UNIVERSWATER

Project Info

Rising pressures on water quality and quantity due to agricultural activities pose critical challenges, exacerbated by climate change impacts. Nutrient and pesticide runoffs, alongside overexploitation of natural water sources, threaten ecosystems and human health. The EU-funded UNIVERSWATER project brings together a consortium of 15 partners across six European countries. By integrating innovative portable sensors, earth observation imaging, and advanced AI, the project will improve water resource use and enhance on-farm treatment of dairy soiled water, mitigate soil salinisation, and optimise fertiliser/pesticide application. This initiative aims to revolutionise agri-water management, paving the way for smarter, more efficient water resource use and environmental stewardship.
