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.
The BLUE PLANET Berlin Water Dialogues address interested representatives from the private and public sectore, academia, nongovernmental organizations, and other interested stakeholders. The program and registration link are given under www.blueplanetberlin.de
KI im Einsatz zur regionalen Starkregenabschätzung
Extreme Wetterereignisse wie Starkregen nehmen weltweit zu – die verlässliche Einschätzung solcher Ereignisse kann Leben retten und Eigentum schützen. Forschende des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT) stellen nun eine Methode vor, die grob aufgelöste globale Wetterdaten mithilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) in hochpräzise Niederschlagskarten umwandelt – ortsunabhängig, schnell und ressourcenschonend.
