoring, control and protection of the Bolje sestre spring”;OT3 creation of a Common WMS Policy paper. Moreover, to improve integrated local water culture, it‘s provided a Crossborder awareness campaign on water use and re use addressed to citizens , in particulary youth and families. The water management and environmental issues don’t have geografical, political and social borders, thus it is necessary to face this challenge through cross-border and international cooperation. For this reason, the approach is participatory, from the cooperation of technical experts and policy makers from the different countries , to the citizens collaboration.Capacity building activities will strength the project approach , by improving the cross-border framework conditions for water management.
