Overcoming the barriers for scaling up circular water management in agriculture

Development of a pilot system integrating fog and dew harvesting, using a membrane-based water collection method to capture atmospheric moisture and address water scarcity in coastal, mountainous, and arid regions.

• Implementation of a Digital Twin (DT) for real-time monitoring and optimisation, enabling fog prediction, performance tracking, maintenance alerts, and scenario simulation to enhance water collection efficiency.

• Integration with irrigation systems, ensuring efficient water use based on available atmospheric moisture, and potential combination with traditional rainwater harvesting methods, such as solar panel collection.

• Portfolio of water solutions supporting water reuse and treatment, including membrane technologies, electrochemical processes, and nature-based solutions, improving resource efficiency and sustainability.

• Sustainability, economic, and social assessment of the proposed solutions, ensuring long-term viability and environmental impact reduction.

• Valorisation of fertilisers and production of biogas and hydrogen from water treatment, enhancing energy efficiency in integrated water management systems.
