Digital Tools for Sustainable Water Resources Management: Integrating impact of change of climate, land use, and optimised solutions

Extreme climatic events can bring considerable impacts on human societies and ecosystems.

Global warming induced by anthropogenic climate change has intensified the hydrological cycle and water quality challenges.

These challenges include polluted runoff from urban areas and man-made systems and landscape running into receiving water bodies such as rivers and lakes, causing eutrophication problems, increased harmful algal blooms, and high pathogen loads. Consequently, our drinking water supply, ecosystem services, and human health are threatened.

Therefore, joint efforts through our competent consortium in water management knowledge and top-edge development in our field will make our water management smarter and inspire many players in the water sector in and outside Europe.

Our consortium partners have already been working on the top edge of digitalisation in the water industry, advanced sensors for water quality monitoring and risk warning, advanced computation with AI and machine learning combined with process-based modelling.

We aim to transform developed digital tools for sustainable management of water resources by integrating the impact of climate change, land use, and optimised solutions with receiving waters.

The highlight of our competence varies from urban flood control to 3D technology application, sensor development to advanced process-based modelling, and AI for water quality prediction to science citizen engagement.
