ANY DROP OF WATER

TECHNICAL WORKSHOP/ATELIER Part 1

This project is funded by the European Union SWIM - Sustainable Water Integrated Management

Date April 2-3, 2014

Venue Korba Site & ENIT – National Engineering School of Tunis, Tunisia

IMPROWARE’s Communication Campaign “ANY DROP OF WATER” combines the effects

of the Participatory Processes developed in Tunisia through an array of meetings with

Institutional and local Stakeholders starting from October 3rd, 2013, and the desire to illustrate

the outcomes of recent investigations performed in Nobariya, in order to present the technical

Status of IMPROWARE.

A significant call for better water quality raised by the key players, as well as, a wider and

more effective involvement of Civil Society – both on technical issues and the circulation of

information in the Project area – was raised by the voices of the key players of Korba.

The matter of Water Scarcity and the need to increase its availability is at the centre of the

EU-SWIM programme initiative and a crucial topic in Tunisia, Egypt and the entire North African

Region. With “ANY DROP OF WATER” IMPROWARE aims to generate, boost and develop public

interest on the issue and give substantial contribution to ongoing regional debates on Water

Resources.

“ANY DROP OF WATER” aims at building a constructive network for the optimisation of

the use of Treated Water, through greater public awareness.

The Technical Workshop/Atelier is divided into two sessions:

Part I – April, 2-3, 2014 – a workshop dedicated to anyone who wishes to

become familiar with the Research Component of IMPROWARE

(hydrogeological and technical surveys – i.e. WP2 and WP3).

Part II – May, 13, 2014 – a meeting open to all citizens living and working in the

Project area of Korba, for full awareness and involvement in Project activities,

with special focus on the illustration of the technical implementation (WP4) of

the two Pilot Projects implemented in Korba and Nobariya and comparison of

their results.

This project is funded by the European Union SWIM - Sustainable Water Integrated Management

The campaign has been developed by the IMPROWARE WP dealing with the Involvement

of Local Stakeholders, Communication, Capacity Building Dissemination (WP5), representing an

“Adaptive Strategy” aimed at strengthening dialogue between the technical components of the

Project, Public Authorities in Egypt and Tunisia, citizens and local associations in the Project

areas.
