Steering and reporting on a multi-stakeholder local public policy
Préfecture des Pyrénées-Orientales (the French State's representative in the department), departmental water resilience plan.
Launch of the Villes et villages sobres en eau label (water-efficient towns and villages), 23 May 2026.
The department is coming out of three years of drought. The préfecture is steering a water resilience plan that commits every municipality, with the Association des maires, the Banque des Territoires and the departmental council. Monitoring relied on email reminders.
A live dashboard for the department
Objective. Having a consolidated view on a continuous basis, without asking municipalities one by one for their volumes, their boreholes, their PGSSE and their wastewater reuse projects.
Solution. Each municipality has its own access to record and monitor its data, consolidated automatically at department level.
Creating, steering and analysing the call for applications for the label
Objective. Generating a shareable questionnaire with weighted scoring and automating the analysis of the municipalities' applications for the Villes et villages sobres en eau label.
Solution. Each applicant municipality receives personalised access to manage its water data according to the framework of the label and to monitor its water efficiency actions.

- Shared monitoring of actions for all contributors to the plan: the departmental council, the Association des maires, the Banque des Territoires.
- Recommending to municipalities the water sector SMEs and start-ups that bring field solutions.
