Our coordinator, TUM (Technical University of Munich) was more than happy to host a presentation at EWEPA 2024, in Faro (PR), between June 18-21, 2024. The presentation was about the “Economic Analysis of Water Management in the European Union”.

Multiple concerns regarding water management persist at the global level. In the European Union, the Water Framework Directive (WFD) is the main regulatory framework to address water-related policy. However, water management must also consider the complex relationships between water-using sectors. The Water, Energy, Food, and Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus emerged as a conceptual approach to address this interlinkage but still needs dedicated economic approaches.
