 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'Over the past years, the EU has funded several projects that undertook research on specific integrated water resources management (IWRM) issues in case studies carried out on twinned river basins from Europe and from developing countries. The aim of Twin2Go now is to review, assess, synthesize and consolidate the outcomes of these projects in order to make them transferable and applicable to other basins, and to disseminate the project results effectively to relevant authorities, stakeholders and end-users. This will contribute to the overall goal to underpin the implementation of IWRM in line with the targets of the EU Water Initiative. In order to achieve this aim, Twin2Go will elaborate a methodology that allows comparative analysis and synthesis of the outcomes of the diverse projects. The consolidated outcomes will feed into best practice guidelines for the adoption and implementation of sustainable water resources management plans. To ensure up-take of the research results in water resources management practice and political decision making, all synthesis activities will involve stakeholders from the projects and basins and synthesis results will be effectively disseminated to all relevant levels of target groups including high level decision makers in water policy. In its effort, Twin2Go will focus its activities on the thematic priority ‘adaptive water governance in the context of climate change’ and cluster past and ongoing twinning projects along their target regions (Latin America, Africa, NIS, South and South East Asia). Through its co-ordinating activities, Twin2Go will bring together participants and lead partners from past and ongoing projects as well as international water networks. This will allow increasing the output and benefit of ongoing research by consolidating results, exploiting synergies and thus build up the critical mass that will promote uptake of research results and reaching audiences at a higher level of decision making.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Analysing the observations and results of river-basin twinning programmes will allow the EU to develop a more sustainable management framework for water resources.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

A river basin or catchment area is a collection of rivers and streams whose waters converge at a single point, usually a lake, wetland or other body of water. In recent years, the EU twinned European river basins with those of developing countries to jointly tackle specific integrated water resources management (IWRM) issues.

The EU-funded project 'Coordinating twinning partnerships towards more adaptive governance in river basins' (Twin2Go) is consolidating and processing the results of all these projects. It aims to transfer and apply these results by disseminating them to authorities, decision makers and stakeholders of all basins to remedy the failure of governance systems in this sector. This requires that Twin2Go develop methodology for comparative analysis of all the results that emerge from these projects.

The insights, best practices and tools emerging from this initiative will consider water governance and policy in light of climate change to support governance and improve application of results.

Twin2Go has already reviewed various approaches for comparative analyses and has developed a unified framework with a detailed questionnaire and guidelines that support collecting data from twinning projects. An enormous amount of data was collected on basins in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. The project has set up an Advisory Board for promoting knowledge transfer from science to practice and offering recommendations on policymaking. Ultimately, these steps and analyses will enable more sustainable governance of water resources in river basins around the world.
