💧 NIAGARA Project EU will be at the 2nd Freshwater Clustering Event on March 6th, 2025. The event will bring together innovative pilot projects tackling climate challenges, business models, and collaborative opportunities in freshwater management. Registrations are still open! More details below 👇

The NIAGARA Project EU aims to help drinking water treatment plants overcome key challenges including the presence of emerging pollutants, the formation of organic compounds during disinfection processes, and a lack of analytical tools for real-time monitoring of water contaminants among others. To tackle this, the NIAGARA Project is pioneering innovative solutions to enhance water treatment processes, including: 🔬 #Biosensors for real-time monitoring of emerging contaminants 🧪 Enzymatic Degradation Systems for sustainable pollutant removal ☀️ UV/TiO2 Photocatalysis for safer water #disinfection 📊 Real-Time Risk Management using advanced predictive models 🔗 Learn more about NIAGARA and its mission to safeguard water quality by reading this article: https://lnkd.in/d8bDJa3D

🗓On 12th March 2025, we will participate in a special edition of Water Projects Europe during the AQUATECH 2025 Conference in Amsterdam. 🔍The #WPE event at AQUATECH 2025 will bring together EU-funded projects working at the forefront of #digitalization and #innovation in #WaterManagement. Under the primary theme of EU funded projects IDEATION and WATERVERSE, the event will explore the development of a unified, interoperable digital twin of the hydrosphere—from inland waters to oceans— which can be facilitated by the creation of an ecosystem for efficient Water Data Management.

🌊 Shape the Future of Water Resilience in Europe! 🌊 The European Commission is seeking stakeholders and relevant parties input to design the European Water Resilience Strategy to help strengthen our water systems. Your insights can help shape policies that: ✅ Restore and protect the water cycle ✅ Ensure clean and affordable water for all ✅ Boost a competitive, water-wise circular economy 🔗 Have your say: https://lnkd.in/d-dc_4C5 hashtag #WaterResilience #EUWaterStrategy #Sustainability #Innovation

Current standards for detecting, identifying, and quantifying pollutants in water, like HPLC-MS and GC-MS, have significant limitations⚠️. #Biosensors generate unanimous consensus among the scientific community, offering high accuracy, precision, and robustness ✅. However, most biosensors focus on wastewater, while drinking water monitoring in Drinking Water Treatment plants remains unvalidated ❌. Optical label-free biosensors have huge potential for detecting small organic pollutants, but mainly at the lab scale and for single-analyte detection 🧪. 💡 The NIAGARA Project EU is tackling this challenge! Our goal is to develop a cost-effective, multi-analyte biosensor for routine use in DWTPs, ensuring high-quality drinking water before it reaches consumers 🚰. 🔎 But this is not all!
