DescriptionUkraine occupies a fairly significant place in the global ranking for the area of agricultural land (in the TOP-10, occupying the 6th place in the world) and owns 43.37 million hectares (ie 2.31% of the world's arable land area). The soil cover of the country is characterized by significant variegation both in terms of morpho-genetic and qualitative characteristics, which increases the number of objects for monitoring the state of the environment. The activity of certified agrochemical laboratories expands the possibility of taking these features into account. In particular, the long-term experience of PLT LAB, accredited in accordance with the requirements of ISO / IES 17025, which includes cooperation with about 2,000 agricultural enterprises of Ukraine, allowed us to analyze within 1,850,000 hectares of land areas! The existing database of available analytical material of the laboratory, obtained within a certain region and characteristic of a specific type of soil, allows to assess the level of its fertility, to compare it with the productivity of crops and to develop recommendations for rational land use.
Project DescriptionClimate change has both positive and negative consequences for agricultural production. The prolongation of the growing season is leading to the spread of crops that were not traditional until recently. There are practically no areas with limited thermal resources for growing heat-loving crops (corn, soybeans). At the same time, rapid and excessive heat accumulation contributes to the premature ripening of various crops and can lead to a decrease in yields, which require additional irrigation water to stabilize. Changes in the structure of sown areas lead to an intensification of the anthropogenic load on ecosystems in the form of pesticides, fertilizers, and depletion of the soil's organic component. The uneven and multidirectional nature of climate change in Ukraine necessitates detailed research, particularly at the local level, to adapt existing nutrition and plant protection systems to the requirements of crops caused by climate change and the need to reduce the negative impact on the environment. In particular: Taking into account soil fertility levels will allow to justify fertilizer application systems for precision, irrigated and organic farming, which will limit excessive or inefficient fertilizer application and unproductive losses of C/N/P, which can be a source of environmental pollution, in particular, fresh water and air; development of a strategy for the use of fertilizers with irrigation water based on their analysis will help prevent pollution of surface and

DescriptionPastoralist communities and women in rural arid areas of Kenya face numerous challenges in their daily lives, one of which is accessing clean and safe water. The scarcity of water resources in these areas makes it difficult to obtain adequate water for drinking, sanitation, and agricultural activities. Additionally, the water sources available in these areas are often saline, which can cause health problems such as dehydration, high blood pressure, and kidney damage. Furthermore, women and girls are disproportionately affected by the water crisis in these areas, as they are often responsible for collecting water for their families. This task can be physically demanding, time-consuming, and can even put their safety at risk, especially when they have to travel long distances to access water sources. A solar thermal desalination system can help solve the problem of water salinity in these areas. Solar thermal desalination uses solar energy to evaporate saline water and then collect and condense the resulting clean water vapor. This process removes salt and other contaminants from the water, producing clean and safe drinking water. By using solar thermal desalination, pastoralist communities and women in rural arid areas of Kenya can access clean water more easily and without the need to travel long distances to collect it. This would reduce the physical and safety risks that women and girls face while collecting water and would also improve their health and well-being.
Project DescriptionThe desalinizer project involves designing and building a system capable of removing salt and other minerals from seawater or brackish water to produce potable or usable water. The project would require a multidisciplinary approach, involving expertise in engineering, capacity development, local industries. The project would involve several stages, including research and feasibility analysis, design and development, testing and optimization, and finally, installation and operation. There will also be capacity building to the communities technically and also on climate resilience. During the design and development phase, the team would need to create detailed specifications for the system, including the dimensions, materials, and performance criteria. The team would also need to consider factors such as cost, ease of maintenance, and scalability for potential future applications. The testing and optimization phase would involve rigorous testing of the system to ensure it meets the desired performance criteria, such as water quality and production rate. The team would need to make adjustments to the system and retest until optimal performance is achieved. Finally, the installation and operation phase would involve installing the desalinizer system in the desired location and ensuring proper operation and maintenance to ensure long-term performance. Overall, a desalinizer project would require a significant investment of time, resources, and expertise.
Opportunities for NetworkingThis Project brings together; 1.The government -ministry of water and sanitation our parent organization 2.Association of local manufacturers-local Jua-kali sector will be fabricators of the desalinizer. 3.Kenyan communities in the rural and urban settings who will be trained on resilience and technical capacity 4.Water sector stakeholders both public and private 5.

