projects-681 LIFE22-IPE-LT-LIFE-SIP-Vanduo/101104645 LIFE22-IPE-LT-LIFE SIP Vanduo Integrated water management in Lithuania LIFE Integrated Projects For Environment No data 2024-01-01 2033-12-31 On going € 019 797 487.00 The Project will implement the National Water Sector Plan, ensuring elimination or mitigation of significant impacts of prevailing pressures and contributing to achieving good status of surface and marine waters in line with the Water Framework and the Marine Strategy Framework Directives. To enhance efficiency of water resource management, the Project will increase competences and consolidate experts from environmental institutions, research and NGOs. The methods of assessing the status of surface water bodies will be improved by collecting additional data and conducting scientifically based expertise. The tools and methodology for improvement of pressures and impacts analysis will be elaborated and environmental objectives for all water bodies will be set based on ecosystem services approach and cost-benefit analyses. The Project will develop, test and demonstrate measures to address all pressures deteriorating surface waters: improved nutrient management on farms, control mechanisms for reducing negative impact of hydroelectric power plants, restoration of damaged river morphology, biomanipulation to restore good ecological status of lakes, natural water retention measures to reduce urban pollution, advanced wastewater treatment technology for reducing loads of micropollutants, innovative remote sensing techniques for identification of illegal pollution, and integrated water resources management showcase for a pilot catchment. The Project will ensure transfer of the developed solutions to other risk water bodies throughout all four river basin districts (RBD) of Lithuania by creating legal framework in synergy with agricultural policy, initiating dialogue with energy sector, by methodical guidance for replication, adopting experience for transboundary RBD, international collaboration network and awareness raising. The Project has mobilised EUR 825 million of European and national funds to leverage Project’s solutions to complementary actions of the Plan. https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/life/publicWebsite/project/LIFE22-IPE-LT-LIFE-SIP-Vanduo-101104645/integrated-water-management-in-lithuania Rivers and estuaries', 'Lake', 'Urban water', 'Coastal waters'
projects-682 LIFE94 NAT/B/001531 MARS MARS (Marsh Amelioration along the River Scheldt) LIFE Nature Coastal,Site rehabilitation - Decontamination,Hazardous waste 1995-01-01 2000-12-31 Completed No data The main objective of the MARS project was to undertake restoration work of degraded tidal marsh along the River Schelde. Actions were foreseen at four sites, totalling 200 ha: Lippensbroek, Groene Meirsch and Kijkverdriet (Belgium) and Kaloot in the Netherlands. The most important component of this project was to reduce the erosion eating away the freshwater tidal marshes. Foreseen actions included the raising of dykes, removal of contaminated soil and restoration of tidal inlets. The project actions hoped to restore damaged habitats and to kick off the natural development of new freshwater tidal marshes which would compensate the marshes lost elsewhere. By proving the feasibility of creating new marshes, the project sought to generate a model which could be employed during future dyke-building plans, as foreseen in the Belgian Sigma Plan. The project’s efforts were expected to allow future flood control construction works to be compatible with the conservation of freshwater tidal areas. As a joint effort between public bodies in Belgium and the Netherlands, the project hoped also to provide an incentive for the elaboration of a cross-border management plan for the Schelde. https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/life/publicWebsite/project/LIFE94-NAT-B-001531/mars-marsh-amelioration-along-the-river-scheldt Rivers and estuaries', 'Coastal waters', 'Wetlands'
projects-683 Q6841700 No data Improved knowledge of flood hazards and emergence of a flood prevention plan ERDF 2014-2020 Pays de la Loire - ERDF/ESF 2019-03-01 2023-06-30 Completed € 000 388 672.16 The project to improve knowledge related to flood hazard and emergence of a flood prevention plan is led by the Brivet Watershed Union. It aims to improve the union’s knowledge of the operation of the basin, prevent flooding and reduce the vulnerability of populations by informing them and raising awareness about the risk of floods. The union is the competent community for water and aquatic management across the Brivet watershed. It has been designated “referring structure” by the SAGE Estuaire de la Loire and leader by the Regional Council. The ERDF will co-finance two studies (on the hydrological operation of the Brivet watershed and carrying out communication materials, as well as animation on the Water Regulation), the post of staff member on mission, as well as material investments and small equipment. https://kohesio.ec.europa.eu/en/projects/Q6841700 Rivers and estuaries', 'Coastal waters'
projects-684 Q6842088 No data Feasibility study of local flood alert system ERDF 2014-2020 Interregional Loire - ERDF 2019-01-01 2022-12-31 Completed € 000 050 000.00 The operation carried out by the RLV CA consists of conducting a technical feasibility study of a local flood alert system to intervene in support of crisis management and vulnerability reduction. Obtaining a delay in anticipation of river overflows is essential to allow mayors and managers of establishments and residents to ensure their safety and thus reduce people’s vulnerability to flooding. The operation is eligible for Action 2 of the ERDF LOIRE IOP https://kohesio.ec.europa.eu/en/projects/Q6842088 Rivers and estuaries'
projects-685 Q6842694 No data Studies for the Preservation, Conquest and Management of Flood Expansion Areas ERDF 2014-2020 Interregional Loire - ERDF 2020-01-01 2023-08-31 Completed € 000 800 000.00 The operation carried out by Orléans Métropole consists of paying particular attention to the risks of flooding by setting up programs of studies to reduce vulnerability. This will make it possible to study and propose concrete strategies to preserve and/or restore flood expansion fields by providing answers and solutions to reduce the vulnerability of certain sectors but also to better define the measures to be taken to restore and manage flood expansion areas. The operation is eligible for Action 4 of Axis 1 of the ERDF LOIRE IOP. https://kohesio.ec.europa.eu/en/projects/Q6842694 Rivers and estuaries', 'Urban water'
