MARCLAIMED to be featured at Water Projects Europe 2025: Advancing Alternative Water Resources and Circular Solutions
MARCLAIMED is participating in the upcoming Water Projects Europe – From Alternative Water to Circular Solutions, taking place on 3 December 2025 (9:00–12:30) at Thon Hotel EU, Brussels. Held within the framework of Water Knowledge Europe, this edition will unite leading EU-funded water innovation projects to explore how Europe can strengthen resilience and accelerate its transition toward a circular and [...]
MARCLAIMED Releases Official Video Showcasing Innovative Water Solutions for a Drought-Resilient Europe
As Europe faces mounting challenges from water scarcity and drought, the EU-funded MARCLAIMED project has launched its official video, introducing how it is pioneering new ways to secure sustainable water resources across the continent. The video highlights MARCLAIMED’s integrated approach, which combines two resilient solutions — Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) and Alternative Water Resources (AWR) — to address water stress [...]
How digital twins are being used in MARCLAIMED to monitor and optimise water management strategies
The MARCLAIMED project creates an integrated decision‑support environment built around a high‑fidelity digital twin of river‑basin and aquifer systems. Real‑time sensor feeds, including hydrological, meteorological, water‑quality and infrastructure data, are exchanged using the NGSI‑LD standard and are coupled with physics‑based hydraulic models, producing a continuously updated virtual replica of the water network across the three demonstration sites in Portugal, Spain [...]
