INTERREG IPA II CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION PROGRAMME GREECE -ALBANIA 2014-2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Project: <\/strong>Conservation and quality assurance of the surface water bodies in Greece and Albania using earth observation techniques \u201cAquaNEX\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In framework of the INTERREG IPA II Cross-Border Cooperation Programme Greece -Albania 2014-2020 with reference number \u201cA1-1.1\u20133\u201d will develop the project: Conservation and quality assurance of the surface water bodies in Greece and Albania using earth observation techniques \u201cAquaNEX\u201d focus on the promotion of the safe, environmentally responsible and efficient supply and use of energy in all its forms and applications, for the best benefit of the Albanian society as a whole.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AquaNEX is designed to cover a significant gap in Albania surface water policy and thus, provide the foundation for future sustainable environmental and agricultural management. Technology and know-how granted to Albanian beneficiaries (river basin identification, satellite images) can be readily used for applying the WFD to the complete country. Eco hydrological modelling results in the pilot areas can be used to develop sustainable management schemes for surface water bodies and agricultural lands beyond the objectives of the project. Completion of the project will enable expansion of the advanced monitoring tools and techniques developed for the Greek pilot area (combined LIDAR-hyperspectral system, semi-autonomous navigated tool, Eco hydrological modeling, soil hydrophobicity model) to the complete CB area in both countries.<\/p>\n

Water resource sustainability is widely mandated by European and national legislation making WFD application a priority for EU and IPA countries.<\/p>\n

Specific targets of external expertize for the preparation of \u201cProject Management and Coordination\u201d (WP1) and \u201cInnovative water quality monitoring complying to WFD\u201d<\/strong> (WP3) of the AquaNEX project are as follows:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WP 1: <\/strong>Project Management and Coordination<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deliverable 1.5.2 – Progress reports<\/p>\n

Deliverable 1.5.3 – Project’s 4thTechnical meeting<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WP3:<\/strong> Innovative water quality monitoring complying with WFD<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Deliverable 3.5.2 – Characterization of a selected river basin district in terms of pressures, impacts and economics of water uses<\/p>\n

Deliverable 3.5.3 – Development of a surveillance monitoring guide for the selected area, including the monitoring areas\u2019 network,<\/p>\n

Deliverable 3.5.5 – Development of a geodatabase implementing the INSPIRE data specifications.<\/p>\n
