Description

The aim of WATERSENS is to demonstrate the benefits of six decentralised water management technologies —such as floating wetlands, biofilters, and green roofs— and to provide an integrated decision-making framework to support water operators and authorities in the selection, design, and integration of these systems.

ITG leads the development and real-world implementation of a digital platform serving as a decision-support system, enabling users to evaluate, select, and design decentralised solutions for water management.
