Urban water runoff, a threat to public health and biodiversity, worsens with changing rainfall patterns and the discovery of new contaminants. Collaboration among urban planners, policymakers, and water utilities is essential to mitigate diffuse pollution. Implementing scalable hybrid Nature Based Solutions (NBS) offers potential. By identifying and monitoring water pollutants, NBS can be tailored to social needs, policies, and urban design. Insights from three pilot locations will be crucial in developing effective and scalable hybrid NBS solutions.

This report (D6.3) provides a comprehensive insight into the dissemination and communication activities that have been carried out in the first 18 months of the D4RUNOFF project by the consortium partners. In parallel, it continues the initial deliverable D6.1, which presents the overall dissemination and communication strategy and serves as the basis for the activities and work to be performed in the upcoming 18 months (D6.8).

A complete listing of communication activities and methods will be presented, along with their impact on different target groups and the progress made in relation to the major Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) defined in D6.1. An analysis of the results and strategies will allow the project to evolve, increasing its dissemination and communication efficiency.
