FR1: Guidel compromise

This pilot will improve water management in the context of large population growth, tourism and diminishing summer rainfall. While the formal process in solving user conflicts has been on hold for more than a decade, this pilot will use additional hydrogeological modelling in combination with stakeholder workshops to identify and communicate different impact scenarios in relation to a new pumping station. The station is located 2 km from the sea and the expected impacted area encompasses nature protected areas.

A joint water and ecosystem management plan will be discussed between managers, citizens and political representatives based on scenarios they will provide and simulation results from a coupled surface-depth hydrological model.
