The launch meeting for I-ReWater took place between 19 and 21 February. This project will work to improve water resource management in agriculture by integrating the use of reclaimed urban water in agricultural crops between 2024 and 2026. This initiative seeks to promote more sustainable water management that is adapted to the challenges of climate change, always taking into account the environmental aspects necessary to ensure responsible use of this resource.
The consortium is made up of 16 leading entities from the Sudoe area —which includes the Iberian Peninsula, the Principality of Andorra and the south of France— and is coordinated by Javier J. Cancela, professor at the EPS School of Engineering and researcher at the PROePLA group at the USC.
The project will culminate in the presentation of the Strategy for the Use of Regenerated Water in Irrigation for the SUDOE area, and will make available to all interested parties a free-access knowledge hub with the main results obtained.
