Ziele und Inhalte:

Waterways Forward is a European Union INTERREG IVC programme. It aims to improve the management of regional inland waterway corridors for recreational boating & amenity use through an integrated, sustainable and participatory approach, taking account of the multi-functional role of our waterways.

Previous meetings have been held in the Netherlands and Italy with the 3rd Interregional meeting scheduled to be held in Spain on 19th to 21st January 2011. 

The project began in 2010 with the development of a regional analysis in each partner area in relation to the themes of Governance and Environment & Climate Change. Waterways Forward will achieve its objectives by addressing two overarching themes related to inland waterways:

Dazu gehört:

• Environment and Climate Change – Investigating how the economic and social benefits of waterways can be delivered, while protecting or indeed enhancing the quality of the natural and built environment and how waterways can best contribute to mitigating and adapting to the expected effects of climate change.
• Governance – Investigating how our inland waterways can be better managed, developed and funded to deliver the wide range of benefits – economic, social and environmental – that are supported by the multi – functional use of water.
