Universitat Politècnica de Valencia (UPV) leads international project InTheMED (Innovative and Sustainable Groundwater Management in the Mediterranean) which overall objective encompasses the implementation of innovative and sustainable management tools and remediation strategies for Mediterranean aquifers in order to mitigate anthropogenic and climate-change threats. The project is coordinated by Professor Jaime Gómez-Hernández, Full Professor at the UPV and the responsible for the Group of Hydrogeology at the Institute for Water and Environmental Engineering (IIAMA), and composed by a consortium of centres from Spain, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Tunisia and Turkey.
InTheMED will develop an inclusive process that will establish an ensemble of innovative assessment and management tools and methodologies including a high-resolution monitoring approach, smart modelling, a socio-economic assessment, web-based decision support systems and new configurations for governance to establish efficient and sustainable integrated groundwater management in the Mediterranean considering both the quantitative and qualitative aspects.
