“…This is particularly important for the implementation of the solutions, that aim to overcome the current challenges. A combination of scientific support and stakeholder analysis, through the living labs, unravels unexplored human and technological solutions that are innovative in relation to the problem and in the way they interact [30]. To our knowledge, this is the first application of a SIA-living lab process for sustainable and integrated water management in Greece.…”

“…SIA is based on systems theory and is particularly useful for assessing complex problems and developing innovative solutions. The SIA is a concept developed in our living labs [30][31][32], where human-environmental-technological systems are assessed with the aim of co-developing a set of solutions/common visions for the future, together with key stakeholders. This is particularly important for the implementation of the solutions, that aim to overcome the current challenges.…”

The proactive sustainable management of scarce water across vulnerable agricultural areas of South Europe is a timely issue of major importance, especially under the recent challenges affecting complex water systems. The Basin District of Thessaly, Greece’s driest rural region, has a long history of multiple issues of an environmental, planning, economic or administrative nature, as well as a history of conflict. For the first time, the region’s key-stakeholders, including scientists and policymakers, participated in tactical meetings during the 19-month project “Water For Tomorrow”. The goal was to establish a common and holistic understanding of the problems, assess the lessons learned from the failures of the past and co-develop a list of policy recommendations, placing them in the broader context of sustainability. These refer to enhanced and transparent information, data, accountability, cooperation/communication among authorities and stakeholders, capacity building, new technologies and modernization of current practices, reasonable demand and supply management, flexible renewable energy portfolios and circular approaches, among others. This work has significant implications for the integrated water resources management of similar south-European cases, including the Third-Cycle of the River Basin Management Plans and the International Sustainability Agendas.
