Islands - Facts

� 3.5% of the European
citizens live in islands
� More than 50,000 islands on
the European Continent,
� 500 islands are larger than
20 km2 and they have a total
area of over 700,000 km2 or
more than 7 per cent of
Europe’s surface area.
� Fragile ecosystems
NCWRM in the Mediterranean13 Dec. 20164/30 www.gwpmed.org
Water Scarcity
� Limited fresh water resources due to small size
� Irregular and uncertain rainfall patterns
� Frequent over-exploitation of aquifers
� Water supply infrastructure also under increased
pressure
� Greek islands (2010): water scarcity crisis cost €11
million for water transfer.

� Climate change impacts: Increased
temperatures lengthen the summer period.
E.g. Aegean islands > 15mi overnight stays/yr
& the population over summer is 30 times
greater
� Water supply problems in tourist resorts are
increasingly common.
� Increased demands for water are met through
desalination and water transfers by tankers
NCWRM in the Mediterranean13 Dec. 20166/30 www.gwpmed.org
Agriculture
� An important economic activity,
threatened by water scarcity, droughts
and salinisation
� Increasing salinity of groundwater
reserves has implications on crop
cultivation, especially along the coast.
� Water resource loss is expected to lead
to a 1.69 per cent decline in GDP for
Greece in a high-impact climate
change scenario

Non Conventional Water Resources Non Conventional Water Resources Non Conventional Water Resources Non Conventional Water Resources Programme in the Mediterranean Programme in the Mediterranean Programme in the Mediterranean Programme in the Mediterranean
� Aims at promoting Non-Conventional Water Resources Management (NCWRs) and
especially rain and stormwater harvesting and grey water reuse, mainly in urban and
peri-urban areas, as cost effective practices for water availability and climate change
adaptation at local level.
� The Programme’s objectives are:
o To demonstrate smart, innovative & cost effective NCWR solutions, through demo
micro-projects
o To train teachers to educate students on NCWR, and increase awareness on
sustainable water use
o To enhance the capacity of the local authorities in NCWRM & IUWM
o To train local technicians on the application of modern NCWR systems and
materials, and build their capacity to install and/repair such systems and share
their expertise at local level.
o To promote multi-stakeholder partnerships for local NCWR initiatives.
o To promote knowledge and sharing of experiences on aspects of integrated
approached to urban water management.
o To advance regional dialogue among Mediterranean countries on how to advance
the use of NCWRM & IUWM.

Greywater RecyclingGreywater RecyclingGreywater RecyclingGreywater Recycling
Recycling greywater
• increases water availability,
• reduces water demand from municipal water
supply
• decreases wastewater load of sewerage systems
• reduces energy consumption for water and
wastewater transportation and/or for pumping
groundwater.
• Various uses: landscaping, toilet flushing,
irrigation, car washing, etc.

Water saving kits (aerators): Sets of aerators (2 for faucets and one for
shower) distributed to all households in small islands. Data show a decrease
in water consumption by 20-30%.

Water for the City -
Project Activities
A. Optimisation of large scale infrastructure: Installation 1.60m of free
standing gates in the Dipotamos Dam to increase of reservoir usable
storage capacity by 1.7 million cubic meters annually, (14% increase).
Water surplus will used to supply 5 neighboring communities.
B. Education on Sustainable Development on urban water use and
efficiency
C. Stakeholder Engagement & Capacity building on IUWM &, including
the development of a “serious game” for CB in urban environment
D. Awareness raising
NCWRM in the Mediterranean13 Dec. 201632/30 www.gwpmed.org
Multiple benefits:
• Innovative technical solution to increase dam storage capacity to provide more water for irrigation, drinking, industrial use, flood control, and energy production in a sustainable manner.
• Optimization of large scale water infrastructures: non-regret measure for climate change adaptation at local level.
• Prevention of overexploitation and salinization of coastal aquifers
• Reduced energy demands for water supply resulting in reduced costs & CO2 emissions.
• Opportunities to improve existing infrastructure through IUWM approach to be identified to include more green and blue infrastructure, resulting in improved living environment for the citizens.
• Improved water efficiency though water education and increased awareness
• Improved capacity of the authorities to manage urban water more efficiently
• Multistakeholder partnership approach
• 100,000 citizens as direct beneficiaries
• Replication potential
