EU-Central Asia Cooperation on Water-Environment-Climate Change (WECOOP)

 

The EU–Central Asia Platform on Environment and Water Cooperation was established in 2009, with Italy as lead country, as the reference framework for the cooperation between EU and Central Asian countries in the field of environment, water and climate change. The EU renewed the project “European Union – Central Asia Water, Environment and Climate Change Cooperation (WECOOP)” in October 2019 to run until April 2023.  Hydro4U was connected via several events.

FIThydro

 

FIThydro (Fishfriendly Innovative Technologies for Hydropower) is a project funded under the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (GA No. 727830) coordinated by the Technical University of Munich. It addresses the decision support in commissioning and operating hydropower plants (HPP) by use of existing and innovative technologies. It concentrates on mitigation measures and strategies to develop cost-efficient environmental solutions and on strategies to avoid individual fish damage and enhancing population developments. Therefore, HPPs all over Europe are involved as test sites.

HyPeak

 

HyPeak (Hydropeaking Research Network) is an expert network that seeks to enhance scientific exchange and support stakeholders, policy makers and practitioners in the field of hydropeaking.

LIFE NEXUS

 

LIFE NEXUS is a project funded under the LIFE Programme (Ref. LIFE17 ENV/ES/000252) coordinated by CARTIF Technology Centre. It aims at boosting the sustainability of the urban water cycle by means of the energy harvest using micro-hydropower technology.

PLANET

 

PLANET is a cluster for programmes on environment, water, sanitation, climate change, disaster risk reduction, nuclear remediation, biodiversity, energy efficiency and renewable energy. Hydro4U is a member since September 2021.

iAMP-Hydro

 

The iAMP-Hydro project: “intelligent Asset Management Platform for Hydropower”, coordinated by Trinity College Dublin (Ireland), will enhance the digital operation of existing plants through the development of new digital sensors and services which will collectively form iAMP – a novel intelligent Asset Management Platform encompassing secure open and transparent data-sharing protocols and three novel digital solutions.

D-HYDROFLEX

 

The D-HYDROFLEX project: “Digital solutions for improving the sustainability performance and FLEXibility potential of HYDROpower assets” coordinated by NOVA TELECOMMUNICATIONS (Greece), addresses the development of a toolkit of digital tools for digitally ‘renovating’ the existing hydro-electric power plants making them more efficient, more sustainable and more flexible.

WE-ACT

 

The WE-ACT project will change the game in transboundary water allocation and management by introducing a revolutionary Decision Support System (DSS) that optimizes shared benefits and enhances resilience in the face of a rapidly changing climate. The overarching goal of the WE-ACT project is to assist decision-makers in transboundary rivers in achieving equitable allocation of transboundary water among various sectors and users. This will be accomplished through the use of inclusive, future-focused, and climate risk-aware hydro-meteorological monitoring network, water allocation planning and management processes.
