First two consortium meetings

WATERUN (2022-2026) has officially started on the 1 st June 2022. The global aim of WATERUN is to develop an innovative methodology to contribute to the implementation of urban water runoff (UWR) management plans in cities based on the Water-Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) concept. This methodology will provide preventive and mitigation solutions and best management practices adopting a holistic perspective (from source identification to decision making) for diffuse water pollution control in urban catchments. The target is to transform the UWR management by the development of identification, planning and risk-based tools and new working procedures (guidance) with the early involvement of the main urban water management and governance actors (co-creation process), ensuring a wider and faster adoption.

To initiative the working process, the consortium has met twice over the first three  months of the project.A virtual face to face meeting took place at the end of June on the 28 & 29 June. Partners could introduce their organisation, role in the project and discuss the overall time frame of the project.

The consortium met at AIMEN facilities in Spain on the 21-22 September to deepen the common understanding of the work plan and the overflow among the seven work packages. Each WP leader prepared presentations on the tasks to be accomplished over the first year of the project and open up on the discussion to the whole consortium.
