Main outcomes of SUWANU EUROPE

Our Main Outcomes

SUWANU EUROPE project has produced abundant materials to support our objective of extending water reuse practices in Europe and beyond. These materials shall enable an effective exchange of knowledge, experiences and skills between practitioners and relevant actors involved in water reuse for agricultural irrigation. This knowledge will boost the implementation of technological and organizational solutions all around Europe and thus result in a more resilient agricultural sector, able to effectively cope with water scarcity and climate change effects.

Regional characterization of the 8 target regions to assess the potential of the use of reclaimed water in agriculture

SWOT and AKIS analysis in each target region as the basis for the development of implementation strategies for water reuse

Participatory workshops with key actors to identify the different views and interests of a broad representation of society for the co-creation of strategies

Action Plans with specific objectives, recommendations and activities adapted to the regional context that facilitate the implementation of innovative solutions

Database of water reuse projects in Europe to promote the exchange of lessons learnt from different experiences

Fact-sheets on success stories with insights from successful water reuse implementation in Cyprus and Israel

Light-house initiatives with fact-sheets about relevant projects on water reuse which include interesting results and lessons learnt throughout Europe

Info-packages with practical knowledge to solve main constraints for water reuse implementation identified for different target groups

Policy briefs with regulatory measures and policy recommendations to overcome the identified barriers and facilitate the uptake of innovative solutions

Final Conference held in May 2021 gathering relevant actors in water reuse who shared their experience and knowledge in very interesting presentations

Practice abstracts with 100 initiatives on water reuse gathering most relevant information to learn from other’s experiences

Online courses and training sessions for different groups of actors that respond to their knowledge needs and increase the capacities of practitioners in the field of water reuse

Achieved impacts

Collection and distribution of easily accessible practice-oriented knowledge.

Development of “practice abstracts” in the common EIP-AGRI format and audio-visual material.

Conserve the practical knowledge for the long term - beyond the project period - using the main trusted dissemination channels which farmers/foresters consult most often, and also serve education and training purposes.

Increase the flow of practical information between farmers/foresters in Europe in a geographically balanced way, creating spill-overs and taking account of the differences between territories.

Achieve greater user acceptance of collected solutions and a more intensive dissemination of existing knowledge.
