Water Management

Water Management

Improved environmental status in ecosystems and reduced adverse effects of pollution and other human activities

The programme has addressed water management needs in sensitive areas and islands, including projects for water conservation and desalination for providing clean water. It has also promoted the use of innovative technologies and renewable energy sources. Additionally, it has supported public awareness activities, such as the “Water matters” campaign, targeting students, residents, and visitors in Santorini, Ios, Leros, Kalymnos, Pserimos, and Telendos to raise awareness about water resource management.

Under this programme, projects have been funded for desalination units, upgrades of old desalination units with innovative technologies to address brine disposal, and the use of renewable energy sources. Projects to reduce water leaks and losses, such as telemetry systems, have also been supported. Some projects have been carried out in cooperation with local or international partners, including the donor countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.
