Water resources efficiency and conservative use in drinking water supply systems

Closed

The project’s main objective is the sustainable cross –border drinking water supply management aiming at water resources efficiency and conservative use through: 1. Adaptation of a joint methodological framework for water resources management (qualitatively and quantitatively) in relation to the climate change and the natural and human activities and reduction of the water resources vulnerability. 2. Increase water use efficiency through the reduction of Non-Revenue Water and water losses in the water supply networks by implementing measures tackling NRW causes. 3. Improve water quality and safety in the whole drinking water supply cycle, from the water resources to the water distribution network and back to the environment through the continuous. monitoring of water quality parameters in real time and the in line disinfection to reduce the risk of low chlorine residuals and excessive concentrations of THMs (toxic substances causing cancer). 4. Increase innovative technologies use through the integrated management of water resources including GIS-based applications;hydraulic simulation models & decision support systems. 5. Development of “green behavior”, increase water saving & reduce water consumption through public awareness campaigns.
