Project Summary:
This cross-border collaboration project aims to promote the sustainable use of water resources in the Mediterranean Basin and reduce water use in agriculture. The project seeks to achieve these goals by encouraging knowledge sharing and collaboration among farmers, institutional leaders, and
researchers in various regions.

Project Objectives:
Increasing Water Efficiency in Agriculture: Enhancing water efficiency by adopting water-saving agricultural methods, cultivating low-water-consumption crops, and improving irrigation management.
Management of Sustainable Water Resources: Identifying best practices for the sustainable use of water resources, developing strategies for monitoring and preserving water sources.
Knowledge Sharing and Capacity Development: Promoting information exchange among farmers, institutional leaders, and researchers and enhancing capacity in water resource management.

Project Activities:
Education and Awareness: Conducting workshops and training sessions for farmers to promote water-saving practices in agriculture, introducing and supporting the use of water-efficient irrigation systems.
Monitoring of Water Resources: Establishing data collection and analysis processes for monitoring water resources, preparing regular reports on the status of water sources.
Technological Innovation and Research Development Applications: Developing new technologies and methods to increase agricultural water efficiency, providing financial support for pilot projects.
Use of Water-Efficient Irrigation Systems: Encouraging the use of irrigation systems such as drip irrigation and sprinklers that direct water to the root zone of plants, minimizing water loss. Adoption of modern irrigation technologies with training and technical support for farmers.
Soil and Plant-Friendly Agricultural Practices: Optimizing farming practices through soil analysis and appropriate crop selection. Using mulch to conserve soil moisture and reduce evaporation.
Rainwater Harvesting and Storage Systems: Implementing rainwater harvesting systems, especially in greenhouses or agricultural areas, to meet water needs. Creating suitable reservoirs for
storing collected rainwater.
Implementation of Sustainable Agricultural Techniques: Encouraging agro-ecological approaches and the use of sustainable agricultural techniques such as organic farming and permaculture. Focusing on natural methods for pest control and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers.
Development of Water Management Plans: Developing and implementing water management plans to improve the planning processes for more effective use and distribution of water. Creating strategic plans considering future conditions of water resources considering climate change and changing
precipitation patterns.
Cross-Border Collaboration and Network Building: Establishing cross-border networks and platforms to promote communication and collaboration among institutional leaders, farmers, and researchers in the Mediterranean Basin.

Results and Impacts:
● Reduction of water use in agriculture and increased water efficiency.
● Sustainable management and preservation of water resources.
● Farmers becoming more aware and educated about water management.
● Increased cross-border collaboration and adoption of a broader perspective on water resource management

Dear Kubra,
we are a large ICT system integrator from Zagreb that deals with various technologies that have a positive impact on the fight against climate change. We apply them in almost all areas, from traffic, hydrology, and the sea. In the description of your interesting project proposal, I see a link to our large hydrological project in which we monitor river water levels, flows and similar parameters that change not only depending on the seasons and sudden changes, but also on the effects of agriculture on rivers. Namely, in the summer months, when agriculture needs the most water for irrigation, it often happens that the water level in rivers drops drastically due to irrigation, which leads to deterioration of the quality of life in rivers and disturbance of river sediment.
I think it would be useful to link this segment to your project proposal so that farmers adopt the best practices of river water management.
In Croatia, we have installed equipment that measures water level, flow, and water quality at more than 600 locations.
We have +700 employees with extensive experience in R&D projects, our clients are the largest Croatian companies, and we have experience in the preparation and implementation of EU projects.
We would like to join your project team.
Best regards!
