Title Abstract Case study(ies)
Post-fire water retention management : The case study of Ancient Olympia, Greece The retention measures include the temporary installation of structures utilizing locally available timber in order to increase water retention and prevent soil erosion and flood events. Water retention management in the broader area of Ancient Olympia, Elia, Greece
Restoration of the archeological and the broader landscape of Olympia Project report Water retention management in the broader area of Ancient Olympia, Elia, Greece
www.adottaunterrazzamento.org The project's aim is to recover the traditional terraces, abandoned and in state of instability, recovering the agricultural potential of the area and improving its hydrogeological stability. Traditional terracing in Veneto, Italy
I suoli dei versanti terrazzati di Valstagna Survey regarding the soils of the study area, with the comparation of terraced and non-terraced area in order to identify the differences in phisical and chemical terms. Traditional terracing in Veneto, Italy
Approval for environmental terms for implementation of forest hydroeconomy works in mountainous areas in part of the river basin of Xiropotamos The retention measures include afforastation and planting as well as construction of small scale dams to decrease the stream gradient in order to decrease soil erosion and flood events. Increasing water retention through afforestation, landscaping and reducing the stream gradient in Xiropotamos River Basin, Greece
An integrated approach towards assessing the feasibility of domestic rainwater harvesting in Malta This paper explores the potential of small scale domestic rainwater harvesting on the island of Malta by taking an integrated look at the physical, social, and economic environments. It explores the extent to which domestic rainwater harvesting has been forgotten despite the fact of it being embedded within Malta†™s history for centuries. The study closely examines the cost-effectiveness of this technology both at a local and national scale and teases out the hurdles that have brought about its rejection by means of residential and water professional interviews. Domestic rainwater harvesting in Malta
Non Conventional Water Resources Programme in Malta (Alter Aqua) The Maltese Islands have limited freshwater resources and depend heavily on desalination. Therefore there is an evident need to mobilise non conventional Water Resources (NCWR) in order to secure water availability and facilitate sustainable development.
