Improvement of the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).
The ACQUAOUNT project enhances sustainable irrigation through the deployment of state-of-the-art tools, smart water services and solutions, for public and private use, while contributing to climate resilience.
ACQUAOUNT develops a suite of innovative solutions covering monitoring and control, interoperability and standardisation, efficient operation and recommendations for water and production and smart visualisation and data exploration.
The combination of these tools will permit to simulate complex interactions and feedbacks across several time horizons and multiple related environmental and socio-economic dimensions, leading to policy recommendations and climate change adaptation strategies.
All these innovations will be demonstrated at large scale in basins of four Mediterranean countries (Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, and Tunisia) where water efficiency is a must to cope with water scarcity and climate change.
Eurecat participates in the ACQUAOUNT project through its Applied Artificial Intelligence (AAI) Unit and its Consultancy Department, in charge of developing a cost-benefit analysis on the monetary effects of the innovative tools.
