Work package 1. Fostering stakeholders’ engagement

The needs, capacities, roles, responsibilities and commitment as well as engagement of stakeholders from four Mediterranean case studies will be mapped at national/regional/local level and analyzed for the development of the feasibility maps, the elaboration and endorsement of adaptive agreements, and their implementation for a local MAR system.

AGREEMAR Deliverable D1.1a. Preliminary analysis of project-relevant stakeholders

D1.1a Preliminary analysis of project-relevant stakeholders

Deliverable D1.1a identifies for each project demo site the key stakeholders at three levels that are significant for the joint development of an overall governance agenda for MAR and its participatory implementation at the local level. In addition, initial assumptions are made about the needs and competences of the identified stakeholders in relation to MAR.

Work package 2. MAR feasibility mapping

A set of methodologies for MAR feasibility assessment at regional level will be developed, including a comprehensive matrix of feasibility criteria and considering biophysical, technological, social, economic, environmental, hydrological, institutional, and financial indicators.

AGREEMAR Deliverable D2.1 Matrix of feasibility criteria for managed aquifer recharge

D2.1 Matrix of feasibility criteria for managed aquifer recharge

Deliverable D2.1 is dedicated to the compilation of an extensive database containing hydrogeological, geochemical, biophysical, environmental, social, economic feasibility criteria for managed aquifer recharge. The current version of the database can be downloaded from the following address: http://agreemar.webspace.tu-dresden.de/feasibility-criteria/.

AGREEMAR Deliverable D2.2 Participative methodology for criteria selection and weighting in MAR site feasibility mapping

D2.2 Participative methodology for criteria selection and weighting in MAR site feasibility mapping

Deliverable D2.2 is dedicated to the development of a new methodological approach for mapping the geospatial feasibility of managed aquifer recharge applications. The report focuses on the selection and weighting of feasibility criteria and their integration into a GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis.

Work package 3. Adaptive governance framework

The feasibility maps will be used for the elaboration of an adaptive governance framework for MAR benefits sharing. This will include drafting country-specific multi-sectorial, multi-stakeholder agreements on water allocation plans for MAR implementation. The general objective is to provide draft agreements for MAR among stakeholders from different societal sectors, integrating the general, regional and local scales.

Work package 4. Validation through numerical modelling

The governance scenarios will be supported at local scale by groundwater flow models that will help to understand the response of the aquifer to the proposed interventions and to discuss with stakeholders’ alternative scenarios including the no-action impacts.


Work package 5. Agreements implementation at local scale

A general costs-benefits analysis for areas selected for implementation will assess the economic impact of the MAR schemes. The governance framework will be refined based on groundwater flow simulations and economic valuation, and specific agreements will be negotiated with local stakeholders.


Work package 6. Project management

The project will be managed and coordinated by TUD together with the Principal Investigators (PI) from each partner institution and with direct collaboration with the WP leaders to ensure the successful implementation and the completion of milestones and deliverables.
