The guide compiles simple and reliable methods for sampling and testing basic water quality parameters (temperature, flow, pH, total hardness, ions) in springs and fountains. It aims to provide local communities with the necessary knowledge and practical tools to actively contribute to the monitoring and protection of this valuable natural resource.

The Citizen Science guidebook was printed with the financial support of the Municipality of Konitsa and was designed and presented within the framework of the action for the development of Citizen Science for monitoring water quality, under the project: Connectivity Conservation Initiative for Fresh Drinking Water, funded by Prespa Ohrid Nature Trust – PONT.

The file is available in Greek.

This handbook documents a methodology for renovating interior plastering systems on stone masonry using low-impact lime- and clay-based materials enhanced with vegetable fibers. In this regard, it illustrates how a plastering system with enhanced thermal properties can be employed to modestly enhance the energy efficiency of a historic structure without compromising its architectural features. These interventions rely on local, natural materials and techniques based on traditional knowledge and the principles of reuse and recycling.

The research and implementation of the works was part of the project  KERETSI.

The creation of the handbook was supported by the INTBAU Grassroots Grants Programme.
