Work package 1. Fostering stakeholders’ engagement
The needs, capacities, roles, responsibilities and commitment as well as engagement of stakeholders from four Mediterranean case studies will be mapped at national/regional/local level and analyzed for the development of the feasibility maps, the elaboration and endorsement of adaptive agreements, and their implementation for a local MAR system.
D1.1a Preliminary analysis of project-relevant stakeholders
Deliverable D1.1a identifies for each project demo site the key stakeholders at three levels that are significant for the joint development of an overall governance agenda for MAR and its participatory implementation at the local level. In addition, initial assumptions are made about the needs and competences of the identified stakeholders in relation to MAR.

Work package 2. MAR feasibility mapping
A set of methodologies for MAR feasibility assessment at regional level will be developed, including a comprehensive matrix of feasibility criteria and considering biophysical, technological, social, economic, environmental, hydrological, institutional, and financial indicators.
D2.1 Matrix of feasibility criteria for managed aquifer recharge
Deliverable D2.1 is dedicated to the compilation of an extensive database containing hydrogeological, geochemical, biophysical, environmental, social, economic feasibility criteria for managed aquifer recharge. The current version of the database can be downloaded from the following address: http://agreemar.inowas.com/feasibility-criteria/.

D2.2 Participative methodology for criteria selection and weighting in MAR site feasibility mapping
Deliverable D2.2 is dedicated to the development of a new methodological approach for mapping the geospatial feasibility of managed aquifer recharge applications. The report focuses on the selection and weighting of feasibility criteria and their integration into a GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis.

D2.3 MAR feasibility maps validated for each demo region
Deliverable 2.3 is dedicated to the development of feasibility maps for each demo region based on the adaptive methodology described in Deliverable 2.2 which integrates two workflows centered on expert-based input and active stakeholder participation. This report focuses on providing a step-by-step description of the methodology used for creating the MAR feasibility maps, including problem definition, constraint mapping, criteria selection, standardisation of criteria values, weights assignment, feasibility mapping and validation.
(Deliverable 2.3 is not available for download)
Work package 3. Adaptive governance framework
The feasibility maps will be used for the elaboration of an adaptive governance framework for MAR benefits sharing. This will include drafting country-specific multi-sectorial, multi-stakeholder agreements on water allocation plans for MAR implementation. The general objective is to provide draft agreements for MAR among stakeholders from different societal sectors, integrating the general, regional and local scales.
D3.1 Preliminary analysis of indicators and methodologies for decision-making
Deliverable D3.1 provides a preliminary analysis of indicators and methodologies for decision-making and highlights the importance of integrated water management and the use of indicators for planning and sustainable exploitation of managed aquifer recharge (MAR) projects.

D3.2 General Governance Framework for MAR agreements
Deliverable D3.2 presents a general governance framework to support managed aquifer recharge (MAR) agreements. It provides a fundamental basis, paving the way for the co-creation of committed and responsible agreements that are essential to the effective management of MAR systems.

D3.3 Set of Regional Draft Agreements tailored to the project case studies
Deliverable D3.3 covers the technical assessments, stakeholder engagement, regulatory framework analysis, and the elaboration of guidelines for managed aquifer recharge (MAR) agreements implementation tailored to each case study of the AGREEMAR project in Spain, Portugal, Tunisia, and Cyprus.

Work package 4. Validation through numerical modelling
The governance scenarios will be supported at local scale by groundwater flow models that will help to understand the response of the aquifer to the proposed interventions and to discuss with stakeholders’ alternative scenarios including the no-action impacts.
D4.1 Models for MAR scenarios and validation
Deliverable 4.1 summarises the numerical groundwater flow modelling work using MODFLOW as well as the basin modelling work using AQUATOOL at the four AGREEMAR demonstration sites in Spain, Portugal, Cyprus and Tunisia to quantitative evaluate the local implementation of MAR. The models enable the identification, validation and further improvement via interventions of existing or planned MAR schemes located in the case study regions based on consolidated scientific evidence.

D4.2 Technical case study briefs on the specification of selected MAR infrastructure by implementation sites
Deliverable D4.2 provides Technical Case Study Briefs with the main numerical modelling outcomes for each of the four demonstration sites, addressing the main questions and concerns raised by stakeholders during project meetings. These findings offer valuable insights into the effects of various water management scenarios, helping to support future decision-making considering new water resources and alternative manage-ment strategies.

Work package 5. Agreements implementation at local scale
A general costs-benefits analysis for areas selected for implementation will assess the economic impact of the MAR schemes. The governance framework will be refined based on groundwater flow simulations and economic valuation, and specific agreements will be negotiated with local stakeholders.
D5.2 Capacity development workshops and training courses in the AGREEMAR project
Deliverable D5.2 provides an overview of the capacity development formats conducted across the four case sites of the AGREEMAR project in Cyprus, Spain, Portugal and Tunisia. These formats play a vital role in enhancing the institutional and managerial capacities of stakeholders, ensuring the sustainability and long-term adoption of the project outcomes.
