Funding

Both the water cycle and the SUPERLOCAL project in general have been granted funding from European and regional authorities. This online platform is funded by the LIFE funded project LIFE Local Water Adapt.

LIFE Climate Action

LIFE is the EU subsidy programme for the development and implementation of the European nature and environmental policy. The LIFE programme is divided in two sub-programmes, one for environment (representing 75% of the overall financial envelope) and one for climate change (representing 25% of the envelope).

Within the SUPERLOCAL project, a LIFE subsidy of 2.5 million euro’s was awarded in October 2018 for the water cycle. In this part of the SUPERLOCAL project, under the name LIFE Local Water Adapt, four Dutch partners work closely together: HEEMwonen, municipality Kerkrade, Waterschapsbedrijf Limburg (WBL) and Waterleiding Maatschappij Limburg (WML). Since the international sharing of knowledge and collaborative learning is an important spearhead of the project, the Flemish Watergroep also participates as a fifth partner, including a small-scale replication project in West Flanders. The objective of LIFE Local Water Adapt is to demonstrate an innovative approach to local water management as an effective urban adaptation strategy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1580401305273{margin-right: 75px !important;margin-left: 75px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #e8e8e8 !important;}”]

GOALS

The main objectives of the project are to prevent:

Water stress (scarcity) during extreme drought

Waterlogging during extreme rainfall

Urban Innovative Actions

The Urban Innovative Actions (UIA) is the EU subsidy programme for the promotion of sustainable urban development. The main objective of UIA is to provide urban areas throughout Europe with the means to test innovative solutions to urban issues. Examples are poverty, integration of migrants and refugees and a circular economy.

For the SUPERLOCAL project as a whole, including the closed water cycle, a UIA subsidy of 4.7 million euro’s was awarded in November 2017. For the subsidy application twelve partners collaborate: HEEMwonen, Municipality of Kerkrade, IBA Parkstad, City region Parkstad Limburg, Dusseldorp Infra, Sloop and Milieutechniek BV, Bouwbedrijven Jongen (Royal VolkerWessels company), Waterleiding Maatschappij Limburg (WML), Waterschapsbedrijf Limburg (WBL), Municipality of Brunssum, Municipality of Landgraaf, Zuyd Hogeschool and branch association VERAS. The knowledge acquired by the partners during the project is publicly available, so that newly developed methods can be applied to other (international) projects.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1580401078090{margin-right: 75px !important;margin-left: 75px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #e8e8e8 !important;}”]
