Integrated, Scalable Water Resilience through Smart Monitoring, Nature-Based Solutions, and Cross-Sectoral Planning

Climate change and rapid urbanization significantly increase the frequency and intensity of surface runoff and flash flooding, particularly in vulnerable urban and peri-urban areas. These phenomena not only pose direct threats to public safety and disrupt communities, but also damage critical infrastructure, including roads, water systems, and energy utilities.  

In response, this project proposes an integrated, data-driven water management system to mitigate flood and drought risks, enhance aquifer recharge, improve water quality, and restore ecosystem resilience across urbanized catchments in the EU and Mediterranean regions.
