The workshop aims to share with local administrators, technicians, media and citizens the research activities, technical experiences and legislative insights that characterized the 30 months of the project, on the theme of urban wastewater management in relation to the Adriatic Sea. The intent is to return to the local territory the experiences of the work carried out by the 12 Italian-Croatian partners who have committed themselves to the development of an innovative model for the managed use of purified water and with a high environmental sustainability impact, which can, once tested, also be transferred to other Depuration Plants (DPs), in order to standardize and share management models of treated wastewater throughout the territory along the Adriatic coast, as underlined by the AdSWiM motto: the Adriatic Sea is one, its care belongs to everybody.
That the protection of the marine environment is important to everyone is confirmed by many initiatives organized at national and international level on the occasion of the World Day for Monitoring of Waters which is celebrated on 18 September and aims to raise public awareness, increasing involvement of all stakeholders in the protection of water resources around the world. The importance of this issue is confirmed in particular by the institutional presence of the regional partners involved in the interregional cooperation project who have already confirmed the invitation. This will open the meeting, which will be held in the presence, bringing the institutional greetings of Dr. Fabio Scoccimarro, Councilor for environmental protection, energy and sustainable development of the Autonomous Region of Friuli - Venezia Giulia, the Hon. Pietro Fontanini, Mayor of the Municipality of Udine and dr. Salvatore Benigno, President of CAFC S.p.A..
