WATERAGRI PROJECT
What is the WATERAGRI Project?

„The project aims to re-introduce and enhance sustainable solutions for water retention and nutrient recycling to enable agricultural production that can sustain growing populations and cope with present and future climate change challenges. WATERAGRI will develop traditional drainage and irrigation solutions and re-introduce nature-based solutions such as integrated constructed wetlands, bio-inspired drainage systems and sustainable flood retention basins in the agricultural landscape, leading to better retention of both water and nutrients.”

OUR TESTIMONIALS
This is why we do what we do
  • Irrigation was never an issue in southern Sweden up until recent years. Precipitation patterns have changed and water retention on our fields has become a challenge. With the scientist of WATERAGRI, we intend to find out if investing into water retention and nutrient retention can help to sustain our yields. With the companies in WATERAGRI, we propose to serve as a testing bed for what works best. We are also curious to find out, if conventional versus organic farming practices have an impact on water use efficiency and on the water quality of the streams.

  • The WATERAGRI project is about researching the new frontiers in integrated water resources management of small agricultural catchments to improve both European agricultural production and the status of local ecosystems. Our consortium is committed to significantly improve agricultural water management.
