The Tackling Drought initiative is part of the Blue Deal programme, a collaboration between the Dutch Water Authorities and Apple Romane, WBA Jiu. It focuses on the Jiu River in southwest Romania, a region severely affected by drought.
Understanding Drought
What exactly is drought, and how does it impact communities? This project aims to address these questions, exploring the complexities of drought and its far-reaching consequences. When we talk about tackling drought, we must consider: Whose problem is it? What steps can be taken to mitigate its effects?
The Story of the Jiu River
This video, narrated by the Jiu River itself, shares the story of the region's struggle with drought and the collaborative efforts to combat it. Through this project, partners are working to find sustainable solutions that benefit both the environment and the people who rely on the river’s resources.
