Joint Water REsources management System for Long-term Efficiency

The overall objective of the project WRESTLE is to design and implement a Joint System in Greek - Bulgarian CB area for the sustainable management of the CB water resources available. The Joint System will facilitate protection of water quality/quantity and ensure efficient use in response to EU Directives and National legislative acts. In the context of the project new methods related to water management will be jointly developed and adapted to the CB area conditions. Already developed and available information technologies will be exploited to implement a Joint system for monitoring water resources efficient use in order to minimize misuse/overuse of the resources or network leakages and prevent any other unpredictable failures of the current system that lead to a huge waste of resources at a yearly basis. Moreover, providing a holistic approach beneficiaries will work together in order to analyze the cross-border existing conditions and jointly develop a common cross-border approach for sustainable water management contributing to the adaptation of the Water Framework Directive requirements. The project will provide CB competent authorities and involved stakeholders with a detailed policy guide both for short-medium term and long term achievements.
