11 partners from 8 European countries visited Glasgow as part of the Sigma for Water (S4W) Project funded through the InterReg 4c Programme. GCV Green Network Partnership co-hosted with IRRI the 2 workshop sessions together with site vists and related meetings for the UK element of the project. Site visits included the "7 Lochs Wetland Park" and "J4M8 Ditribution Park" to showcase both opportunity for wetland park development and Integrating Green Infrastructure (IGI) respectively.
The overall objective of the S4W Project is to encourage all partners' ability to develop and enhance lakes and wetlands for climate change, both for water quality and flood mitigation capabilities. All partners found the visit very interesting and useful and the Project overall has taken positive steps forward.
