The IDEATION project is proud to introduce OpenKIWAS, the Open Knowledge Inventory for Inland Water Systems.

OpenKIWAS is a strategic resource designed to power the next generation of Digital Twin applications. Managing inland waters effectively requires more than just data; it requires a unified ecosystem of knowledge. OpenKIWAS bridges this gap by centralising critical resources into one accessible, interoperable hub.

What’s inside OpenKIWAS?
The platform organises complex information into six essential pillars:

• Policies and Regulations: European and international standards.
• European Funded Projects: Outcomes and synergies from across the EU.
• Scientific Results: The latest research and publications.
• Tools and Technologies: AI, simulations, and intelligent systems.
• Open Data and Sensing Sources: Comprehensive catalogues for real-time monitoring.
• Meteorological Database: Environmental data for predictive modeling.

The Value of Interoperability
By aggregating these diverse data streams, OpenKIWAS supports analysis, planning, and innovation across the water sector. Its primary goal is to enable interoperability, ensuring that Digital Twins are built on a foundation of high-quality, standardized information. This allows stakeholders to move from fragmented data to actionable insights.

Whether you are a researcher, policymaker, or technology developer, OpenKIWAS provides the essential tools to build smarter, more resilient water systems. By centralizing these resources, we are accelerating the transition toward a digitally empowered water future.
