Projects
KINDRA
KINDRA (Knowledge Inventory for
hydrogeology research) is funded by
the
European
Commission’s
HORIZON2020
Framework
Programme.
The overall objective of the project is
to
take
stock
of
Europe’s
contemporary practical and scientific
knowledge of hydrogeology research
and innovation with the help of an
inventory of research results, activities,
projects and programmes, and then
use the inventory to identify critical
research challenges and gaps, with a
view to avoiding overlaps. This
approach takes into account the
implementation
of
the
Water
Framework Directive and latest
innovation areas within integrated
water
resources
management,
allowing at EU scale the future correct
management and policy development
of groundwater. The project started on
1 January 2015 and lasts for 36
months.
Monitoring of chemical quality of
irrigation water (surface and
groundwater) of the river basins of
Macedonia-Thrace and Thessaly
The main aim of the project was to
establish an extensive and clear
picture of the existing chemical quality
of irrigation water available in a total of
21 basins of rivers and lakes of
Macedonia-Thrace and Thessaly;
further more identify and locate the
different pollution sources in order to
take on time the necessary measures
of water protection and remediation
actions for the sustainable use of the
natural resource of water according to
the implementation needs of the EU
Directive 2000/60 and other EU
Directives of environmental protection
and especially those concerning the
protection of agricultural ecosystems.
Innovative system for satellite
observation of irrigation and
fertilization of olive fields
The system is the product of
cooperation between PROTYPON
