Deployment of the monitoring and control system in real locations

After the deployment and commissioning of the monitoring and control system, the locations/balconies will become the pilots of the project, where the data captured by the thermal water quality control system will be collected and analysed. These pilots will allow to evaluate the effectiveness of the system in real time and its ability to guarantee water quality in various thermal environments. The results obtained from these pilots will provide nexcessary information for the future implementation of the system in other spas within the Interreg SUDOE territory. Institute of Thermalism of the University of Bordeaux, a pilot in Portugal associated with the thermal pool of associate Gestão de Equipamentos do Município de Chaves, E.M., S.A., a pilot in the pool of the Hervideros de Cofrentes spa, a Pilot will unfold in the thermal pool of the Balneario El Raposo, a pilot will be developed by the associate Caldaria Termal SLU in the Spa of Laias and two pilots in resorts of France to define by HERE O Thermes, thermal cluster Nouvelle-Aquitaine, adding a total of 6 pilots

Master Plan for the Substitution of Conventional Resources by NCA Resources

The objective of this pilot activity is to test the applicability of the TARGET strategy to the Dordogne river basin (A.1.5). The test procedures and methodologies will have been prepared in advance by CESEEAP. It will be implemented in accordance with the 4 pillars of the Strategy and respecting its 3 principles. It will allow for the implementation, after critical analysis and adaptation, of solutions tested by project partners and associated partners, in other contexts, at river basin level (in particular CEREMA’s “Resilience Compass” and ECF multi-criteria mapping analysis). The action will lead to the development of a master plan for the sustainable management of the water resources of the Dordogne basin, which will make it possible to replace the fragile water resources of the basin with unconventional water resources (regenerated waters, rainwater, grey water). This master plan will indicate, for each sector and use of the Dordogne river basin, the appropriateness of using non-conventional waters and, if so, the means to be applied (agents, techniques and financing). Following the evaluation of the implementation of the pilot action by CESEEAP, a methodological guide for the implementation of the TARGET strategy at river basin level will be developed. It will contain the tools and methods for the application of the principles (efficient use, RANC, innovation) and pillars of the Strategy (current situation, consultation, forecasting, action plan) at basin level. This guide will be used later by AMAYA and its partner JUNTA DE ANDALUCIA in an Andalusian river basin. The master plan will be adopted by EPIDOR’s governing bodies and feedback sessions on the approved TARGET strategy and evaluation of the pilot action will be organised, in particular with the partner ANEB.

Scenarios and action programme for the optimisation of water management at the local level

The objective of this pilot activity is to test the applicability of the TARGET Strategy method at local level, in the municipalities of Granollers and Barreiro. The test procedures and methodologies will have been prepared in advance by CESEEAP. It will be implemented in accordance with the 4 pillars of the Strategy and in compliance with its 3 principles. It will allow solutions tested by project partners and associated partners to be implemented, after critical analysis and adaptation, in other contexts, at the level of local authorities (in particular work on nature-based solutions of AMAYA and ECF). The action will culminate in the development of an action programme for the optimisation of Reut in Granollers and prospective scenarios for water management in Barreiro. The program will allow, for each sector and use in the municipality of Granollers, to indicate whether it is necessary to optimise the RANCs and the resources to be deployed (actors, techniques and financing). The prospective scenarios studied for water management in Barreiro will expose the advantages and disadvantages of ENCs for the preservation of the resource and the environment. Once the implementation of the pilot action has been assessed by the CESEEAP, a methodological guide for the implementation of the TARGET strategy at local level will be developed. It will contain the tools and methods for applying the principles (efficient use, RANC, innovation) and pillars of the Strategy (current situation, consultation, forecasting, action plan) at local level. The action programme will be adopted by the Granollers authorities, and a forward-looking scenario will be adopted by the Barreiro authorities. Sessions will then be organised to present the approved TARGET strategy and feedback on the pilot action.

Demonstrators for the reuse of water with SBN in the water treatment chain

3 demonstrators created during the project in France, Spain and Portugal. These sites will be the result of the NB-Woll (Water-Oriented Living Labs) strategy aimed at finding the best combination of demand and innovation with the help of 3 Woll (platform). Its design will be based on water demand (quality/quantity), context (uses, locations, stakeholder sensitivity) and regulations. These demonstrators will be adopted by the 3 local authorities responsible for public procurement.