Sand is placed at base which serves to retain water due to its capacity to become saturated. The inner filter divider bag, that both separates, and allows movement of moisture between, the two compartments therefore allowing the use of seawater for food growth as evaporation removes the salt from the water. A sleeved perforated pipe that spans the diameter of the bag and supplies a constant and adjustable airflow. This additionally acts as a drainage pipe when the bag is overloaded with water such as during extreme weather conditions. Opposing pockets are positioned on the bags outer edge through which water is supplied via funnels straight to the base of outer bag. Copper strip is applied to the perimeter of the bag and acts as a deterrent of slugs and snails this method does not kill these organisms but simply deters them. This system has been reviewed to build to a hydroponics units easily deployed as industrial units up to 50 metres long. This project will fianlise teh design and deployment systems and test them in the field.

KeywordsHydrology; Hydrogeology; climate variability; Geospatial modeling; GIS; Remote sensing
DescriptionI am passionate about the protection and management of water resources. I graduated Ph.D. in Environmental and Water Sciences at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa. I have a Master of Science in Hydrogeology from Addis Ababa University (2010) and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Geology from Mekelle University (2003). I am a highly motivated and forward-looking professional natural scientist (Pr. Sci. Nat.) in geosciences and water resources. My doctoral research focused on technologies to evaluate alternative water supply sources to augment water scarcity and improve water security in urban coastal cities. Geospatial modeling, the WorldWater model, global climate models downscaled to local scales, and the GIS-based DRASTIC model of the Cape Flats Aquifer System provided results that have been published in peer-reviewed journals (Gintamo, T. T., Mengistu, H., & Kanyerere, T. (2021), Groundwater for Sustainable Development, 15, 100663). My research interests include hydrology, hydrogeology, climate change, geospatial modeling, machine learning, and water quality. I use innovations and technologies such as GIS, remote sensing, Google Earth Engine, and machine learning for water resources studies. I am taking an online course on Earth observation for hydrological analysis with Waternet. This study has led me to focus more on climate and water analysis, mapping, and prediction to develop, design, and implement sustainable water resource management.
Project DescriptionDemand for freshwater is expected to continue to increase due to socioeconomic development and population growth. Urbanization and climate change are exacerbating water scarcity in the world's cities. Water management decisions require models to justify, predict, and understand water resource needs and security issues. Data collection is difficult (finances, maintenance, limited human resources, accessibility, security). I believe that scientific research, new technologies, and innovation processes are critical to the sustainable management of freshwater resources. I am interested in the opportunity to join Water4All and the WRC partnership in South Africa as a researcher on the topic of tools for water management in the context of extreme hydroclimatic events. I believe that my good analytical and numerical skills, as well as my ability to analyze large temporal and spatial datasets in geospatial modeling (GIS and Python environment), qualify me to join the project on the management of water resources under changing climate.

Project DescriptionHydroponics is based on growing plants in an inert growth medium so that the plants are provided through the roots with a nutrient solution that is completely balanced in terms of pH in a highly soluble form that makes it easier for the plant to absorb food with minimal effort, unlike traditional agriculture where the roots must search for and extract nutrients from the soil. Even when using organic soil rich in nutrients. The energy expended by the roots in this process could have been used for vegetative growth and fruit production. Hydroponics is a great hope for the production of sustainable organic crops. Accordingly, we want to establish the first project based on hydroponics, which provides an excellent crop throughout the year and of high quality

