SMART WATER: Web Accessible Tool for Risk Management in EU Regions

This project aims to develop a web accessible tool for simple risk management of water-related events in EU regions. By improving existing tools and utilizing scientific contributions, the project will create a SMART application that can be used at different territorial levels. The project aims to increase information circulation, citizenship awareness, coordination between EU member states, and cooperation between territorial entities involved in civil protection activities and flood risk prevention.

  4. PROJECT DESCRIPTION - 1 Project Idea Background Tragic flood event, Nov. 2010, Province of Padua. Main causes: lack of an integrated communication system; lack of updated tools for forecasting. Analogue situations in the other participating Countries Project Main Objective To USE* the results and scientific contribution EXISTING at European level, improving them until obtaining a SMART application ACCESSIBLE at DIFFERENT territorial LEVEL. * There are several tools to forecast events but most of the times they are not updated or they are not able to run in real time due to non existent territorial networks able to supply the necessary data

  5. PROJECT DESCRIPTION - 2 Why the project is necessary 1 - Need of increasing information circulation and citizenship awareness in order to restore the current feeling of insecurity between citizens caused by recent events. 2 - Need of increasing coordination between EU Member States and networking between funded projects on the same theme in order to maximize the reached results and link them one to another. 3 - Need of increasing cooperation and integration between territorial entities involved in Civil Protection activities and flood risk prevention in order to guarantee data availability, territorial participation and the involvement of numerous territorial levels (down to Municipalities which have the tighter link with citizens)

  9. FOLLOW - UP SMART WATER will focus on KEEPING an ACTIVE and ALIVE NETWORK after the end of the project so to continuously monitor the situation and encourage the creation of a strong and coordinate network. FOLLOW - UP ACTIVITIES will be: data transmission, data update, relevant territorial actors involvement, networking with EU funded project. FOLLOW – UP PERSONNEL: 2 members for each partner (1 person for communication activities, 1 scientific expert for data update ) FOLLOW – UP EQUIPMENT: the same employed in project activities
