LIFE REVERS’EAU

Recovering good water status in Pays de la Loire region

With the LIFE REVERS’EAU project, led by the Pays de la Loire Regional Council, a new momentum will boost the investments made over several years, to recover good status of watercourses in the region. How? By mobilising environmental stakeholders around this shared issue and by rolling out actions aimed at improving water quality and aquatic environments.

The LIFE REVERS’EAU project has a clear objective: to reach 37% of water bodies with good ecological status in Pays de la Loire region by 2027. To be successful, this project is relying on localised, individual actions, and collective actions in the regional area, but also between regions, nationally and Europe-wide ones

The three ambitions of the LIFE REVERS’EAU project:
1. MOBILISE AND RAISE AWARNESS to take better into account the goal ofrestoring good ecological status for water in the Pays de la Loire region and share the challenges. The objective is to bring together water stakeholders at the Pays de la Loire regional level, consolidate the momentum for action, improve the common understanding of the challenges between all the local stakeholders and test other ways of implementing actions in the different areas.
2. TAKE ACTION with respect to river basins. The objective is to facilitate actions to improve the resilience of rivers basins and to learn lessons. Those lessons can be used to disseminate the said actions and to reproduce those same actions region-wide and more generally in the Loire Bretagne basin by implementing tools, supporting stakeholders, conducting works and through plantations…
3. FURTHER KNOWLEDGE on key themes. The objective, with respect to certain subjects (sociology, hydrology etc.) is to broaden the knowledge to guide local strategies, especially with the perspective of climate change.
