The SEACURE project, led by the BETA Technology Centre of the UVic-UCC and funded by the Horizon Europe programme, addresses nutrient pollution  (nitrogen and phosphorus) in the soil-river-sea system of the Mediterranean. This problem, caused by the excess of agricultural fertilisers and wastewater treatment plant effluents, contributes to the eutrophication of water bodies, causing algae…

The main objective of the WatEnerWine project is to promote sustainability and efficiency in the use of water and energy in the European wine industry. This initiative has a consortium made up of clusters, technology centers and companies from France, Italy and Spain, the three main wine-producing countries in Europe. For three years, WatEnerWine will…

SMARTH2OTEL 3.0 is the third and final phase of a collaborative project aimed at validating technological and digital solutions in real environments to improve water and energy efficiency in tourist establishments. The main objective of this phase is to demonstrate the technical and operational feasibility of the technologies developed in the previous phases, through their…

It is a second phase project that builds on the results obtained in the previous FLUENT project, during the execution of which work was carried out on the development of a breakdown prediction model in water distribution networks based on open source software and algorithms. FLUENT 2.0 proposes new functionalities and developments linked to the…

The formation of foams in the settlers and biological reactors of WWTPs (Wastewater Treatment Plants) can lead to a decrease in water treatment efficiency and an increase in the economic costs required to manage this issue. To address this problem, the SurVue project proposes several actions. The first is to carry out a study on…

The RE2AQUA project aims to promote the reuse of water in the agri-food industry, based on scientific and technical evidence, ensuring that it is suitable for reuse based on its level of quality and complying with current regulatory requirements. This will allow the sector to continue improving efficiency in water management, contributing to its adaptation…

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…
