The EU-financed DESSIN research project therefore develops an evaluation framework to help the companies and authorities concerned with the use \u2018ecosystem services\u2019 to choose the right, sustainable measures \u2013 for example, to purify polluted water, or to make up for water shortages in agriculture or in urban areas through the provision of extra freshwater. <!--more Click to read more--><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, on 16 and 17 March, DESSIN project partners from Germany, Spain, Greece, Norway and the Netherlands met at KWR in Holland to share their experiences in the development and application of innovations in the watercycle. This marked an important step towards the development of a generic evaluation framework, an internationally applicable tool for the assessment of the impact of measures on the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1931\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1931\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1931\" src=\"https:\/\/dessin-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSCF3655-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF3655\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dessin-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSCF3655-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dessin-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSCF3655-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1931\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Participants of the DESSIN meeting<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ecosystem can offer solutions to many of the \u2018water\u2019 problems that confront us, such as water scarcity and poor water quality.
