Climate information plays a foundational role in achieving green recovery and climate neutrality Europe, central one for resilient Europe. This can materialize if is delivered appropriately used effectively. services, understood as the provision of use decision making, have been created to provide addressing these aspects. The utility services determined by level user engagement co-design, employed during their development, while resource limitations any aspects constrain full potential....
The increasing duration and intensity of heatwaves have become a growing concern due to their implications for health, economy agronomy. data from the reference period 1950-2017 different studies around globe indicates an average increase 1 day per decade in heatwave between 2 6 °C intensity. This phenomenon is particularly evident cities such as Valencia other locations Mediterranean region, where extreme temperatures reached record levels. In Valencia, example, highest temperature...
The management of water in systems where the balance between resources and demands is already precarious can pose a challenge it be easily disrupted by drought episodes. Anticipated has proved to one main strategies reduce their impact. Drought economic, environmental, social impacts affect different sectors that are often interconnected. There need for models able acknowledge complex interactions multiple sectors, activities, variables study response resource strategies. System dynamics...
Climate services were initially established with the aim to make vast amount of climate data, projections and other science output publicly available support development responses society's vulnerability change. In Europe embraced concept was not only provide access scientific knowledge reduce vulnerability, but also as an opportunity promote innovation, business opportunities employment, highlighting importance involving users in developing services. However, differences skills, framing...
In recent years, co-management has been highlighted in the scientific literature as fundamental strategy for groundwater control. However, development of this institutional architecture is complex and presents important pitfalls challenges. article we analyse experience Requena-Utiel aquifer (Spain), based on a participatory action research. It aims to advance by facilitating consensus among users, basis which support future self-governance measures. We used cognitive framing approach,...
New information and communication technologies have a significant potential to increase the transparency of aquifer management improve groundwater governance. This research experiments introduction mobile application that allows users transfer share about their extractions receive agroclimatic data. It takes place in three different aquifers Morocco, Portugal, Spain, each with varied institutional frameworks. tests evaluates enhanced systems citizen science applied aims identify some factors...
Climate change projections in many regions of the world show a critical reduction precipitation and significant rise temperatures next decades. This may affect operation water utilities arid semi-arid parts globe. The Mediterranean region is particularly vulnerable to impacts climate on resources. In this paper, we reflect challenges that utility sector experience during upcoming decades continue providing its essential service under new scenario. Our reasoning based lessons learned...
Abstract Climate services are tools or products that aim to support climate‐informed decision making for the adaptation climate change. The market is dominated by public institutions, despite efforts made European Commission increase private enterprise in market. business model perspective has been proposed as a framework enabling growth through development of appropriate models provision services. However, there lack structured knowledge on how approach service design and from standpoint....
Heatwaves have emerged as an increasingly recurrent extreme meteorological event, in the Mediterranean region and throughout Europe, during summer. This is attributable to shifts distribution magnitude of temperatures. In particular, Comunitat Valenciana a Spain experienced last summer its highest temperature, registering 1.6ºC increase monthly average temperature compared reference period (1991-2020). On August 10, historical record was exceeded by 3.4ºC, with temperatures...
The RETOUCH NEXUS project aims to create and improve strategies of managing water, energy, food ecosystems (WEFE nexus) together that are innovative, fair operative. objective these strategies, which include smart water governance schemes, economic instruments, refined institutional frameworks, is ensure availability within the European Union (EU) amid a range future challenging scenarios, including those induced by climate change. Although instruments were highlighted as powerful measures...
Climate change projections in many regions of the world show a critical reduction precipitation and significant rise temperatures that may affect operation water utilities next decades. In this paper, we reflect on challenges utility sector experience to continue providing its essential service under new climate scenario. Our reasoning is based lessons learned during co-creation with company Valencia (Spain) within framework EU ERA4CS project INNOVA. The joint vision climate, management...
<p>Climate change is expected to have a significant impact on water resource systems, affecting both quantity and quality. Among other probable impacts raw water, the increase of sapid compounds such as geosmin MIB (2-methylisoborneol) one most challenging for urban supply, it alters taste odour. Water managers utility companies need anticipate events that concentration compounds. Proper methods tools are necessary design adaptation strategies future drinking supply. In this...
<p>The Requena-Utiel aquifer in the Jucar River Basin (Mediterranean Spain) is mined mainly for irrigation of vineyards (Denominación de Origen Utiel-Requena), and some olive nut trees. It has been recently declared as bad quantitative status by Agency (Confederación Hidrográfica del Júcar, CHJ). Among measures taken to control water abstraction, a pumping cap season (May-September) agreed between CHJ groundwater user...
The eGROUNDWATER project aims to improve sustainable, participatory groundwater management in the Mediterranean region by developing and testing Enhanced Information Systems (EIS) that integrate citizen science information communication technology (ICT) tools. A key component of EIS is a mobile app will allow farmers other users report levels their wells amount water used for irrigation purposes. At same time, provide with about state aquifer recommendations sustainable use (for example,...
Irrigated agriculture is a major contributor to global groundwater use, and can sometimes lead the overexploitation of aquifers. The Requena-Utiel, Campina de Faro Ain Timguenay aquifers in Spain, Portugal Morocco, respectively, are facing such situation, with excessive pumping raising concerns about aquifer's water levels long-term health body. Accurate estimation remote monitoring crop needs crucial for effectively managing limited resources region by providing farmers accurate...
<p>In many regions of the world, such as in Southern Mediterranean area, water management has been challenging for long; however, climate change could act an amplification factor and trigger unprecedented situation. Several approaches have proposed design adaptation strategies resources systems. Although top-down traditionally preferred, several authors pointed out their relative lack success when it comes to decision making. On other hand, participative bottom-up advantage...
