The Value of Water

The purpose of the project will be to set in motion a process whereby a Water-Smart Society can be realised through recognising the true value of water, and utilising water as an enabler to address cross-sectoral challenges. The Water-Smart Society aims to manage all available water sources in such a way that water scarcity and pollution of water resources are avoided, water and resource loops are closed, the water system is resilient against the impact of climate change and involves all relevant stakeholders in its governance. The project will mobilise a group of actors targeting related technical, market or industrial areas and identifying the potential to significantly transform existing industries, value chains and ecosystems.
