| Short description: |
The European water sector is highly fragmented: water resources, water
supply and sanitation/wastewater have often been managed locally.
This fragmentation is an obstacle for developing a research strategy for a
competitive water sector. Overcoming this obstacle is one of the important
aims of WSSTP.
This was conceived and drafted by five working groups,
consisting of water sector experts and representatives of water sector
stakeholders. The vision paints a picture of what could be achieved by 2030 if
resources for research and development resources would be made available
and targeted to respond onto the issues and challenges that the European
water sector is facing. The vision identifies research needs on a high level, to
be developed further in more detail in a the document
.
It also addresses the delivery of the mission of WSSTP. Proposals how to
deliver the research will be covered in the third document, i.e. the
.
One of the major achievements of the WSSTP is that only after 6 months
the very fragmented water sector has been able to produce a common vision
on their future. This unique cooperation and coordination of multiple
stakeholders further develops during the discussions on the Strategic Research
Agenda.