DescriptionOur integrated modelling platform (ARIES) can support efficient monitoring, projection and assessment of impacts on water resources in the context of hydro-climatic extreme events, as well as future climate and socio-economic change. It can also be used to support better understanding of water availability and vulnerability in Europe and their comparative analysis at various spatial and temporal scales, accounting explicitly for key drivers of change (e.g. climate, land cover/use, population/demographics), and providing insights into systemic interactions between climate change, land surface, storm events and groundwater hydrology, water engineering, human systems, and water quality-quantity inter-dependencies. Meanwhile, it can support stakeholders’ better policy making and water management decisions by raising awareness on individual and collective risks and impacts under alternative futures (e.g. future hotspots of water scarcity and droughts; adverse impacts on ecological flows and water dependent ecosystems), helping the creation of a shared vision of key challenges and opportunities that European policy needs to tackle. Besides, it can support the activities of EU and global initiatives on open data and interoperability, with a special focus on FAIR principles, INSPIRE and the Interoperability Strategy for the Next Generation of Water Accounting, and further integration of Earth Observation products, including Copernicus and GEOSS services, in technological frameworks
Project DescriptionOur would like to join a project to develop an important tool for policy making to support improved monitoring and understanding of the state and long-term trends of water resources quantity and quality, as well as of flows between the environment and economy, and flows between economic sectors, and collaborate effectively across different temporal and spatial scales. We want to design an open, distributed, extendable, interoperable and dynamic framework, which will be provided as an open source, semantic web-based application built on the UN Artificial Intelligence Environment & Sustainability platform (ARIES), following internationally accepted principles and standards, including UN SEEA-Water. The platform will be the key engine for the development of water quantity and quality accounts over the boundaries of a specified hydrological or administrative unit and for a specified time period. The adopted technical approach is strongly data-driven and less dependent on high-complexity modelling, synthesising inputs from international and national reporting streams, remote sensing data and models. It will also integrate probabilistic, stochastic and machine learning approaches for data analytics and timeseries manipulation. Different model modules will conduct accounting of water quantity and quality, and generate indicators addressing climate risks (e.g. aridity, heatwaves), water scarcity, droughts, water efficiency, water quality, ecological flows, and flood risk.

DescriptionThe CLIMERS group was initiated with the TU Wien Science Award 2015 awarded to Wouter Dorigo. Global warming is expected to amplify the global water cycle, which will lead to an increase the frequency and intensity of storms, floods, and droughts. The negative impact of droughts on vegetation will impact future food security and reduce the efficiency of vegetation as a sink of atmospheric carbon-dioxide, thus further exacerbating global warming. However, climate model predictions are uncertain as the long-term effects of drought on vegetation are only poorly understood due to lack of suited observational data. But the recent release of various long-term satellite-based datasets of soil moisture (produced by CLIMERS) and vegetation has created new avenues. The CLIMERS groups will use these datasets to unravel the role of water availability in driving vegetation growth and to assess how climate change has affected this relationship. The results will be used to improve state-of-the-art climate models that support the IPCC climate assessments.

They are responsible for many activities carried out in the province. Water and water management are among the most important activities of the municipality.
Project DescriptionThe deterioration of the air balance due to climate change causes extreme weather events, the unpredictability of water availability, the exacerbation of water scarcity, and the pollution of water resources. The collection, storage, and evaluation of rainwater is a very important method in terms of water resources management. As Trabzon Metropolitan Municipality, we aim to manage this process in the best way. Trabzon is a city that receives rain for 12 months, so it is very suitable for rainwater storage. For rainwater management, it is aimed to use the stored rainwater instead of the mains water in the irrigation areas of the municipal parks in the first place. We are looking for partners who can work with us on this project. if you are interested in this topic and would like to work with us. can you please contact us.

