April 21st 2015, Pisa, Italy: Joint International Workshop EU FP7 MARSOL and EU HORIZON 2020 FREEWAT projects and EU EIP MAR Solutions - Managed Aquifer Recharge Strategies and Actions (AG128)
The workshop “Advantages of using numerical modeling in water resource management and in Managed Aquifer Recharge schemes” has been a joint event organized by the EU FP7 MARSOL project (www.marsol.eu) and the recently approved EU HORIZON 2020 FREEWAT project and within the framework of the European Innovation Partnership MAR Solutions - Managed Aquifer Recharge Strategies and Actions (AG128).
The MARSOL (Demonstrating Managed Aquifer Recharge as a Solution to Water Scarcity and Drought) project started in December 2013 and its main objective is to demonstrate that Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is a sound, safe and sustainable strategy that can be applied with great confidence and therefore offering a key approach for tackling water scarcity in Southern Europe. The methodology is demonstrated through a combination of monitoring and modeling activities for both water quantity quality issues at 8 different sites in the Mediterranean.
In the FREEWAT (FREE and open source software tools for WATer resource management) project (started April the 1st 2015), the aim is to develop the FREEWAT platform which will be an open source and public domain GIS integrated modeling platform for the simulation of water quantity and quality in surface water and groundwater, with an integrated water management and planning module.
