Supporting decision-making and adaptation policies to address water scarcity and water stress
MARCLAIMED is an EU-funded project aimed at integrating the solutions Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) with Alternative Water Resources (AWR) to mitigate water stress and proactively manage droughts. This integration is essential for the sustainable use of both surface and groundwater resources.

Building Trust in Alternative Water Resources: A Joint Webinar by the AWR4Climate Cluster
The AWR4Climate Cluster, a collaborative initiative between the MARCLAIMED, AWARD, and RECREATE projects, together with Water Europe are organising an online webinar 'How to become a Water-Oriented Living Lab', from 10:00 to 11:30 AM (CEST). The 90-minute online session will tackle one of the most critical hurdles in the water sector: the gap between innovative technological solutions and their widespread [...]
Strengthening water resilience in a changing climate
Climate change is increasing pressure on water resources and making future conditions more difficult to predict. A new report from the UN Environment Programme warns that global warming is expected to exceed 1.5°C. This risk could mean extreme weather, damage to ecosystems and growing pressure on water supplies, food production, cities and infrastructure. Reducing emissions remains essential, but communities and [...]
Building drought resilience underground
Europe is facing a dual water challenge, with prolonged scarcity affecting some regions while intense rainfall and flooding threaten others. Declining rainfall and excessive groundwater extraction are reducing natural aquifer recharge, while flooding can overwhelm drainage systems, damage infrastructure and contaminate water sources. Responding to these pressures requires water to be retained during wet periods rather than drained away immediately. [...]
