🌊 New open-access paper! “Conflicting Objectives in Non-Conventional Water Valorization in the Mediterranean” 🔗 doi.org/10.3390/proceedings2… #WaterScarcity #Mediterranean #SustainableIrrigation #CircularWater @PrimaProgram

(4/4) 2) Involving local actors contributes to improve the validity of hydrological research and in general to sustainable, participatory water management and planning. @GiulioCst @EnricoLcc @Lui_piemontese @IBouizrou @MarcoLompi

🌾 What does it mean for Val d'Orcia? 1) Rehabilitating existing small agricultural reservoirs and constructing new ones will be key to ensure enough water supply for irrigating the local high-value crops #agriculture #Tuscany

1) Under SSP5-8.5, average annual water stored in both storage systems could drop by ~6.3% by end of century, mainly due to reduced inflows (−30%) and increased evaporation +8.7% 2) Small agricultural reservoirs are more vulnerable, with water storage reductions of up to −21%

We mapped over 1,000 small agricultural reservoirs, explored how #climatechange could impact their future #wateravailability and compared this with water storage dynamics of a planned large dam.

New paper out! 🚨 (1/4) We applied the AG-WaMED co-modelling approach to study the role of non-conventional waters for climate adaptation in the Living Lab Val d'Orcia (Tuscany). frontiersin.org/journals/wat… @DagriUnifi @PrimaProgram @WHLab_Unifi

.@AgWamed has come to its end. The Newsletter will continue to run with updates and news for the expanding AG-WaMED Legacy: mailchi.mp/d97fd622e9c6/ag-w… @PrimaProgram

📢 Call for abstracts! #EGU26 HS5.1.7 (PICO): Non-conventional water resources under climate change - ancestral & modern solutions for generating, treating, distributing & using water. ⏰ Deadline: 15 Jan 2026, for travel support apply by 1 Dec 2025 🔗 meetingorganizer.copernicus.…

A new paper developed within AG-WaMED on #CoCreation of #WaterKnowledge, led by @GiulioCst from @DagriUnifi #CoCreation is one of the pillar of @PrimaProgram and with this paper we explore all aspects of it. Available open access at: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… @UNI_FIRENZE

Very important hashtag#policy-relevant paper from the @AgWamed @PrimaProgram Project team! Water-saving driven crop reallocation reduces irrigation energy demand in the Mediterranean lnkd.in/gNe_Z-H6 on the Journal hashtag#GlobalFoodSecurity!

🇩🇿 Algeria – managed aquifer recharge & wastewater reuse. 💡Promote local participation and simplify regulations on wastewater reuse and MAR

🇪🇬 Egypt - Egypt – rainwater harvesting 💡Combine traditional Bedouin knowledge with modern technologies to enhance legitimacy and efficiency

🇮🇹 Italy - small agricultural reservoirs 💡Rehabilitate existing small reservoirs and promote shared infrastructures to enhance efficiency and equity

🇹🇳 Tunisia – wastewater reuse 💡 Simplify regulations for wastewater reuse, while ensuring safety and quality standards

🇪🇸 Spain – desalination & wastewater reuse. 💡 Ensure the energy sustainability of desalination by integrating renewable energy and improving efficiency

🌍 New #PolicyBriefs from AG-WaMED! We share insights & recommendations for scaling Non-Conventional Water (NCW) in 🇪🇸🇹🇳🇮🇹🇪🇬🇩🇿 Strengthening #WaterGovernance across the #Mediterranean under climate stress 🔗 agwamed.eu/results @PrimaProgram @WHLab_Unifi @DagriUnifi

Did you miss our session on Non-Conventional Waters at the @siwi_www? You can watch it now on Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=owNvjcYF… We brought together scientists and practitioners to discuss the role of Non-Conventional Waters in climate change adaptation @DagriUnifi @PrimaProgram

How can we leverage the sustainable use of non-conventional water resources to close the water supply-demand gap? Discuss it with us and our distinguished speakers online tomorrow at 16:00 at the @siwi_www. @WHLab_Unifi @PrimaProgram @DagriUnifi
