Short Description
The final pilot site implementation guidelines are designed to be a working document that introduces the need for Pilot Site Communities including some of the issues with building representation based on the influence and interest of stakeholders. The final guide also details the nature of each Pilot Site Community both in terms of geographical information but also in terms of current status and challenges with water governance in each area. They also highlight the composition of each Pilot Site Community. Lastly, the aim of the final guide is to show how and when the 30 Pilot Site Community webinars and the three European level Transversal webinars envisaged over the project period have been used and will be used to explore both the local challenges, but also project-wide challenges as framed in each Work Package. This live document was updated throughout the project as more detail emerges from each Work Package and Pilot Site. This report D5.3 is the final report, but it is still a living document to guide partners.
Stakeholder engagement is crucial for the success of the InnWater project. However, effective stakeholder engagement can be challenging and requires careful consideration of various factors. One major challenge in stakeholder engagement is identifying and prioritizing relevant stakeholders. Complex projects or organizations can have numerous individuals or groups with diverse interests, making it difficult to determine who should be included in the engagement process. Moreover, stakeholders may have differing influence and interest levels, further complicating the prioritization process. Therefore, the project needs to pay attention to: A) the selection of the Pilot Site Community; B) the facilitation of the Pilot Site Community, C) the scheduling Pilot Site Community events, D) the resourcing Pilot Site Community events.
The five Pilot sites are spread across Europe and its overseas territories, and include a range of spatial areas and topography including:
• La Reunion (Overseas department of France) (2,500km2 with a height range of 3,031m);
• Middle Brenta (1,700km2 with a height range of 2,115m);
• Figueres (1,150km2 with a height range of 1,208m).
• Westcountry (21,000km2 with a height range of 621m); and
• Tisza (5,500km2 with a height range of 27m).
The selection contrasts the different water governance areas and scales from large coastal regions to small islands and from river basin to land locked lowland areas. The diversity will be used to deliver elements of the other main Work Packages such as Water governance for sustainability and resilience (WP2), Citizen Engagement (WP3) and Water governance Diagnostic tools, Micro-Simulation economic models and the creation of an InnWater platform (WP4).
