SPI-Water project has published its recomendations
The purpose of this leaflet is to give recommendations on the transfer of valuable water management knowledge to non-EU countries.
This leaflet is based on a two-year experience and knowledge exchange between EU and non-EU water experts who have studied the applicability of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) practices to non-EU countries.
The SPI-Water project proposes now a set of recommendations to facilitate the transfer of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) principles to non- EU countries to offer solutions for increasing
needs and challenges in the water sector.
This leaflet explains how to achieve the following main objectives:
• Transfer to non-EU research programmes managers the knowledge acquired in EU countries for the implementation of the WFD for adaptation to regional specificities;
• Transfer non-EU IWRM research to non-EU water managers and transfer needs from non-EU water managers to research;
• Transfer experiences from EU water managers to non-EU water managers, and between non-EU water managers.
The main key principles to reach the above objectives are to promote:
• knowledge accessibility through a web-portal;
• partnerships and participatory process for meeting water needs through focused research;
• networking between EU and non-EU water managers in transferring WFD practices to non-EU river basins;
• the development of twinning programmes between river basin organisations.