Keywordsadvanced synthetic methodologies; spectroscopic techniques, hybrid materials; biogenic silica
DescriptionOver the last 5 years my main activity was related with the implementation of advanced synthetic methodologies and the use of potentiometry and spectroscopic techniques to access the behavior in solution of new compounds, as well as complexes with different metal ions. These skills enable me to access the potential of a compound and apply it in different areas. My research, and established collaborations, was mainly focus on the interface of coordination, medicinal and environmental chemistry, being my main goal the design of new sensors that combine chelators and fluorophores or other spectroscopic probes with a specific response to different analytes, and the use of the different spectroscopic techniques to access the solution behavior of new compounds. In the last two years my research was focus on the preparation of new hybrid materials using, biogenic silica as silicon source. These years were paramount to develop my research not only because it gave me the experience regarding the state-of-the-art in this scientific field, allowed me to increase my network connections, but also allowed me establish collaborations with Portuguese companies.
Project DescriptionThe project focuses on the valorization and cascading use of biobased waste (BW) in the responsible design of new materials for sensing and catalytic applications. This proposal encourages the research that moves away from the linear “take-make-dispose” approach and proposes new ways in the production and application of new materials. In this proposal a strategy was built with the objective of design and synthesize new physical and chemical sensors and catalysts to be applied in sensing and catalysis applications. This proposal also focuses in the environmental and industrial applications of the obtained building blocks and compounds in paramount areas, namely sensing and catalysis. The development of new physical and chemical sensors will allow to contribute for important areas such as water monitoring, water and soil remediation, air quality assessments, and other important areas and we hope to contribute for a better knowledge of how to improve and manage these important resources. Regarding the new catalyst we will contribute for the development of this important area, catalysis, that will be paramount in the next years in the development of new biofuels and in obtaining new building blocks from biomass decreasing the need of fossil fuels.

For this purpose, it is aimed to develop a method using deep neural networks based on multiple data, including parameters that have not been used before in the literature. In addition, it is aimed to increase the estimation performance by analyzing the sudden peaks in the data with the sudden frequency change by using the Instantaneous Frequency (IF) features, VMD, LMD and Hilbert-Huang methods, which use the decomposition method according to the instantaneous frequency characteristics of the data, which has not been used in the literature before, in the estimation of daily river flow data. In the estimation of the peak flows, not only the past flow data of the predicted river is used, but also the flow data of the side rivers feeding this river, the lake level data where the river flows, and the meteorological precipitation, temperature, humidity, evaporation and wind speed data are also aimed to be used in the estimation study. In the project study, which is planned to be realized, studies will be carried out to define, characterize and determine the amount of inter-regional connectivity of the river flow in different regions depending on multiple parameters. The Phase Transfer Entropy (PTE) approach will be used to show the connectivity of the interregional river flow relationship.
Opportunities for NetworkingIn this project, a powerful prediction method will be created using advanced signal processing methods and Deep Neural Networks (DNN). Thanks to the model to be developed, a preliminary study will be put forward for the prediction of hydro-meteorological data together with the precise estimation of extreme situations.

DescriptionThe research group of Engineering Geology at Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences of University of Pavia is measuring, monitoring and modeling soil moisture dynamics in space and time in different environmental settings. Soil moisture is monitoring in field through different sensors, to highlight the main trends in time and along the soil profiles of agricultural areas, especially vineyards and sowed fields, and of shrublands and woodlands. Field measures have been acquired since 2012 in test-sites located in nothern Italy, namely in Apennines and in Po plain. We are also exploiting reanalysis and satellite datasets of soil moisture to cover wider areas, after the calibration and the validation of these data through field measures. Monitoring data are also used to calibrate physically-based and data-driven models to estimate past or future scenarios of soil moisture, aiming to simulate: i) water movement in soil; ii) water storage and availability; iii) conditions leading to water stress in soil; iv) conditions leading to land degradation in hillslopes vocated to agriculture; v) which agricultural practices can preserve water in soil horizons and reduce the proneness of land degradation in hillslopes. These activities are carrying out in funded projects as: ANDROMEDA (funded by Fondazione Cariplo: https://progettoandromeda.unipv.it), VIRECLI (funded by Lombardia Region: http://www.virecli.eu/), DRIVE LIFE (funded by European Union: https://www.drive-life.it/en/).
Project DescriptionMeasuring, monitoring and modeling soil moisture temporal and spatial trends at different depths in differerent land uses and agro-environments, in order to find the best agricultural practices and land covers able to: i) preserve water in soil, especially during dry and hot periods; ii) reduce the probability of occurrence of land degradation processes (e.g. rainfall-induced slope failures) in hillslopes vocated to agriculture

