Strategic Harmonization and Resource Enhancement in the MEDiterranean: Advancing Water Management and Innovation through Non- Conventional Resources

The SHARE.MedWATER project aims at fostering the reuse of unconventional waters (with particular reference to rainwater and greywater) contributing to decrease the stress of existing water systems. Though a cross-border/transnational/inter-regional approach, the PPs will collaborate to achieve the following specific objectives and outputs: STUDY and evaluate different technologies for unconventional water treatment allowing the reuse of unconventional waters, depending on their original quality and required resulting quality in relation to different reuses. On the basis of existing models for energy communities, DEFINE and TEST an hydro-economic model for unconventional water collection, treatment and reuse, at community level (named SHARE.water community). TRANSFER the “SHARE.water community” model at district level and TESTING the inclusion of unconventional water in the current water system and strategies in selected districts. Though participative initiatives (involving water service actors, research centers, private sector as well as associations and citizens, are expected), as well as awareness raising and capacity building activities the project aims to promote, the need of the “water transition”, that similarly to the energy transition, can be defined as “a major structural change
