Inventive forecasting tools for adapting water quality management to a new climate (inventWater) is a Marie Sklodowska Curie Action European Training Networks (ETN) project (program Innovative Training Networks (ITN) of Horizon 2020). It is funded under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Grant Agreement (No. 956623).

Description

Long-term climate change, extreme events, and seasonal weather variations profoundly impact the water quality of rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. This implies a pressing need for tools anticipating the impacts of these environmental changes and enabling effective water management that safeguards the ecosystem goods and services freshwaters provide. The inventWater project is a training platform of 15 early-stage researchers into experts in developing water quality forecasting tools needed to support fast and reliable decision-making as well as long-term adaptation policies. The UFZ is a host to two of the researchers.
