Cross-border collaboration (Vallon de Réchy)
Optimizing the management and protection of groundwater resources The Réchy project follows on from the STRADA cross-border cooperation project (INTERREG IV Alcotra Italy-Switzerland, 2007-2013), which aimed to understand the behavior of mountain aquifers in different geographical and hydrogeological contexts, under climatic constraints. The aim was to understand the behavior of mountain aquifers in different geographical and hydrogeological contexts under climatic constraints, taking into account the potential effects of climate change, in particular… Read More
