Ground Truth 2.0 - Environmental knowledge discovery of human sensed data (Ground Truth 2.0)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2019,
Ground Truth 2.0 delivers the demonstration and validation of six scaled up citizen observatories in real operational conditions both in the EU and in Africa. It will strengthen the full feedback-loop in the information chain from citizen-based data collection to knowledge sharing for joint decision-making and cooperative planning. The project focuses on environmental indicators in urban and rural ...

Preparing for Extreme And Rare events in coastaL regions (PEARL)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
"Coastal floods are one of the most dangerous and harmful natural hazards affecting urban areas adjacent to shorelines. Rapid urbanisation combined with climate change and poor governance means a significant increase in the risk of local surface flooding coinciding with high water levels in rivers and high tide or storm surges from the sea, posing a greater risk of devastation to coastal communiti ...

WATER AND ENERGY ADVANCED MANAGEMENT FOR IRRIGATION (WEAM4I)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2017,
Agriculture sector is accountable for 30% of the total water consumption in Europe, but reaches up to 70% of total water consumption in several European southern countries. In recent years, most of the efforts have been focused on water efficiency, without taking care of energy aspects, resulting in some cases on a significant increase in energy consumption, both per irrigated surface and per volu ...

Merging Hydrologic models and EO data for reliable information on Water (MyWater)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
In the entire world we are experiencing changing water resources needs mainly as a result of changes in land use. In developing countries the occupation of natural areas by agriculture is a major cause; economical reasons pushed by world globalization play also a major role. In both cases further global changes are expected as a result of climate change.Water availability is essential for socio-ec ...
