Andalusian blue carbon for climate change mitigation: quantification and valorization mechanisms (LIFE Blue Natura)
Date du début: 1 août 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2019,
Background
Certain coastal habitats such as marshes and seagrass meadows, including Neptune grass (Posidonia oceanica) meadows, are significant carbon sinks, both in terms of the intensity of gas sequestration and carbon deposits that are stored for thousands of years. Despite the importance of this, and other ecosystem services, these habitats are disapp ...

Efficient Integrated Real-time Control in Urban Drainage and Wastewater Treatment Plants for Environmental Protection (LIFE EFFIDRAIN)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2015, Date de fin: 29 mars 2019,
Background
Combined Urban Drainage Networks (UDNs) collect and convey both wastewater and storm water. This mixed water is sent to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) before being released to the environment. During heavy-rain events, UDN and WWTP capacities can be easily exceeded, causing untreated water discharges, known as combined sewer overflows (CSO ...

Synergic TPAD and O3 process in WWTPs for Resoruce Efficient waste management (LIFE STO3RE)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
Background
Pollution from agriculture is a major pressure on Europeâs freshwater resources. Nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) from fertilisers, pesticides, organic material, pathogenic micro-organisms in sediment and micropollutants are washed into waterways. This is especially the case in areas with intense rainfall and poorly drained soils. In some ...

Mise en place de une méthodologie capable de prévoir les meilleurs emplacements pour l\'exploitation des eaux souterraines dans le territoire SUDOE (ATTENAGUA)
Date du début: 30 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 30 déc. 2014,
Le captage d'eau - historiquement canalisé à partir des eaux souterraines - a été progressivement transféré vers les eaux de surface pour remédier à des problèmes de quantité et/ou de qualité de l'eau. Or, l'eau des rivières est soumise aux effets directs des polluants d'origine ponctuelle et diffuse (agriculture, industrie), ce qui contraint les autorités responsables à engager des dépenses élevé ...
