> Dear colleague,
>
>
> We would like to remind you of WISIONS' current PREP call on good
> practice projects in the field of 'Water for Energy and Energy for
> Water'. The application deadline is on February 16th, 2008.
>
>
>
> Details about the call and how to submit your good practice project:
>
> WISIONS is an initiative of the German Wuppertal Institute for
> Climate, Environment and Energy, on behalf of the Swiss Foundation
> ProEvolution. One action field is called PREP, the Promotion of
> Resource Efficiency Projects. PREP's key objectives are publishing
> and promoting good practice in energy and resource efficiency.
> People around the world are asked to present their good practice
> examples. Topic and target groups thus will vary regularly with the
> objective of addressing a wide range of issues and stakeholders.
> The most convincing projects will be published in WISIONS brochures
> and will be promoted to multipliers, political decision-makers,
> scientists and activists. By doing this, projects will get the
> publicity they deserve and provide certain ideas worldwide to
> improve the efficient use of resources.
>
> WISIONS launched its new PREP-call on the topic 'Water for Energy
> and Energy for Water'. Water and energy are precious resources,
> however, many people in developing countries lack access to save
> drinking water and sanitation, the withdrawals for agriculture are
> competing with water users from other sectors, and energy
> shortfalls due to increased energy demand are predicted. Therefore
> WISIONS aims to promote good practice examples dealing either with
> water as a driving agent for renewable energy (e.g. small hydro
> schemes, wave and tidal power plants) or with the provision of
> clean and safe drinking water by renewable energy (e.g. solar
> driven desalination, groundwater pumping or irrigation systems). Up
> to 5 good practice projects will be chosen for publication and will
> receive a grant of 500 Euros.
>
> The application deadline is on February 16th, 2008.
>
> The fields of interest include
>
> Projects concerned with socially and ecologically sound small
> hydropower
> Projects that focus on wave or tidal power
> Projects that t reduce water poverty by, for example, the
> desalination of salted or brackish water with the help of renewable
> energy
> Projects that support water treatment systems operating with
> renewable energy to improve the reuse of water and sanitation to
> ensure high water quality
> Projects that address the use of renewable energy for water pumping
> and resource efficient irrigation systems
>
> How to participate
>
> Send a brief description of your successfully implemented good
> practice project dealing with water and renewable energy to
> info@wisions.net
> WISIONS gives you feedback of the project's qualification for
> application.
> In case of positive response fill in the application form and send
> it back to WISIONS.
> Your project will be published in a PREP brochure and/or on the
> WISIONS homepage.
> Has your project been decided for being published in the PREP
> brochure, you will additionally receive a grant of 500 Euros.
> All PREP brochures will be available in hardcopy and online. They
> will be distributed among networks, politicians, scientists and
> other relevant multipliers.
> All necessary information is available at http://www.wisions.net/
