INTERREG-SUDOE Gesteaur Project: Sustainable and Digitized Water Management in Rural Environments of the SUDOE Area

In rural areas of Southwest Europe (SUDOE), water management faces significant challenges: water scarcity, pollution from agricultural activity, and a lack of efficient infrastructure. These problems directly affect the quality and availability of drinking water and hinder compliance with European regulations without compromising the continuity of economic activity. To address this challenge, the GestEAUr project aims to develop and implement innovative and sustainable solutions that improve water quality and optimize its management. Its approach is based on territorial cooperation and the application of techniques adapted to the characteristics of each region.

Looking ahead, the project will continue developing SID-AQUARURAL, an advanced digital tool designed to optimize water management in rural areas. Furthermore, new combinations of innovative and sustainable techniques will be tested to further improve water resource efficiency. Through collaboration between public administrations, research centers, and local stakeholders, GestEAUr is laying the groundwork for more efficient, resilient water management that is better prepared for the challenges of climate change.
