benefit of governance in DROught adaPtation

Closed

The aim of the DROP project is to increase the resilience of NWE catchments to periods of drought.. DROP will develop a governance toolkit to be used by NWE regional water authorities and will test a few pilot measures on drought adaptation. The objectives of the project are 1) to promote the use of a European governance assessment toolkit to define regional drought adaptation; 2) to improve the effectiveness of drought adaptation measures for NWE areas. and 3) to enhance the preparedness of regional stakeholders in NWE in drought adaptation. To enhance the preparedness of NWE regions. the DROP project will work on improved measures and a better governance approach in defining drought adaptation. The DROP project will take a practical approach; realising concrete measures and improvements “on the ground” is our aim. but based on solid scientific methods. We will urge NWE regions to be ready. and take early action in drought adaptation. To support other NWE regions the project will develop tools. support and guidance that will benefit the whole NWE area in the process of adapting to drought and water scarcity situations. likely to increase in NWE in the near future.
