WATERCARE

Water management solutions for reducing microbial environmental impact in coastal areas

WATERCARE aims to improve bathing water quality by reducing microbial contamination and using innovative tools for wastewater management and treatment. WATERCARE will develop an innovative integrated water quality system (WQls) consisting of a real-time measurement system and a hydrometeorological monitoring network; implement an ad hoc infrastructure for bathing water management at a pilot site through a predictive operating model; and feasibility studies at 4 other sites to improve planning and management of environmental issues in the marine system. In addition, a real-time warning system will be developed that can preemptively identify potential ecological risk from focal contamination of bathing waters and support governance decision-making processes in bathing water management.

Research Projects



Research Projects

The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
