WATERVERSE

The WATERVERSE project develops a Water Data Management Ecosystem (WDME) for making data management practices and resources in the water sector accessible, affordable, secure, fair, and easy to use.

This will improve usability of data and the interoperability of data-intensive processes, thus lowering the entry barrier to data spaces, enhancing the resilience of water utilities and boosting the perceived value of data and therefore the market opportunities behind it.

WATERVERSE will be demonstrated in 6 countries (Cyprus, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland and United Kingdom), setting clear and measurable indicators for assessing fairness of data in water-related data spaces while ensuring the viability and sustainability of the ecosystem, as well as its replicability, scalability and business applicability.

Eurecat participates in the WATERVERSE project through its Applied Artificial Intelligence Unit, which will be focused on data exploration, the navigation tool and the water ontology catalogue.

WATERVERSE takes a holistic approach in the water domain, blending together competencies of 17 partners from 10 European countries, including research organisations, water utilities, water domain technology providers and innovation companies.
