Sustainable WAter Management for Smart Agriculture in the MEDiterranean Regions (SWAMED)
SWAMED addresses one of the Mediterranean’s most pressing challenges - water scarcity, drought, and population growth - which threatens both ecosystems and agricultural productivity.
Co-funded by the European Union under the Interreg NEXT MED programme with a total budget €2,745,200 the project aims to co-design a water monitoring and management system for irrigated agriculture, adaptable to local conditions through a multi-stakeholder approach. The system will be tested in four pilot sites located in Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey and Greece, engaging farmers, water authorities, and research institutions.
Over the next 3 years the project will be implemented by the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” (Italy), in collaboration with Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ»ÆƬ (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ»ÆƬ) (Egypt), Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) (Greece), CRTEAN – Regional Center for Remote Sensing of North African States (Tunisia), Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University (ALKU) (Turkey), and Associated partners including the Alanya District Directorate of Agriculture (Turkey) and the Higher School of Engineers of Medjez El Bab (Tunisia).
Through effective engagement of stakeholders and deployment of advanced technologies, SWAMED will:
- - Develop A Decision Support System (DSS) for efficient irrigation.
- - Implement a pilot project and test it in four different countries.
- - Provide training and stakeholder engagement through surveys, workshops, and focus groups.
- - Formulate a sustainability and exploitation plan for future adoption and scaling up.
- - Disseminate outputs through videos and outreach materials.
