Skills Integration and New Technologies (SKINT)

Brief summary

The Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Floods Directive (FD) have clear goals to improve water quality and to regulate water quantity. The use of appropriate spatial planning processes can address many urban water management problems.

SKINT facilitates the implementation of sustainable urban land and water management by improving the integration of water management and spatial planning processes. Ultimately SKINT will contribute to the achievement of the WFD and FD objectives of improving water quality and reducing flood risk in urban areas.

The project is being implemented through a series of work packages. And each partner will undertake at least one regional project that will help to demonstrate implementation of the work package deliverables.

There are seven SKINT partner organisations within the participating North Sea Region countries (The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany and Norway) bringing together a wide range of specialists from public sector and academic disciplines.

The project runs between 01.10.2008 and 31.10.2012 and aims to provide an enduring legacy