KeywordsHalophytes, Desalination, Sustainability, Bioeconomy
DescriptionThe Brazilian semi-arid region has more than 1,000 small water desalination units because the water underground is brackish, unsuitable for consumption. These units produce a residue consisting of water with a higher concentration of salts than treated water. Treated water is discarded in inappropriate places such as streams, sewage collection ducts or on the ground. Seen the semi-arid is a region with little water availability, the use of this waste can constitute an input in agricultural activity with an emphasis on halophytes that can provide an opportunity to carry out income generation in a poor region. Sarcocornia ambigua, the first halophyte being studied, has therapeutic properties, is edible in the form of salads or preserves and can give rise to the so-called "green salt". We seek partnerships that can transform this plant into products of added economic value and that can provide benefits to its consumers.
Project DescriptionThe project aims to reduce the impact of desalination plants operating in the Brazilian semi-arid region through the use of waste generated by these systems in the cultivation of Sarcocornia ambigua, an edible halophyte. The waste from desalination plants constitutes approximately 50% of the total desalinated water, constituting an abundant water source.
Opportunities for NetworkingIn the context of this project there are opportunities for companies that want to use the plant to produce food or medicine. Some studies show that similar halophytes are consumed naturally or in the form of preserves and are also used to produce the so-called "green salt" that can be used in food without the harmful effects of sodium chloride.

It is one of the 305 Key Biodiversity Areas in Turkey. “Key Biodiversity Area” is a term given to areas that have a special importance for the continuation of species. The lake is home to 85 bird species and is a protected area for several endangered bird species. It is also an internationally important marshy land. Burdur killifish (Aphanius sureyanus) lives exclusively in Lake Burdur across the world. Until recently, Lake Burdur was the wintering location of 70 per cent of the endangered white-headed duck (Oxyura leucocephala). Lake Burdur has lost one-third of its water in the last 35 years and 80 percent of the sources feeding its waters in the last 10 years. Our aim is to purify the lake water from pollution, to increase the entrance waters to the lake and to reveal the wrong water policy etc. We plan to do this with feasibility studies to clean the water in the house, to train the farmers, to collect rainwater in pools and to determine the water capacity.

Project DescriptionCommercial microwave links (CMLs) can be utilized as an effective opportunistic sensor network for rainfall measurement in both metropolitan and also countrywide deployments. CMLs could unintentionally measure rainfall at ground levels of the atmosphere so they act as an opportunistic distributed sensor network. This measurement seems to be a promising way to further refine existing meteorological precipitation measurement methods, especially as a suitable complement to radar measurements, since meteorological radars measure rainfall and other non-liquid precipitation in much higher altitudes typically above 1 km. CMLs can also ensure rainfall measurements in developing countries where meteorological radar infrastructure is not available and the density of the rain gauge network is sparse, since telecommunication infrastructure is in wide usage in almost every country in the world. However, there can be various inaccuracies that can be overcome by several possible methods, e.g. the effect of wet antenna attenuation (WAA). There are also possibilities of developing methods for more accurate rain distribution based on crossing of CMLs or tomographic reconstruction of rainfall field instead of simple spatial interpolation. The aim of our project is to eliminate all the inaccuracies in the process flow and introduce better spatial distribution methods, so that the results can be utilized by real meteorological national services.

