Citynet - the network of european research projects on integrated urban water management

Objective

The CityNet project cluster consists of six individual 5 FWP projects and deals with the integrated aspects of water management in urban areas (water supply, sewerage, drainage) including their urban/rural interfaces (raw water sources, receiving waters, groundwater). The CityNet cluster consists of 47 research partners and 59 end-users I thus comprising a significant part of the European R&D capacity and implementation potential in urban water systems.

This proposal for Accompanying Measures (AM) aims to widen and deepen the joint activities of the cluster partners with respect to three aspects of integration, i.e.

1) The urban water system and its water resources
2) The necessary infrastructure for water supply, urban drainage and wastewater management,
3) The socioeconomic aspects of urban water management.
