Good Practise and Adaption in the Aegean PP3: Region of North Aegean Aegean Water Resources Digital Repository (AWRDR) Aegean Water Resources Digital Repository (AWRDR) Project description The purpose of Aegean Water Resources Digital Repository was to improve public authority’s accessibility to a wide variety of reliable spatial and non spatial data, together with the associated information (metadata), at different scale and from multidisciplinary sources, organized and documented in a standard and consistent way. Reliable and accessible data can provide a safe ground for better water resource management, by assisting decision makers to promote multidisciplinary approaches in vulnerable areas protection and by creating better linkages to water, climate and other data. The public authorities related to environmental management decided to develop a digital repository accessible from the web, to store and share their available data. Public authorities (local and regional) carried out the project in two stages to ensure the repository’s efficiency and effectiveness. In the beginning, data and metadata related to water protection were collected and recorded. Secondly, using the proper tools and methods a web-based digital repository was built to facilitate the exchange of water resources data through the internet. By improving the remote access to reliable data, through the internet, local and regional authorities have a powerful tool to design master plans and perform easier remoted checks regarding the quality and the quantity of the available water resources. Fig. 1: Screenshot of the repository Raising Awareness on Different Levels Environmental education as a tool to raise awareness The objectives of Environmental Education AWARENESS, KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES, SKILLS, PARTICIPATION Creation of an easy to use guide for the design of basic educational and promotional campaigns. The guide is a simple check list and questionnaire designed to help decision makers in the public or private sector to accurately define their needs. This model of design and implementation should include the following stages: 1. Formulation of the problem: Holistic analysis of the issue. Brief and concise wording. 2. Key Objectives: Identify desired results. Long-term results. 3. Joint Analysis: Definition.- Population Division. 4. Objectives: Specific measurable results. 5. Development of Message / Options Media / Common Eligibility: Configuration f message and exploration of available options. 6. Selection and Facility Design: The most effective means. 7. Schedule: Proper monitoring of project development. 8. Formative Assessment: Correction of erroneous assumptions during design. 9. Final Evaluation: Determination of implementation objectives. 10. Budget.
