A Geographic Information System as a Decision Supporting Tool for Integrated Water Management

Geographic Informative Systems (GIS), as decision support can be used by anyone intervening in the planning and management of water resources, both natural and reused. In particular, the GIS that is being developed within the DEPURCOST Project is applied to the rationalisation of the use of recycled water resources. DEPURCOST Project, co-financed by ENEA and the Ministry for Education, University and Research, has been developed for the Calabria region. Notwithstanding this, it has been structured so that its results could be exported to most Italian and Mediterranean regions. DEPURCOST is a three-year Project and its main goal is to test some wastewater treatment technologies for water reuse in agriculture (membranes and constructed wetlands).
