THE CUSTOMISATION/PRE-OPERATIONALISATION OF WATER MANAGEMENT INNOVATIONS FROM SPACE FOR EUROPEAN CLIMATE RESILIENCE

Project description

Earth observation for water management

PCP-WISE aims to customise water management innovations from space for European climate resilience, using pre-commercial procurement (PCP) per EAFIP methodology to reach TRL 8. Running from January 2025 to December 2027, it includes solution design, lab prototype development/testing and field validation by end-users. The main challenge is developing innovative water intelligence systems beyond current technology for climate adaptation. Addressing Europe's fragmented water management, the EU-funded PCP-WISE will integrate Earth Observation (EO) data, in-situ measurements and hydrological models into one system, providing real-time insights for decision-making. This enhances public authorities' ability to manage water resources efficiently and respond to climate crises for greater climate resilience through EO-based information and alignment among regional water management across EU borders and shared river basins.

Objective

PCP-WISE aims to customize/pre-operationalize water management innovations from space for European climate resilience via pre-commercial procurement (PCP). The project, spanning phases from solution design to field validation, targets TRL 8. It addresses water-related crises (floods, fires, infrastructure impacts) using space and Earth Observation data. Objectives include common operational information products, interoperability mechanisms, and an active user network. With climate change impacting water availability and distribution, PCP-WISE seeks to enhance EO-based information for better regional water management, promoting resilience across EU borders. It focuses on local dynamics in water availability and aims to anticipate extreme climate conditions through an integrated water intelligence system. The project's significance lies in its potential to mitigate water-related crises, driven by a unified water taxonomy and Earth observation-based modeling. Through comprehensive research and development solutions, PCP-WISE aims to boost adaptation across the EU, targeting stakeholders in water management, environment, first responders, cities, and agriculture. The project's objectives are designed to adress business, technical, economic, and policy goals. Key results include capacity-building efforts, climate-related inputs, stakeholder engagement, and the dissemination of innovative solutions to advance water resilience both locally and globally.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.
This project's classification has been validated by the project's team.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
