WP3 : IWRM in non-EU countries



Facilitating the transfer of IWRM principle to non-EU countries

The SPI-Water project proposes a number of concrete actions to bridge gaps in communication by developing and implementing a ‘science-policy interface’, focusing on setting up a mechanism to enhance the use of RTD results in the Water Framework Directive (WFD) implementation.

The objective of Workpackage 3 (WP3) of the project is to facilitate the transfer of IWRM principles to non-EU countries. The main objective of this work package is to further adapt and develop the Med EUWI/WFD Joint Process to help non-EU countries to better benefit from the knowledge accumulated by EU-countries during the implementation of the WFD.

The main tasks of WP3 are:
  • water policy experiences in non-EU countries and to compare with the current WFD practices; to perform a need assessment of 2 Mediterranean river basins
  • To study the applicability of WFD practices to non-EU countries and to identify activities for facilitating its implementation in non-EU countries.
  • To disseminate the obtained results to non-EU countries.

    Overview on the tasks of WP3:
  • Task 3.1 : Bridging intputs and needs for non-EU countries
  • Task 3.2 : Detailed description of selected river basins and identification of needs
  • Task 3.3 : Matching with WFD RTD solutions to the river basins needs
  • Task 3.4 : Development of recommendations
