Political and social awareness on water environmental challenges (POWER)
This project of the Water, Climate & Future Deltas hub aims to develop so-called digital social platforms in order to optimise urban water management, with regards to water quality, reduction of water consumption, reduction of risks of surface water flooding and water conservation. Four key demonstration cities have been chosen because of their ongoing work in water related areas: Milton Keynes, Leicester, Sabadell and Jerusalem.