Keywordswater, wastewater, energy, carbon, maintenance
DescriptionAt Samotics we use artificial intelligence to offer a predictive maintenance solution for customers who wish to both eliminate unplanned downtime and energy waste of industrial electric motors. We therefore provide two solutions: SAM4 Health, which enables customers to predict in advance when their critical assets will fail, and SAM4 Energy, which leverages the power of IoT, algorithms and industry expertise to provide real-time insights on energy usage and generate clear energy efficiency actions and reductions. We can monitor equipment that most predictive maintenance and energy solutions cannot, due to our use of Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA). ESA allows us to installs our sensors away from the asset in the safety of the motor control cabinet which means that we can monitor all submerged equipment such as borehole pumps. Our solution is currently installed on a large scale at most major UK water companies including Yorkshire Water, Anglian Water, Severn Trent and many more.
Project DescriptionWe are looking for a water utility partner who would like to test our two solutions at their drinking or waste water facilities. In order to make sure that our predictive maintenance solution can appropriately display its value, we would look to design a project of minimum 100 assets - this could be spread accross multiple sites. The project will aim to reduce the overall carbon emissions from the most electricity-hungry assets at water utilities, as well as increasing overall asset resilience as a whole.

Project DescriptionI would like to join a project on potable reuse or on wastewater. Water resources are essential for every development activity, not only in terms of available quantity but also in terms of quality. Economic and population growth as well as urbanisation are increasing the number of users and uses of water, making water resources scarcer and more polluted. Water scarcity, due to physical lack or pollution, has become one of the most pressing issues globally, a matter of human, economic and environmental insecurity, and extended droughts threaten to worsen these effects in many areas. Wastewater, whose value had not been appreciated until recently, is increasingly recognised as a potential ‘new’ source of clean water for potable and non-potable uses, resulting in social, environmental and economic benefits. The project will focus on the potential of recycled wastewater (also known as reused water) to become a significant source of safe water for drinking purposes and improved sanitation in support of the Sustainable Development Goals. It will also consider human and environmental health, and the views of the public. Potable reuse is about to become part of national policies in the United States and it has been used, both directly and indirectly, in cities in U.S.; Perth, Australia; Windhoek, Namibia; Beaufort West, South Africa; Singapore; Wulpen, Belgium; Essex, UK. The potential for Europe is enormous and should be studied as a coping strategy.

KeywordsDemonstration Site ; Red Sea ; waste management ; adaptation ; mitigation ; resilience
DescriptionWe propose Eilat (Red Sea, Israel) as a demo site to test the project’s results. The uniqueness of Eilat City lies in its ecological assets, its remoteness, the extreme desert weather conditions, and its achievements as a leader in energy efficiency - 100% of the city's daytime electricity is from renewable sources. Eilat was chosen as one of the 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission, which aimed to deliver 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030. Furthermore, we have a designated Smart City team, professionals who are dedicated to implementing innovative and sustainable solutions in the Eilat-Eilot region. We would love to "smarten" our water system and make it more resilient and efficient. Our city is already leading international water projects such as the EU-Funded Project Ô which intends to demonstrate approaches and technologies to drive an integrated and symbiotic use of water within a specific area, putting together the needs of different users and waste water producers, involving regulators, service providers, civil society, industry and agriculture. We would like to participate in the Water4All call (Topic 1 or 2) to improve our resilience, adaptation, mitigation mechanisms, or water management system.
Project DescriptionWe offer Eilat as a demonstration site for solutions to Topic 1 or Topic 2. Due to its location at the southernmost point of the Negev desert, by the Red Sea, Eilat faces extreme hot weather, regular drought, and flash floods. Thus, the municipality is looking to participate in projects that could improve our resilience, adaptation, mitigation mechanisms, or water management system.
Opportunities for NetworkingWe would be delighted to exchange with potential partners and see how we can implement their solutions to our city and monitor its results.

