The scarcity of water has always been an issue since documented history and meeting the demand for both municipal water supply as well as the needs of the agricultural and commercial sectors has always provided an important challenge. The &#8216;New Water&#8217; project is providing an annual production capacity of 7 million m3 of high-quality water suitable for safe crop irrigation. The project will hence have the capacity to potentially address up to 35% of the current total water demand of the agricultural sector. In addition, the high quality of the New Water can enable its use for landscaping and industry, further enabling the use of this water during periods of low demand by the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thematic Area \u2013<\/strong>Climate change adaptation<br \/>\n<strong>Thematic Sub-category &#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>L'ACQUA COME \nRISORSA NATURALE<\/li>\n<li>SOLUZIONI E \nSTRUMENTI PER LE \nCITT\u00c0 INTELLIGENTI<\/li>\n<li>Green Urbanism related to improving social<br \/>\nrelations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Type of Actor\/Agent &#8211;<\/strong> Governo<br \/>\n<strong>Typology of Green Urban Site<\/strong> \u2013 Agriculture and<br \/>\nindustrial areas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green City Elements:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Urbanistica\nVerde<\/li>\n<li>Energy Efficiency in Urban Planning<\/li>\n<li>Water Recovery and Reuse<\/li>\n<li>Water storage, Irrigation<\/li>\n<li>Edifici E\nCambiamenti\nClimatici<\/li>\n<li>Impacts of Climate Change on Tourism<\/li>\n<li>Adattamento\nComportamentale\nAl Clima Estremo<\/li>\n<li>Cradle-to-cradle<\/li>\n<li>Economia\nIntelligente<\/li>\n<li>Ambiente\nIntelligente<\/li>\n<li>Urban Energy Consumption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Engagement and Consultation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Target Groups<\/strong> &#8211; Citizens<br \/>\n<strong>Public Engagement<\/strong> &#8211; Was applied, proper public<br \/>\nengagement<br \/>\n<strong>Consultation Tools Used<\/strong> &#8211; In-person focus group<\/p>\n<p><strong>Innovation and Impact:<\/strong><br \/>\nWaste water treatment, agriculture, circular<br \/>\neconomy<br \/>\n<strong>Expected Impact<\/strong> High<br \/>\n<strong>Level of Scale of Innovation<\/strong> 4<\/p>\n<p><strong>Budget and Analysis:<\/strong><br \/>\nBudget Spent, Source of Money: 13 million Euro<br \/>\n<strong>Benefits<\/strong>:<br \/>\nFlooding &amp; water quality, Increased biodiversity,<br \/>\nimproved environmental resilience, limiting impact<br \/>\nof heatwaves by reducing urban temperatures,<br \/>\nIncreased cultural significance, creation of green<br \/>\njobs and business opportunities.<br \/>\n<strong>Challenges:<\/strong> Delays in project implementation<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resources and Transferability:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Teaching Materials\/Resources<\/strong>: n\/a<br \/>\n<strong>Personal Skills Required:<\/strong> High<br \/>\n<strong>Non-discriminatory Principles:<\/strong>No<br \/>\n<strong>Transferability Potential:<\/strong> High<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":793,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31,28,43,39,33],"tags":[],"cp_meta_data":{"_edit_lock":["1701068466:1"],"_edit_last":["1"],"_thumbnail_id":["793"],"_wpb_vc_js_status":["true"],"_revision-control":["a:1:{i:0;s:8:\"defaults\";}"]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenvolve-project.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenvolve-project.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenvolve-project.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenvolve-project.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenvolve-project.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/greenvolve-project.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenvolve-project.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenvolve-project.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenvolve-project.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenvolve-project.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
