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

Climate change, overexploitation of aquifers and high demand, among other factors, have made reclaimed water a key asset in water resource management and in the circular economy model. I-ReWater will validate its use in irrigated agriculture, helping to promote greater sustainability of the entire water cycle and water resilience in Europe. It would even reduce the use of inputs (fertilisers) as reclaimed water has a high content of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Thirteen trials are being carried out simultaneously on woody crops (olive trees, vines, hops and almond trees) and two on horticultural crops (industrial tomatoes and watermelons), with analysis of the results at all levels: agronomic, social and environmental.

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.

Los 3 casos piloto

Al menos 3 casos piloto (1 por país) actúan como laboratorios vivos, ofreciendo lecciones concretas y permitiendo que el Sistema de apoyo a la decisión (DSS) sea probado, enriquecido con retroalimentación y nuevos conocimientos. Estos casos piloto no sólo proporcionan datos prácticos, sino que también ayudan a fortalecer las habilidades estratégicas y operativas de los administradores de las ciudades termales. La retroalimentación obtenida facilita la optimización de las infraestructuras vinculadas al agua termal, así como la implementación de medidas efectivas de adaptación al cambio climático. Este enfoque práctico tiene como objetivo promover el beneficio económico tanto para los operadores, como para los responsables políticos, consolidando así la gestión sostenible del agua termal en los territorios termales del SUDOE. Estos 3 casos piloto son iniciativas concretas que buscan probar y demostrar las soluciones innovadoras desarrolladas para la gestión sostenible de las fuentes termales. El objetivo es poner en práctica los conocimientos adquiridos, recopilar datos tangibles, y generar lecciones valiosas que alimenten el proceso de adaptación al cambio climático. Estas acciones piloto representan etapas cruciales en la transformación de conceptos teóricos en soluciones operativas, contribuyendo así a la consecución de los objetivos del proyecto.
