MAR2PROTECT at Aqua Fórum 2022

MAR2PROTECT at Aqua Fórum 2022

This last 2nd of December, the MAR2PROTECT project appeared in the Aqua Fórum 2022 by the hand of the project coordinator Ana B. Pereiro from NOVA.

Here, she talked about what the project is all about and the steps it will follow to accomplish great results in the future of its life term.

This initiative is organized by the Intermunicipal Community of Alto Tâmega e Barroso in partnership with AquaValor and aims to enhance the resource “Water” as an aggregator element of the territory, in its four fundamental dimensions – Thermalism, Agriculture, Tourism and Energy, as a distinctive/identitary value, aggregator and potentiator of economic growth of the region.

MAR2PROTECT – which was launched last December 1st- will provide a holistic approach to prevent groundwater contamination from climate change impacts, through different innovative technologies. 

Additionally, ‘Kick off Meeting’ will be held next 12th-13th December at the FEUGA base in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. This meeting will take place to explore future steps during this project’s four-year life term.

MAR2PROTECT Demosites

MAR2PROTECT Demosites

To ensure a high replication potential, M-AI-R Decision Support System will collect information from 7 demo sites in 4 European countries (Portugal, Italy, Spain, Netherlands) and 2 in non-European countries (Tunisia, South Africa).

These demo sites were selected to be the representative of a wide panorama in terms of climatic conditions, type of groundwater pollution, water sources used for Managed Aquifer Recharge, political/societal context, and to maximize the potential replication of the MAR2PROTECT holistic approach and impact. All demo sites include a coastal aquifer affected by salinity intrusion. Demo sites were carefully chosen by their degree of maturity from previous successful projects developed by the partners.

The list of demo sites includes: Katwijk, Tunisia, Frielas, Emilia-Romagna, Cape Flats, Marbella and Lima River Estuary

You can learn all things related to the demo site on their specific pages in our section for Demo Sites on our web.
