Waterman partnership meeting

Yesterday marked the start of the meeting of all WaterMan project partners. The first day was devoted to presenting the final forms of pilot activities concerning water reuse in partner countries (PL, DK, SE, LT, LV, DE), discussing experiences from their implementation, presenting the results of the first evaluations, and discussing with an international panel of experts who shared recommendations for further optimization of solutions.

The aim of the meeting is to gather experiences, evaluate the effects, and jointly plan the next steps towards sustainable water management in the Baltic Sea region.

On the second day, a conference entitled “Nature-based solutions – a fad or a real need?” was held, which will be discussed in more detail in the next article. The third day of the meeting was devoted to the presentation of the final versions of regional water recycling strategies prepared by the project partners. Each project was discussed and evaluated by an international panel of experts, which allowed the activities to be viewed in the light of other countries' experiences. The second part of the day was devoted to planning the next steps in disseminating the project results, including the final version of the “Water Recycling Toolbox,” preparations for workshops and conferences (Sopot, Brussels, Kalmar), and the division of tasks and responsibilities among the partners.
