Data availability and needs within the OurMED project are essential components in achieving its sustainable water management goals. Primary data categories, including infrastructure distribution, site specifics, hydrological water flow trends, and soil characteristics, form the core of understanding for effective ecosystem management. Additionally, secondary data is crucial in providing supplementary information for a more nuanced comprehension of the challenges and opportunities associated with sustainable water storage and distribution. The project's data requirements are systematically outlined in dedicated tables and interpreted in rigorous text analysis. This info serves as comprehensive tools, offering insights into the availability of data and its limitations across eight local and one regional demonstration sites. This detailed overview of data serves as the foundation for informed decision-making and strategic planning, ensuring demo site characterization and the successful integration of innovative and sustainable water management practices within the demo sites and the Mediterranean region.

This project is part of the PRIMA Programme supported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No 2222.
