Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Agri-Water Management 🌱💧
About us
Water quality and quantity face increasing pressure from agricultural activities, often leading to overexploitation and pollutant runoff. Climate change compounds these stresses, posing complex challenges for agri-water management. The UNIVERSWATER is an EU-funded project involving a consortium, of 15 partners from six European countries. The project intends to develop innovative sensors, earth observation imaging, AI techniques, and sustainable remediation methods. These technologies will integrate into decision support systems tested in various case studies, ultimately creating a universal, adaptable platform for optimising water resources.

Information about the EU #Water Reuse Regulation is now available on the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protection Agency (EPA)’s REUSExplorer. The REUSExplorer is a tool which aims at tracking and summarising worldwide regulation and guidelines for water reuse for a variety of sources and end-uses. Along with the US States, the tool provides a summary of regulations and guidelines on water reuse from Australia, the World Health Organization, and now the European Union. Check it out below to learn more about it! https://lnkd.in/eK7b-cnt

🚨 The European Environment Agency’s State of Water Report is a wake-up call for Europe’s water resources, with 20% of the territory and 30% of the population now facing water stress. 🌾 Agricultural activities are a key contributor, placing immense pressure on water supplies. Water abstraction for irrigation has surged, and inefficiencies are worsening the issue—distribution losses reach up to 70% in some areas. 💧 To build a Water Resilient Europe, the report emphasizes the need for water efficiency solutions, including water metering, to drive sustainable practices in agriculture and beyond.