I hold a PhD degree in geography from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin; an MSc degree in sociology (Global Social Change programme) at the University of Edinburgh; and a BSc degree in sociology from the Middle East Technical University in Turkey. My general research interest focuses on understanding how socio-economic and socio-political constructions affect human-water relations in line with sustainability research. I explore, for instance, how and why corruption is intermingled in the water sector and why we should not narrow down the definition of sustainability in order to be integrative. recently, I explore the vanishing lakes and how water-related infrastructures in the existing socio-political and -economic environment might in the future alert us for creating alternative ways of water grabbing, especially in the so-called developing and transition countries. I use ethnographic research methods (interview, survey, participant observation, etc.) and analysis tools to collect and analyse data. I am skilled in organising fieldwork, with a team or as an individual. I have publications in high-impact international journals on topics like hydropower boom and sustainability.
Project DescriptionI would like to participate in projects where I can use my ethnographic research skills to develop a realistic water management strategy for sustainable human-environment relations, especially in so-called developing countries. My interdisciplinary background and private-sector work experience would be useful for a better understanding of hydrosocial relations.

There area in fact no legislation, comprehensive manuals , nor scientific base for a proper design of the adaptation and mitigation measures, the implementation is chaotic, random, expensive and very often ineffective. The proposed project may have the ambition to change this. But of course, we are open also for projects, focused on other research fields.

He is currently a researcher at IRTA, and he has been previously employed at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and Asiaq – Greenland Survey, among others. His main area of research focuses on the numerical modelling of global processes using climate GIS-based modelling and multiplatform satellite data to analyse extreme events, such as droughts, as well as the effects of global change on the water cycle. His multidisciplinary research experience spans a broad range of areas in Environmental geography such as quantitative remote sensing and in developing or improving methodologies for retrievals of biophysical variables by means of numerical modelling, from local to global scales, and big datasets of multiplatform and multiresolution remote sensing imagery. In parallel, he has focused on vegetation phenology/species mapping and monitoring, biomass estimation, and snow-cover mapping. Besides satellite data processing and modelling, he has extensive experience in field data collection for satellite data calibration and evaluation.
Project DescriptionWe would like to participate in a proposal that will develop an integrated and dynamic support system for water resources management that will facilitate the implementation of local strategies to increase the resilience of Mediterranean basins with agricultural uses to, climate projections on water scarcity and extreme weather events. In particular, we would be interested in the following goals: 1. To improve the efficiency of water distribution and use in agriculture to optimize the water stored in aquifers. 2. To strengthen the skills of all the actors involved in the efficient use of water in agriculture and prepare them for innovative approaches to deal with rigorous scenarios of water scarcity. 4. To integrate quantitative data in the calculation of the surface water balance to improve groundwater, reservoir management and water supply estimates. To do that we do field work in agricultural and forest areas, we acquire thermal and multispectral drone and we process satellite data focused on evapotranspiration retrieval and we evaluate our results using Eddy-Covariance data (we manage one flux tower over and agricultural area) and two weighting lysimeters in which we can induce water stress.

Project DescriptionThe goal of this project is to demonstrate that adding soil metabolomics techniques to conventional methods of soil analysis will improve the understanding of the evolution of aridity. This approach will help quantify the capacity of forest islands to buffer the progression of aridity toward field cultures and will provide means of sequestering water in land ecosystems Our team will coordinate the project, perform analyses of functional metabolomics of interstitial water in soil (i.e. community level exo-enzymatic activities), and aid with data integration into specialized networks. We hypothesize that: 1) Exoenzyme multi-tests will be a good tool for functional metabolomics of soil. 2) Specific fingerprints will occur in the composition of soil organics in response to biased enzymatic activities. 3) A combination of classical soil analyses, climate and metabolomics will better describe the interaction between forest islands and progressive aridity. Project beneficial outcomes are: - Standard protocols to monitor the benefits of forest islands on metabolic rates in soil; - Making functional metabolomics data on soil compatible with existing databases for monitoring the progression of aridity in Europe; - Produce a proof of concept soil analysis automated station to monitor progressing aridity; - Help adapt the management of forest islands to the current rate of aridity progression. - Cool off the local microclimate near forest islands and sequester water in soil.

