The team presented a comprehensive overview of the proposed methodology, including different suitability maps for intrinsic suitability, water availability, and water demand, all of which received general validation. Subsequently, a constructive discussion on the weighting coefficients for each element took place, leading to the validation of the final feasibility maps. The methodology was embraced as a practical tool to continue stakeholder engagement in MAR. Additionally, key advancements of the AGREEMAR project were presented, contributing to the comprehensive discussions.
