Description:
The project aimed to demonstrate environmental benefits of self-management systems for water-related communities. This would help achieve more rational use of water and favour control in overused hydro-systems in hydro-graphic basin management. Specific objectives included: - Elaborating and initiating an ‘expert irrigation system support’ in pilot fields, to improve cultivation standards, reduce water demands and adjust to real time needs. - Extrapolating results to all cultivation fields in overused aquifers to obtain potential environmental benefits. - Demonstrating the viability of the water demand management system to allow coordination in executing the Framework Directive on Waters and Habitats and facilitate application of Common Agricultural Policy measures. - Training current and new farmers in water system self-control. - Increasing public awareness as to overused aquifers and promoting a new water culture, more rational use and installation of systems to manage water demand.
