GROW Observatory (GROW)
Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2019,
The GROW Observatory (GROW) will create a sustainable citizen platform and community to generate, share and utilise information on land, soil and water resource at a resolution hitherto not previously considered. The vision is to underpin smart and sustainable custodianship of land and soil, whilst meeting the demands of food production, and to answer a long-standing challenge for space science, n ...

Ground Truth 2.0 - Environmental knowledge discovery of human sensed data (Ground Truth 2.0)
Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2019,
Ground Truth 2.0 delivers the demonstration and validation of six scaled up citizen observatories in real operational conditions both in the EU and in Africa. It will strengthen the full feedback-loop in the information chain from citizen-based data collection to knowledge sharing for joint decision-making and cooperative planning. The project focuses on environmental indicators in urban and rural ...

Preparing for Extreme And Rare events in coastaL regions (PEARL)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
"Coastal floods are one of the most dangerous and harmful natural hazards affecting urban areas adjacent to shorelines. Rapid urbanisation combined with climate change and poor governance means a significant increase in the risk of local surface flooding coinciding with high water levels in rivers and high tide or storm surges from the sea, posing a greater risk of devastation to coastal communiti ...

WATER AND ENERGY ADVANCED MANAGEMENT FOR IRRIGATION (WEAM4I)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,
Agriculture sector is accountable for 30% of the total water consumption in Europe, but reaches up to 70% of total water consumption in several European southern countries. In recent years, most of the efforts have been focused on water efficiency, without taking care of energy aspects, resulting in some cases on a significant increase in energy consumption, both per irrigated surface and per volu ...

Flexible and PrecIse IrriGation PlAtform to Improve FaRm Scale Water PrOductivity (FIGARO)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
The objective of the FIGARO project is to significantly reduce the use of fresh water on farm level through developing a cost-effective, precision irrigation management platform. The platform will be structured for data acquisition from monitoring devices and forecasting tools, data interpretation, system control, and evaluation mechanisms enabling full decision support for end users at farm scale ...

WeSenseIT: Citizen Observatory of Water (WESENSEIT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
..., experiment and demonstrate the citizen observatory of water in three different case studies in water management with civil protection agencies in UK, NL and Italy. The topic is the entire hydrologic cycle with a major focus on variables responsible for floods and drought occurrences.The project results have the potential to fundamentally change the traditional concept of environmental monitoring ...

Merging Hydrologic models and EO data for reliable information on Water (MyWater)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
In the entire world we are experiencing changing water resources needs mainly as a result of changes in land use. In developing countries the occupation of natural areas by agriculture is a major cause; economical reasons pushed by world globalization play also a major role. In both cases further global changes are expected as a result of climate change.Water availability is essential for socio-ec ...
