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.
