Agriculture creates products from natural resources: soil, water and sun. From this list, water is possibly the factor thatmost affects the agricultural sector is water and its availability. Having sufficient quantity and good quality of water influences the selection of crops, varieties, sanitary conditions, production and profitability of our farms. That is why maintaining the quality of water resources is essential, so in addition to influencing their responsible use, we must alert and raise awareness about the application of cultivation techniques that produce less pollutants and affect rivers and aquifers less.
Recently, climate change has caused notable instability that is affecting the availability and quality of water in many European regions. The lack and difficulty of managing this problem, not only in the agricultural sector, is generating tensions between regions and companies due to the availability, quality and distribution of water. In addition, it must be known that certain products have a remarkably high demand for water and in certain countries, the hydraulic network for agricultural activities is old and leaky.
EUWAY will follow a bottom-up approach. This means that we will learn directly from professionals to spread their knowledge, models and methods in the field of sustainable water management in agriculture, based on 3 elements:
- Summary guide.
- Case studies.
- Training modules.
