Our #GAIN project, implemented by GIZ Jordan in cooperation with the @Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Industry and Trade and funded by Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has published a series of three booklets that outline easy and accessible technical solutions to support #greentransition in medium and large scale enterprises in #Jordan. The 1st booklet shared in this post focuses on #energyefficiency solutions ranging from no cost to high cost solutions and possible sources of financing. The booklets were prepared by our consultants GFA Consulting Group GmbH and WEE Pros JO. Booklets on #water and #waste solutions will be shared in the next two days. #greeneconomy #circulareconomy #energy #sustainability #green #industry

Accurate groundwater potential characterization is crucial for sustainable development and management in drought-prone areas due to irregular exploitation pressures. Our findings demonstrate that the FR model outperforms AHP in characterizing groundwater potential zones in water-scarce regions, thus enhancing planning, management strategies, and decision-making efficiency. https://lnkd.in/dnpFrA8G

💦The Bulgarian authorities are working hard on regional integrated water projects for the whole country, with support from JASPERS for over a decade. 🌊 The first wave of 12 projects was prepared in the 2014-2020 period, and the second wave of six regional projects was deployed in 2022. These will receive European Commission funding under the 2021-2027 programming period. 🌊 👩💼 Our team of water experts advised on the project preparation itself, but also developed a capacity building and knowledge transfer programme tailored to the needs of the authorities, the water operators and their consultants. 🚀 With this programme, the third wave of projects planned in the coming years is expected to progress more quickly and smoothly. 👉 Read the full story: https://buff.ly/45SZusV #water #capacitybuilding #waterprojects #wastewater #watermanagement #watersystems #waterprojects #waterquality #waterefficient #watersupply

eWater Group welcomes the announcement by the Australian Government to invest $4 million in 2024-25 to commence essential upgrades to the hydrological modelling software and technology underpinning sound decision making over the management of Australia’s surface water resources. This investment is critical to the future of Australia’s National Hydrological Modelling Platform, eWater Source, and ensure we continue to deliver creative, science-based, and trusted water management expertise and tools to meet Australian and international needs. Michael Wilson, Group CEO, said “This investment is essential for the future of eWater Source, ensuring ongoing development, support, and maintenance of Australia’s crucial hydrological modelling capabilities.” “We welcome this announcement as a significant milestone for our organisation as we continue to grow and diversify to serve the needs and interests of Australian governments committed to making Australian excellence in water resource management world-class nationally, and internationally.” eWater Group will work with the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, together with state and territory governments, to improve water management and give decision-makers accurate, trustworthy information.

🎤Introducing Project Partners Meet the General Directorate of Water Management (Hungary)!   💧The General Directorate of Water Management (GDWM) is the central governmental body of Hungary responsible for territorial water management issues, such as flood safety and management of water bodies. Nowadays in a changing environment due to floods and droughts it is more than ever relevant to harmonise water quantity issues and improve quality, such as sustainable management of water resources.   💡 GDWM, as a central governmental body, has centrally determined tasks and responsibilities in its everyday work. They are often invited as a participant into international projects, not only in transboundary relevance, but in other contexts as well. The topic of these projects vary from scientific (DanubeSediment – Interreg), through water quality management (Tid(y) Up – Interreg), to water quantity management (different ways of water retention, like LIFE MICCAC and LIFE LOGOS4WATERS). As a nation-wide governmental body, it has an opportunity to acquire the knowledge content and results of these projects.   💎 What is their role and aim in the LOCALIENCE project? The backbone of the project is a training programme to disseminate best practices and various innovative methods. These methods are often very simple and easy, and in many cases low budget, and in spite of the small scale, if many of them are applied, a large-scale result will be achieved. It is therefore very important for GDWM to spread the information, build a network of local entities, to multiply and let the small impacts add up and jointly achieve a large-scale result.   👉Learn more about The General Directorate of Water Management at http://www.ovf.hu/ #extremeweather #adaptation #collaboration #interreg #interregCE #greener #cooperationiscentral #localience
