WABIN

The WABIN project tackles the need, identified by the Italy-Slovenia Programme, to propose and implement specific interventions to promote adaptation to climate change, sustainable water management and protection of water and hydrogeological resources from economic, social and environmental perspectives. The cooperation area presents critical issues in terms of nonhomogeneity of water availability in time and space and water management inefficiency. This condition leads to alterations in natural hydrological regimes caused by excessive withdrawal pressure, a poor vision of water consistency and an intensification of the effects of climate change.

WABIN aims to promote the sustainable management of water resources and the protection of aquifers through the integration of methodologies applied at

hydrogeological basin level with the support of water balance forecast models useful for obtaining reliable estimations on consistency and use of water resources. Furthermore, the Project promotes the application of adequate and inclusive participation tools to intervene on adaptation to climate change and on the phenomena of contamination, waste and water risk.