Pilot actions

The GT2 contains the demonstration of 3 pilot actions (in large blocks, although they would be more considering the small variations) that implement new devices and offer new services in different areas of the SUDOE. All of them have an experimental and demonstrative character. Its monitoring (A.2.4) will make it possible to test, evaluate and demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of its application. The results and practices of these pilot actions will be exploited and transferred to other institutions and territories through A.2.5. Collaboration between all partners will be indispensable, enabling pilot actions to be jointly developed and operated in different countries. All of them will be completed during the implementation of the project sufficiently in advance to allow the exploitation and evaluation of the demonstrative character during the project.

Pilot Activities Use of Reclaimed Water in Irrigation

Implementation of two pilot actions in woody and horticultural crops, with 13 and 2 experiences respectively, in which to evaluate the effects of the use of regenerated water in irrigation, represent a basic tool for the implementation of technological solutions that facilitate the management of irrigation water (conventional and regenerated sources) through the digitisation of irrigation, providing starting information and tools for the end user, transferable to other crops and socio-economic and cultural situations. The good management of regenerated water in the crops is ensured by the implementation of a DSS of crop fertigation (GT3), based on the analyses (soil, water, plant tissues) and the information of the low-cost sensoric installed in each experience.

Testing of pilot solutions for adaptation, prevention and mitigation

Under the An-Gel Sudoe project, 8 pilot areas have been selected: Lleida, Lot-et-Garonne, Bordeaux, Dordogne (x2), Rioja Alavesa, Murcia and Braganza. In each of these areas, work will be carried out in collaboration with a group of associated producers, either using farms under real production conditions or involving them in the technical follow-up of the tests. The prevention, adaptation and mitigation techniques to be tested will be (activities 2.1 and 2.2): — High precision foliar spraying (active solution). — Active ventilation (active solution). — Soil moisture management (semi-passive solution, linked to high-precision spraying, but strategically applied in a preventive and non-reactive manner). — Soil cover management — Hot hedges (passive solution). — Convective drainage of cold air — Late pruning of vines to delay the appearance of frost (solution intended to minimise the destructive effects of frost). The final solution will be the use of one of these techniques or a possible combination of several of them to adapt perfectly to the constraints of farmers in a given area. For example, a cold-breaker hedge can be used to limit the flow of cold air in the plot (passive solution), combined with controlling soil moisture by influencing the vegetation cover or by high-precision spraying (in the foliage) a few days before frost (semi-passive solution) or, if necessary, during intense frost episodes (active solution), if water resources are available. Therefore, it is considered a single solution, as it is conceived as a “toolbox” that allows combining different techniques to offer effective solutions according to the particular context of the different farms participating in the project as pilot centres.

Collection and planting of herbaceous, wild and native seeds

The pilot actions will consist of the collection of seeds from native wild herbaceous plants (such as isolated species or mixtures) from harvesting grasslands of ecological interest previously identified by the partners. These collections may or may not be followed by an intermediate stage of multiplication, after which the seeds will be planted in objective plots of high biodiversity value, located in the vicinity (or, in any case, in the same biogeographical zone) for the purpose of ecological restoration. These pilot projects are innovative at various levels. First, we will work with species that are not, or are not widely available, at first. There is little to no reference to the methods of harvesting the mixtures (brushing, harvesting, hay transfer, manual harvesting) and to the methods used to grow these seeds, so our experiments will generate new knowledge. Within the framework of the Flore project, at least 4 different methods (hence the target value of this indicator) will be tested, but in each country several pilot ecological restoration sites will be created, allowing the diversification of climate and soil methods and contexts. This network of experimental sites will also be a support for the transfer of knowledge, both for the beneficiary partners of the project (through study trips) and for all interested economic operators, with the organisation of technical days. This demonstration value will be maintained in the long term, as pilot site managers will commit to ensuring the sustainability of the facilities, in particular by adopting the recommended sustainable management methods.

Early warning system

The early warning system will make it possible to anticipate spring frost situations so that active means can be prepared to complement passive and semi-passive solutions, which are of a continuous nature. The system will combine models weather forecast numbers (NPM) with high-precision soil temperature maps developed from local time series. This methodology allows to perform a downscaling process from local information to reach a very high level of accuracy (individual plot level or hyperlocal scale). The system will be highly oriented to provide an easy-to-interpret mobile version in the field, including a system dissemination module for sending alerts via email, SMS and mobile notifications. This system will be integrated as part of the ClimAlert platform, enriching its spectrum of information and attracting new users.
