30 partners from industry, water utilities, universities and other research institutes work together in the project that started in June 2016 and will be finished in May 2019. With 7.8 mio. € EU funding, 13 demonstration sites in Europe, India and Israel that cover a representative range of regional, climatic, and hydrogeological conditions were built and operated.
In detail, combinations of river bank filtration and several engineered post-treatment processes, the treatment and storage capacity of soil-aquifer systems in combination with engineered pre-treatment systems as well as the combination of constructed wetlands with different pre- or post-treatment processes were examined.

Project will develop roadmap for creation of a digital twin of the European hydrosphere
The IDEATION project, which kicked off in June 2024, will spend the next two years developing a roadmap for the European Commission. This roadmap includes a reference architecture, use cases and recommendations for the future design of a “Digital Twin Inland Waters” – a virtual representation of the European inland waters including rivers, lakes, groundwater and wetlands.
