Europe’s water resources are under significant pressure, leading to water scarcity and quality deterioration. Agriculture is responsible for 59% of total freshwater use. To address these challenges, the EU-funded project Universwater, with 15 partners from six European countries, aims to develop an integrated agri-water management platform using advanced technologies, including sensors, AI, and earth observation, to optimise water use and quality.
This interdisciplinary consortium will implement and demonstrate solutions across various EU case studies, focusing on sustainable water reuse and pollution prevention to ensure efficient and safe agricultural practices.
Use Cases
The UNIVERSWATER project intends to demonstrate its platform through field-testing integrated technologies at three European demo sites in Irelands, Italy and Greece. Developed in collaboration with relevant agricultural and water stakeholders, the case studies will address anticipated challenges in the agricultural water systems where UNIVERSWATER technologies can provide significant benefits.
