    Overall Budget: 5,735,900 EURFunder Contribution: 4,835,100 EUR

    Urban water pollution, resulting from rapid urbanisation, industrialization, and climate change, poses a significant threat to public health and environmental impact, compromising water quality. Specifically, water quality deterioration is linked to diffuse pollution from pollutant surface and groundwater bodies, disrupting biodiversity and the quality of aquatic ecosystems while exacerbating the global water crisis. Traditional urban water management plans do not include a holistic monitoring approach to address emerging water pollution ignoring important water pollution sources and pathways. Detecting, preventing, and responding timely to these threats can ensure the preservation of clean and safe water sources and work towards a resilient and sustainable water future across Europe that prioritises both public health and environmental well-being. By committing to the destination of a clean environment and zero pollution, AQUAMON aims to perform innovation activities towards: - Securing high-quality drinking water, - Integrating sewer and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) control, - Building a water-smart management system for bathing waters to provide informed and safe opportunities for bathing in urban recreational waters, - Restoring our oceans, seas, and river water bodies by deploying unmanned vehicles across the water surface, underwater, and air, - Enhance sustainability to elevate wastewater quality to reuse standards, - Improving urban water quality monitoring management plans and regulation shaping throughout the entire urban water cycle. Designed around the challenges of 8 representative use cases across Europe, AQUAMON will implement effective monitoring strategies to enhance the comprehension of diffuse and point sources of water pollution within a global and climate change context.

  • Funder: European Commission Project Code: 101081728
    Overall Budget: 3,994,710 EURFunder Contribution: 3,994,710 EUR

    intoDBP will create innovative tools and strategies to improve water quality management for safe human use and a healthy environment. It focuses on catchment protection and forecasting, transformative drinking water treatment, and real-time monitoring to combat the effects of climate and global change. In particular, intoDBP focuses on pollution and risks related to disinfection by-products (DBPs). By developing and applying advanced, integrated, and cost-effective sensors and analytical methods, intoDBP will expand knowledge on water quality and DBP precursors to better understand its formation and human exposure in Europe. intoDBP monitoring results will feed into numerical forecasting tools to predict source water changes and formulate climate change adaptation pathways at catchment and treatment scale. intoDBP also develops transformative options for advanced and cost-effective upgrade of water treatment and disinfection. In the intoDBP consortium researchers, small and large enterprises, communication experts and public services join forces to generate interdisciplinary solutions, that will generate a renewed perspective of drinking water surveillance, support decision-making and governance, and increase system resilience. intoDBP will implement and validate its cross-cutting products in four complementary case studies from three European countries where compliance with DBP regulation currently is an acknowledged challenge. The direct and visible positive impact of intoDBP in the case studies will foster rapid product adoption at a European and global scale, thus strengthening Europe’s position and role in the global water market. Reaching out beyond the water sector itself, intoDBP will directly engage society through surveys to analyse exposure to DBPs, collect data about catchment protection initiatives, create awareness and promote sustainable consumer behaviour such as reducing bottled water consumption.

  • Funder: European Commission Project Code: 101070262
    Overall Budget: 5,253,960 EURFunder Contribution: 4,510,510 EUR

    The WATERVERSE mission is to develop a Water Data Management Ecosystem (WDME) for making data management practices and resources in the water sector accessible, affordable, secure, fair, and easy to use, improving usability of data and the interoperability of data-intensive processes, thus lowering the entry barrier to data spaces, enhancing the resilience of water utilities and boosting the perceived value of data and therefore the market opportunities behind it. WATERVERSE takes a holistic, interdisciplinary approach in the water domain, blending together complementary competencies of 17 partners located in 10 EU countries, representing the water domain with Research organisations (including social sciences experts), water utilities, water domain technology providers and innovation companies, as well as the technical community that is driving the development of data spaces, thus increasing the resilience of the water sector and water utilities, as a whole. The project will: (a) Actively engage end-users and stakeholders to assess the main gaps and challenges the water sector must overcome to effectively be part of and contribute to quality European data spaces; (b) Identify, extend, and integrate a wide set of data management tools to implement the WDME, based on FIWARE (www.fiware.org) Building Blocks and comprising tools and methods to ensure security and energy efficiency of the whole WDME; (c) Setup and demonstrate the WATERVERSE WDME in real environment with relevant and diverse case studies involving water sector stakeholders from 6 countries (Cyprus, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, United Kingdom); (d) Set clear and measurable indicators for assessing FAIRness of data in water-related data spaces; (e) Ensure the viability and sustainability of the WATERVERSE WDME, as well as its replicability, scalability and business applicability.
