Join the Webinar on Digital Solutions for Agricultural Water Management on Dec 11

As climate change continues to reshape the agricultural landscape, the need for smart, data-driven water management has never been more critical. On December 11, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM CET, UNIVERSWATER invites you to explore the cutting edge of ag-tech in a special webinar organized by the Water Europe Expert Group on Water and Agrifood.

The Challenge: Farming in a Changing Climate
Agriculture relies heavily on consistent water access to grow crops and sustain livestock. However, shifting weather patterns—characterized by increasingly wet winters and dry, scorching summers—are disrupting traditional farming activities. To adapt, the sector is turning to digitalization.

The Solution: Decision Support Systems
Digital solutions and Decision Support Systems (DSS) are becoming essential tools for farmers, helping them optimize irrigation, assess risks, and manage scarce resources. This free online webinar will move beyond theory to introduce practical software and hardware applications that are improving water management in the field today.

What to Expect
The session offers a comprehensive look at the current state of digital water management, from data collection to risk assessment.

Agenda Highlights:

• 11:00 – Welcome & Introduction: Andrea Rubini (Water Europe) will open the session with an overview of Water Europe’s Vision and the role of the Expert Group on Water and Agrifood.

• The Power of Data: Mariarina Michailidou (AGENSO) will provide a general introduction to data collection, analysis, and the foundations of decision support systems.

• Optimizing Irrigation: Vito Buono (SYSMAN) will showcase DSS designed specifically for the optimal use of water in irrigation.

• Assessing Risk: Georges Manassakis (WINGS) will discuss DSS tools used to assess the risk of utilizing alternative water sources.

• Matching Supply & Demand: Charlotte Boeckaert (VITO) will present the “Water Radar,” a tool designed to match the supply and demand for alternative water sources.

The event will conclude with an audience Q&A and closing remarks.
