BSR WATER
Platform on Integrated Water Cooperation (2018-2021)
BSR WATER
aims to enhance continuous cross-sectoral cooperation and knowledge transfer in
water management in the BSR countries. The project partnership represents a
variety of water-related projects: Interactive Water Management (IWAMA),
Advanced manure standards for sustainable nutrient management and reduced
emissions (Manure Standards), Water emissions and their reduction in village
communities (VillageWaters), Better Efficiency for Industrial Sewage Treatment
(BEST), Integrated Storm Water Management (iWater), and Reviving Baltic
Resilience (RBR).
In the project, an interactive online water management platform, called Baltic Smart Water Hub, is created. Solutions are collected covering broad variety of water-related issues (smart nutrient management and sludge handling, storm water management, domestic and industrial waste water treatment, manure management and energy efficiency). The outcomes and practical findings of the contributing projects are used to facilitate the long-term development of regional environmental policy and recommendations as well as aligned marco-regional and national environmental policies further promoting implementation of advanced water protection measures resulting in clean and resilient Baltic Sea Region. The BSR WATER project is co-financed by Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme.
