Description the Project:
The main goal of the AMIIGA project is to improve the management and decision-making process in terms of dealing with contaminated groundwater on a functional urban area (FUA) scale.

The AMIIGA project focuses on developing an integrated assessment strategy, as well as the reclamation and management of groundwater quality. The strategy will be used as a basis for seven “operational plans” (MAP) for functional urban areas defined in the project. It will include activities to develop and implement technical (including biological reclamation methods), process, and organizational innovations that will streamline the process of managing water resources in the relevant administrative bodies.

The project is also intended to develop and test in practice a common approach to engaging interested stakeholders on an FUA scale to work together to establish “operational plans” (MAP).

Results of the Project – benefits for the region:

• an implemented system for monitoring groundwater on an FUA scale allows for the proper management of groundwater,
• the development of procedures for decision support in terms of the selected groundwater rehabilitation method,
• the establishment of a regular platform for joint coordination of activities of various parties from different sectors and levels involved in the management and monitoring of groundwater on an FUA scale.
