Effective monitoring and modelling solutions for data-driven holistic management of urban water quality
URBANM2O at a glance
Meeting the EU’s ambitious Zero Pollution goals requires a massive amount of data to effectively manage urban water quality.
Cities face growing threats from a wide range of contaminants (like chemicals and microplastics), multiple pollution sources, climate change, and ageing infrastructure.
Current water quality monitoring methods are often too costly, slow, and lack the detail needed to support effective, city-wide management.
Critical water data is often fragmented across different systems and organizations, preventing a holistic and integrated approach to pollution control.
