Convocatoria proyecto 27: 1st call

Andalusia faces increasingly frequent and prolonged droughts, which requires rethinking irrigation water management under criteria of efficiency, planning, and digitalization—especially in the Guadalquivir basin, where most Andalusian irrigation is concentrated. The document analyzes the institutional and legal framework, special drought plans, and a broad range of technical and digital solutions to help irrigation communities and farms reduce water use without losing economic viability.

The document shows how Alentejo is strengthening drought management by combining hydrological planning, irrigation modernization, and a strong commitment to digital tools to monitor, plan, and optimize irrigation management. It is particularly addressed to hydro-agricultural schemes and farms that need to adapt to a climate change context with less rainfall, higher temperatures, and increasingly frequent and intense droughts.

Drought is a recurring phenomenon that affects Catalonia, altering the water cycle and conditioning both natural and human uses. The severity of drought depends not only on its duration and intensity but also on the vulnerability of the affected systems, particularly the agricultural sector, which is one of the main water consumers in the region.

The textile and fashion industry in the SUDOE region (Spain, Portugal, and southern France) faces the challenge of adapting to the European Green Deal’s requirements, with a strong focus on sustainability and circular economy. The report “Territorial Mapping of Available Technologies”, part of the Fashion Forward project, provides an analysis of current and future technology adoption in the sector.
