LIFE LOGOS4WATERS – Integrated application of innovative water management methods at river basin by coordination of local governments

 

The primary objective of the LIFE LOGOS 4 WATERS project is to enhance the climate adaptation and coordination capacities of local municipalities while facilitating access to financial resources and ensuring the efficient use of EU funding for climate-related initiatives. Building on the experience and outcomes of the LIFE-MICACC project, which concluded in November 2021, this goal will be achieved by addressing water balance challenges through the implementation of integrated, ecosystem-based water management solutions at the catchment level.

An additional aim of the project is to promote the adoption of good practices in Natural Water Retention Measures (NWRMs) at both local and catchment levels. This includes disseminating knowledge from domestic and international examples and sharing results in collaboration with local municipalities.

The negative impacts of climate change are evident across all regions and counties of Hungary. However, the severity and nature of these effects vary by location, depending on the specific challenges faced—for example, flash floods in hilly areas or water scarcity and inequalities in regions along the Danube.

Within the framework of the LIFE LOGOS 4 WATERS project, we are testing complex Natural Water Retention Measures (NWRMs) on two demonstration catchment areas. These areas were selected based on their vulnerability and the specific water-related challenges they face. The solutions implemented through this project will serve as valuable examples of good practice for other Hungarian catchment areas and neighboring regions experiencing similar issues.
