In recent years, climate change has intensified floods and prolonged dry periods across the world, affecting people, communities, and economies. The Mediterranean region and Southern Africa are among the areas most severely impacted by droughts, a risk expected to increase in the coming decades. At the same time, rural areas face growing challenges due to depopulation. By 2050, nearly 80% of the world’s population is projected to live in cities, leaving rural regions increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including declining water quality and limited access to safe water.
‍
WATERSENS project, made up of 15 partners, aims to address these challenges by demonstrating how decentralised water management (DWM) solutions can strengthen water resilience. These locally adapted, sustainable, and resilient systems can help communities better cope with climate extremes. The project will provide real evidence of its benefits and create a decision-making framework to help authorities and stakeholders apply the most suitable solutions.
