Texte - Image Texte The AWARD Project, funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe (Grant Agreement N° 101136987), has the objective to provide evidence-based knowledge and lessons learned on the effective integration of affordable, acceptable, and reliable alternative water resources (AWRs) solutions into water supply strategic planning. In operational terms, it aims at experimenting AWRs at the local scale, in 4 “demo cases” situated in four different European countries, situating these case-study terrains in the wider context of escalating water scarcity, far-reaching impacts of climate change, and European policy orientations for ecological transition and sustainability. AWARD thus aims at using deliberation processes to integrate AWR for enhanced water multipurpose strategic planning, by: Fostering strategies at various levels to deliver the full potential of AWRs to help safeguard the water environment, improve resilience of environmental functions, and tackle multiple anthropogenic and climatic stressors. Strengthening societies to be more resilient against climate change impacts through boosting multifunctional green infrastructures, relevant social innovation, policy awareness and support. Striving to build community support and involvement for adopting and implementing AWR strategies by enhancing societal awareness, engagement and acceptance. A core component of the AWARD Project is to design, develop and deploy a set of digital tools (or functionalities) accessed through an Internet gateway, comprising the “Digital Twin” for the material and institutional activities of the Project. This Internet platform has the acronym DST-TSD, meaning Deliberation Support Tool for Territorial Sustainable Development. It exploits state-of-the-art digital tools for modular CMS (Content Management System), notably Drupal-10, to provide an interactive support for collaborative learning (within and beyond the Project) on the contributions of AWR to local and global sustainability. Based on qualitative as well as quantitative data, the DST-TSD provides for the characterisation of water resources and technologies as vectors for territorial development, and demonstrates a spectrum of evaluation tools including multi-criteria and multi-actor (participative) frameworks, with applications to the different AWR technologies and scenarios, relative to local and global preoccupations with sustainability.
