Descrizione del progetto
Sfruttare l’osservazione terrestre e la modellazione idro-ecologica per fornire servizi di previsione idrica avanzati
Il progetto PrimeWater, finanziato dall’UE, fornirà solidi prodotti di osservazione terrestre e servizi trasversali per previsioni operative di estremi idrologici e proliferazione di alghe nocive in laghi e serbatoi. Con l’obiettivo di migliorare la capacità di previsione, PrimeWater impiegherà algoritmi innovativi di apprendimento automatico e tecniche di assimilazione dei dati avanzate per integrare la spettrometria di imaging satellitare nella catena di modellazione. Fornendo maggiori capacità di previsione, PrimeWater consente ai responsabili della gestione idrica di ottimizzare i servizi idrici a valle e prepararsi meglio contro i prossimi cambiamenti critici relativi a quantità e qualità dell’acqua.
Obiettivo
PrimeWater aims to maximize the potential of the Earth Observation (EO) technologies for the water sector by enhancing and expanding the information base for inland water quality attributes, through advanced physics-based algorithms that integrate multi- and hyper-spectral imagery from satellite, airborne and ground-based sensors, increasing the situational intelligence of water regulators, emergency planners, water-related industry professionals and local communities.
PrimeWater aspires to further add value to EO data and other Copernicus sectoral services through cross-cutting research with Data Assimilation (DA) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques aiming at improving the skill of hydro-ecological forecasts and their related impact at different spatial scales and time horizons, and hence improve preparedness against water hazards and enhance the capacity of decision-making through uncertainty information.
PrimeWater will establish a complete value chain linking science with the water business sector, ensuring the co-development of products and services through continuous and efficient interaction and communication with water professionals across the globe and in-depth analysis of the intrinsic barriers for the wide market uptake of EO-enabled services in the water sector. As a result PrimeWater will deliver water intelligent services that capitalize on advanced EO data products and intersections with other data sources, will build on cause-effect analyses through diagnostic modelling tools, and will utilize predictive and prescriptive calculations by integrating forecasting capabilities with planning and scenario analysis.
