This survey is part of the Interreg Euro-Med project SHARE-MedWATER. Since water scarcity in the Euro-MED region is worsening due to climate change, erratic weather, and growing water demand in agriculture, tourism, and urban areas, this project addresses this challenge by promoting the use of unconventional water sources—rainwater, greywater, and wastewater—through storage, treatment, reuse, and jointly developed management models for rural areas in 7 EU Countries (Cyprus, Italy, Spain, Albania, Greece, France, Malta).
The aim of this survey is to explore awareness, perceptions, barriers and social acceptance among different end-users (mainly citizens) on the reuse of unconventional water. The results will contribute to policy recommendations and the design of the pilot actions in the partner's country.
Unconventional water sources refer to water supplies that are not traditionally used, such as surface water or groundwater. They are increasingly being used to address water scarcity, especially in regions facing climate change and high water demand.
The types are defined as follows:
Rainwater: Water that is collected directly from precipitation, typically through roof catchments or other surfaces, for immediate or future use (Rainwater Harvesting).
Runoff water: from fields is excess rainwater or irrigation water that flows over the land's surface instead of soaking.
Greywater: Wastewater from non-toilet plumbing fixtures such as sinks, showers, bathtubs, and washing machines. It is generally less contaminated than other wastewater and is suitable for non-potable reuse applications like garden watering and toilet flushing after minimal treatment.
Wastewater: Used water from any combination of domestic (toilet flushing, kitchen, laundry), industrial, commercial, or agricultural activities. It is also referred to as sewage. This water requires extensive treatment before being safely reused (treated wastewater) for purposes such as irrigation or, in advanced cases, even potable reuse.

Please note: your responses will be aggregated and anonymised, and used for the purposes of the SHARE-MedWATER project (including policy recommendations and design of pilot actions).
