Webinar: Lessons for the Mediterranean from Non-Conventional Water Resources applications in Malta

What has been the secret of successful NCWR applications in Malta and what is the potential for replication across the Mediterranean? Join our upcoming webinars on lessons learned from the experience of the Alter Aqua programme in the Maltese islands.

Malta, one of the most water-stressed areas in the world, has been a pioneer in the development of Non-Conventional Water Resources (NCWR) solutions, contributing to overall efforts towards water security. NCWR efforts have centered around the 10+ year collaboration between GWP-Med, The Coca-Cola Foundation, Malta’s Ministry for Energy, Enterprise and Sustainable Development, the Energy and Water Agency and local stakeholders in the frame of the Alter Aqua programme, which are saving more than 20 million litres of water annually, benefiting 20% of Malta’s population.
