tracking and assessing the risk from antibiotic resistant genes using chip technology in surface wat
No full textGiven the serious public health threat posed by antimicrobial resistance, it is important to investigate the potential role of surface water in amplifying the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance and to assess the potential associated risk to human health.
Research into the occurrence, fate, effect, and risk associated with the presence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria in such environments and the impact on human health is urgently needed for informed policy decisions.
TRACE will develop detection technologies that allow for a simpler on-site detection of antibiotic resistance, thereby enabling a much higher throughput and faster result-to-user turnaround.
This will allow for an increasing number of measuring points, as well as a higher frequency of measurements.
Extending this instrumental development for water system characterization, also fast and robust on-site tests will be developed in order to enable simple and timely testing. Despite current advances in the field of detection and portability, there is still a huge gap between bench and location when application and validation of these systems are concerned
waterfarming improvement of water and nutrient retention and use efficiency in arablefarming systems
No full textWaterFARMING goal is to enhance the water and nutrient retention capacity and improve use efficiency (Challenge 1) in diverse arable production systems across Europe and N. Africa, to seek means to reduce soil and water pollution (Challenge 2) for sustainable management of water resources (Challenge 3).

inxces innnovations for extreme climatic events
No full textThe main objectives of INXCES are: (1) development of innovative methods for risk assessment, (2) mitigation methods for extreme hydroclimatic events, (3) optimization of ecosystem services of the mitigation methods. It is widely acknowledged that extreme events such as floods and droughts are an increasing challenge, particularly in urban areas. The frequency and intensity of floods and droughts pose challenges for economic and social development, negatively affecting the quality of life of urban populations.

domino dikes and debris flows monitoring by novel optical fiber sensors
No full text
Floods are among the most disruptive natural events threatening our Society. Just in Europe and in the last decade, floods have killed more than 1000 people and caused damages exceeding 4.5 billion Euros. Due to the foreseen increase in extreme weather events and to the rapid socio-economic developments in vulnerable locations, the water related hazards, such as dike failures and debris flows, are growing rapidly.

low cost water desalination and sensor technology compact module
No full textThe main aim of DESERT project is to create an innovative concept as a smart system combining sustainable technology on water treatment and water quality sensors, tuned to the local situation (climate, water sources, cropping system, grower’s economic potential and regulatory conditions).
Irrigated agriculture is the primary user of water in Europe and is a very competitive economic sector of the European Union. [More](http://www.waterjpi.eu/joint-calls/joint-call-2015/desert
potential variable rate irrigation and nitrogen fertilization in potato engage the spatial variation
No full textWith a total acreage of more than 5 200 km² in all four countries, potato is an important agricultural crop in Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands and Germany. In the participating countries percolation water contains NO3--concentrations higher than 25 mg/l so they have a common interest in reducing N-leaching and increasing the water use efficiency by irrigation in potato fields. It is expected that irrigation in potato will be crucial in the future to maintain stable yields as scenarios predict an increased occurrence of climatic extremes.

prognos predicting in lake responses to change using near real time models
No full textLakes and reservoirs are under continuous pressure from urbanization and agricultural intensification, and from changes in climate, including an increasing occurrence of extreme climatic events. These pressures can reduce water quality by promoting the occurrence of nuisance algal blooms and higher levels of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), two issues that can substantially increase the costs for water treatment. To monitor such changes in water quality, automated high frequency (HF) monitoring systems are increasingly being adopted for lake and reservoir management across Europe. These HF data are mostly used to provide near real time (NRT) information on the present lake state. An even more valuable tool for water management, however, would be to use HF data to run computer models that forecast the probability of a change in lake state in the coming weeks or months. In PROGNOS, we will develop an integrated approach that couples HF lake monitoring data to dynamic water quality models to forecast short-term changes in lake water quality.

opera operationalizing the increase of water use efficiency and resilience in irrigation
Full text linkAgriculture is confronted with changing weather patterns. For farmers this implies higher risks related to crop growth and field work conditions. Adequate, timely and spatially differentiated measurements of soil moisture become more important for farmers to make decisions on if, when and how to irrigate. The project will focus on combatting water shortage at the farm scale and territory level by developing applicable service models for decision support in irrigation. Worldwide significant progress has been made to utilize precision irrigation as means to increase water use efficiency (more crop per drop) or decrease water foot print in irrigated agriculture.

watintech smart decentralized water management through a dynamic integration of tecnologies
No full textThe WATINTECH project proposes a combination of concepts of sewer mining with urban run-off treatment in decentralized treatment facilities to enhance the recovery of valuable resources including water, methane (heat, energy) and value-added chemicals, either extracting or producing them from the fluxes inside a sewage pipe.
