Guidelines for maintenance of WOLLs.

Abstract

This document is a strategic manual produced within the Water4All Partnership, specifically for Pillar D Demonstration activities, task D2.6 – Replication of Methodologies. The core purpose of this task is to create guidelines that will (i) ensure the successful replication of methodologies for Water-Oriented Living Labs (WOLLs) and (ii) support their lasting upkeep and performance beyond Water4All (Annex 1). WOLLs are realistic, user-focused environments where stakeholders collaborate to co-create, test, and validate innovative water solutions in real-world conditions. The Water4All activities for the replication of methodologies provide directives for maintaining and strategically evolving WOLLs, with a focus on Demonstration efforts. This report builds on the groundwork laid by earlier activities implemented in the framework of Water4All Pillar D, including the startup guide for setting up a WOLL and the strategic roadmap for creating and maintaining a successful WOLL. Its principal objective is to ensure the long-term viability, development, and effectiveness of WOLLs through the duplication of proven methods and effective approaches.
