What is (or will soon be) FREEWAT? Open source and public domain GIS integrated modeling environment for promoting Water Resource Management by simplifying and strengthen the application of WFD, GWD and other water related Directives. Open source characteristics of the platform initiative " ad includendum “ : further research institutions, private developers etc. may contribute to the project development. FREEWAT expected main impact help producing relevant decisions based on : • data and innovative data analysis and • including participatory approach not only in results discussion.

EU Water Framework Directive Key aims • expanding the scope of water protection to all waters, surface waters and groundwater • achieving "good status" for all waters by a set deadline • water management based on river basins • "combined approach" of emission limit values and quality standards • getting the prices right • getting the citizen involved more closely • streamlining legislation FREEWAT - Free and Open Source Software Tools for Water Resource Management This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642224
Concepts and motivations 1. ICT tools to boost the application of the WFD and water related Directives; 2. training technical staff at authorities and private companies on the use of state-of-the-art innovative software for water management; 3. having free and open source tools, numerically based, GIS integrated in order to perform spatial and temporal analysis on water quantity and quality issues; 4. ICT tools for the analysis of the conjunctive use of surface-and ground-water , the impacts related to land use and urban sprawling and of climate change on water resource; FREEWAT - Free and Open Source Software Tools for Water Resource Management This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642224
Concepts and motivations 5. changing the approach from lumped-yearly averaged water balances as base of decision making to water balances spatially distributed and time-series driven ; 6. effectively using data provided by the extensive monitoring required by the WFD; 7. capacity building within the EU water sector; 8. including participatory approach earlier than result discussion; 9. supporting adequately scientific research results in order to foster their real scale application and replication and uptake by policy makers and water authorities.

Objectives • Coordinate previous EU and national research to integrate existing software modules for water management in a single environment into the GIS based FREEWAT; • Support the FREEWAT application in an innovative participatory approach gathering technical staff and relevant stakeholders ( in primis policy and decision makers) in designing scenarios for the proper application of water policies. • Promote water management and planning by simplifying the application of the WFD and EU water related Directives.

Capacity building and dissemination strategy -Capacity building by training activities at each country level involved in the project and also via web (video tutorials) -Large stakeholders involvement guarantees results dissemination and exploitation (a total of about 200 stakes going to be involved). -Web social and professional networks FREEWAT - Free and Open Source Software Tools for Water Resource Management This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642224
Who is FREEWAT? • Coordinated by SSSA, Pisa (IT) • Steering group: SSSA (IT); Tea-Sistemi (IT); TU Darmstadt (DE); CSIC (ES) • 13 case studies: 8 for application of WFD (EU countries), 5 devoted to rural water management (2 EUs, Turkey, Ukraine, and Africa (through UNESCO )) • Collaborating institution: SUPSI, Switzerland; Switzerland FREEWAT - Free and Open Source Software Tools for Water Resource Management This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 642224
