The Alter Aqua Programme was initiated in November 2011 to help the Maltese Islands combat water scarcity and raise awareness on sustainable methods to protect freshwater resources. Activities commenced in Gozo. The Programme since then expanded to the Island of Malta and in January 2014 the Energy and Water Agency joined as a new partner.
In a span of 10 years, over 23 sites have received assistance through the Alter Αqua programme.
