The project
IDEATION at a glance:
IDEATION is an EU-funded project focused on preparing the development of the Digital Twin of the inland waters (rivers, lakes, reservoirs, wetlands, snow, and ice) interoperable with the Digital Twin Ocean (DTO). The project’s success depends on the collaboration of an experienced consortium of 11 European partners.
Why IDEATION?
IDEATION aims to integrate inland water data with the Digital Twin Ocean (DTO) to combine real-time and historical data from various sources, reflecting the different inland waters physical characteristics and dynamics. It offers valuable insights for scientists, researchers, and policymakers to make informed decisions about freshwater health and management.
Areas for Innovation
Climate Change Impact
IDEATION helps mitigate the effects of climate change by creating a digital model of inland waters, which provides valuable insights into shifts in precipitation patterns, temperature changes, and water availability.
Regulatory Compliance
IDEATION supports regions in meeting strict regulations on water quality and usage by offering accurate, real-time data and comprehensive analysis.
Environmental Conservation
By developing a digital twin of inland waters, the project aids in the conservation of these valuable natural resources, ensuring the availability of drinking water, supporting agriculture, and facilitating industrial processes.
Resource Management
IDEATION enhances the management of inland water ecosystems, which are home to unique biodiversity, by providing detailed and integrated data.
Water Quality Control
Maintaining water quality is crucial for public health and the environment. IDEATION’s digital model helps monitor and manage water quality effectively.
Data-Driven Decision-Making
The project offers decision-makers a comprehensive view of the current state of inland waters, enabling informed and strategic decisions for sustainable management.
