A recently expanded drinking-water system and modernized wastewater system will provide reliable access to quality drinking water and connect people to the sewage network. Almost 200,000 people will benefit from this improvement. .
The EIB Advisory JASPERS has developed an Excel tool with the aim to support beneficiaries of small water & wastewater projects to complete a climate resilience assessment that is proportionate to the size of the projects. The Excel tool has been designed for the climate resilience assessment of small projects that need to comply with the climate proofing requirement of the Common Provisions Regulation Art. 73 point 2 (j).
The JASPERS checklist tool is intended for use as a support tool for stakeholders involved in project development and relevant environmental decision-making. It outlines a stepwise process for assessing and demonstrating project compliance with the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). The EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) (WFD) protects and seeks to improve the biological, physico-chemical, hydromorphological and chemical status of surface water bodies, and the chemical and quantitative status of ground water bodies. It has a strict no deterioration requirement, including in relation to water-dependent objectives in EU protected areas. The WFD also promotes sustainable water use based on the long-term protection of available water resources.
Access to drinking water and sanitation services is of paramount importance for our health and the environment. Water is also essential for agriculture, industry and societal well-being.
At the same time, state-of-the-art stormwater/flood and disaster risk management is key for ensuring human well-being.
JASPERS supports projects to make the most of this precious resource. In particular, we can help you to:
