The INVASOR-ES project aims to develop advanced technological solutions to combat invasive alien species (IAS) in hydraulic infrastructures, especially in irrigation systems. These species, such as zebra mussels, apple snails and bryozoans, generate serious infrastructure problems: obstructions, breakdowns, high maintenance costs and loss of agricultural productivity. The development of this project will be an opportunity…

The project focuses on developing an innovative platform to minimize discharges into the natural environment by monitoring overflow points in the sanitation network. Using experimental data and artificial intelligence techniques, it will enable the prediction of discharges with sufficient advance notice to activate preventive mechanisms and detect uncontrolled discharges, providing insights into their origin. The…

The lack of water emerges as a first-order threat to the survival and future viability of crops, particularly and significantly affecting woody crops in rainfed areas. As the impacts of climate change become more evident, the availability of water is reduced, endangering not only immediate production but also the continuity of agricultural operations in these…

The aim of the ViWaTec project is to promote technological solutions and other innovative strategies that allow for improved water use efficiency in the wine sector. In pursuit of this objective, 8 state diagnoses and 3 technical and economic assessments will be carried out in 11 different wineries representing the territories, with individual visits by…

The SMARTH2OTEL project as a whole aims to study and develop digital and innovative solutions for the efficient and sustainable management of the water cycle in tourist establishments. In the current second phase of the project, SMARTH2OTEL 2.0, it is intended to consolidate the experimental data of the solutions studied in phase 1, of early…

The purpose of the ViWaTec project is to promote technological solutions and other innovative strategies that improve water use efficiency in the wine sector. Pursuing this objective, 8 state diagnoses and 3 technical and economic evaluations will be carried out in 11 different wineries representative of the territories, with individualized visits by expert companies in…

The Cosme Water Footprint project, in all its three phases, aims to develop a tool for calculating the organizational water footprint and the product produced in the cosmetic sector. It would be the first specific software for the sector with this objective, being a global innovation and reinforcing the sustainability positioning of the Spanish cosmetic…

Meat is a sector that requires a high consumption of water to clean vehicles, facilities and machinery. The reuse of water for cleaning without direct contact with food is a good way to reduce global consumption. However, guaranteeing the required water quality at all times is difficult due to the high economic cost of continuous…

The formation of foams in the decanters and biological reactors of WWTPs can mean a decrease in the efficiency of water purification and an increase in the economic costs that are necessary to deal with this process. To deal with this problem, the SurVue project proposes several actions in this regard, the first of which…

In the current context of drought and climate change, surface freshwater bodies are increasingly strategic long-term resources to guarantee water availability. Even so, the effects of the drought and the reduction of precipitation cause the reduction of volumes of these bodies of water and the consequent worsening of their quality due to the concentration of…