DescriptionMy group has developed a discrete optimization model to help with the planning of optimal precautionary measures that reduce the damage to buildings in case of heavy rain events (see https://cnw.cs.tum.de/akut/?lang=en for details about the corresponding project). Our mixed-integer programming model has been implemented as an innovative decision support tool in the form of a web application, which has already been used by more than~25 engineering offices, municipalities, universities, and other institutions. The model aims to minimize the damage caused in the case of a heavy rain event by taking best-possible actions subject to a limited budget and constraints on the cooperation of residents. It uses graph algorithms to model the underlying terrain and to compute high-quality initial solutions.
Project DescriptionI would be interested in projects that need expertise in (discrete) mathematical optimization and/or graph algorithms in the context of flood mitigation or related topics. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you want to discuss a possible project idea!

DescriptionProjects that need Traceability solutions that have low cost and high scalability, to guarantee the authenticity of the data of their solutions.
Project DescriptionThe APLET (Autonomous Provenance and Lifecycle Event Tracking) solution is an innovation in blockchain. It is a new type of DLT, developed by us from scratch, based on microledgers, that guarantee the integrity and non-repudiation of the information of the recorded events, also implemented in a peer-to-peer network. This approach offers a new method of using blockchain by introducing significant changes to the information replication process in Web3, providing greater scalability, elasticity, and resiliency compared to current blockchain networks. APLET is infinitely more sustainable than current solutions since it dispenses with the need for consensus and ordering of transactions that is required in currently implemented blockchain platforms, thus avoiding replicating information throughout the network. with the energy expenditure that this entails, but maintaining its immutability. Another advantage of the APLET network is that it does not need cryptocurrencies, so the transactions do not have an economic cost and it is very appropriate for traceability networks.

Keywordstoxicology, water, aquatic organisms, risk assessment, microbial monitoring
DescriptionHydro-climatic extreme events, especially floods possess a complex (chemical, microbial and toxicological) risk threatening the quality of drinking water, recreational water and irrigation water supplies. In water management, there is an increasing demand for rapid methods to analyse the complexity of this type of contamination and evaluate its effect on aquatic organisms. The Institute of Aquaculture and Environmental Safety (MATE) provides a complex set of processes applicable for the simultaneous analysis of chemical biological and toxicological parameters in water samples. Using data obtained from monitoring and laboratory analysis, a complex human and ecological risk assessment can be performed.
Project DescriptionOur research activities include spatiotemporal and biogeochemical monitoring of surface- and groundwaters as well as the laboratory analysis of environmental samples which include the long-term monitoring, analysis, and risk assessment of chemicals, microbial parameters, and microplastics. Complex ecotoxicological assessments (acute and chronic cytotoxicity, endocrine-disrupting effects) and bacterial biodetoxification of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and their mixtures are also part of our research profile. We apply in vivo and in vitro zebrafish tests (e.g., early life stage or two-generation toxicity tests) in addition to Daphnia and algae tests, according to GLP or ISO standards. With our proprietary bioindicator zebrafish line (Tg(vtg1.mCherry), the estrogenic effect of environmental samples can be determined. Additionally, the department can conduct Vibrio fischeri tests for the environmental monitoring of water, colorimetric SOS Chromotest for genotoxicity assessment, and the BLYES/BLYAS/BLYR method for monitoring endocrine disruptors. Using these methods, we are able to evaluate the toxicological effects or conduct risk assessments of newly developed products, methods, and processes.
Opportunities for NetworkingThe Department is actively involved in European joint programmes. We are open to collaboration in research and innovation actions, training programmes, or educational cooperation. Moreover, open for tenders and contract-based works as well.
