The PCP WISE project has reached a significant milestone with the selection of five European consortia for its first phase – Solution Design (March-July 2026). Each brings a complementary vision of hydrological intelligence, combining science, technology and innovation to help regions better manage water and climate-related risks. We therefore present their initial Solution Design proposals in detail.

WI4EURECA – Water Intelligence for European urban and rural Assessment

Led by Planetek Italia S.r.l. (Italy) and composed of Latitudo40, Agricolus and Tracasa Global, WI4EURECA offers a comprehensive platform for monitoring and managing hydrological risks. Its solution is based on a modular, cloud-based architecture, integrating Earth observation data, biophysical modelling and advanced analytics.

It covers a wide range of phenomena, water availability, floods, droughts and even fire risks, through the generation of hazard layers and urban vulnerability indicators. The interactive and intuitive user interface makes it easy to interpret environmental and seasonal dynamics to support data-driven decisions on climate change adaptation.

VALOR AQUA – Integrated Water Management for Climate Resilience

Led by SingularLogic (Greece) and composed of Centreo Tecnologico CARTIF, Nazka, Sumaqua and AgroApps, VALOR AQUA aims to create a cloud-native platform for the integrated management of water and climate-related risks. Its central engine, the SWV Core Engine, merges satellite data (Sentinel, Landsat), meteorological data (ECMWF, ERA5) and hydrological data (soil moisture, groundwater).

The analyses produce accurate indicators, water balances, drought or flood risks, urban heat stress, forest fires, agricultural yields, accessible via WebGL visualisations, SMS alerts or standardised APIs. Three levels of crisis scenarios are supported: drought, flooding and fire.

Aquaspace Finland – Science Driven Solutions for Better Water Decisions

Led by Sitowise Oy (Finland) and composed of  Aalto University, University of Turku, NLS Finnish Geospatial Reasearch Institute FGI and Finnish Meteorological Institute, Aquaspace Finland combines scientific rigour with practical applications. Its solution is based on a scalable mapping interface, tailored to the needs of different user profiles.

The platform is structured around three modes of use:

  • Act Now, to convert climate signals into immediate operational decisions;
  • Prepare & Optimise, to observe how options evolve and narrow over time;
  • Learn & Plan, to link the past, present and future, and justify decisions transparently.

This alignment between strategic vision and decision support fosters a shared understanding of risk, which is essential for resilience.

DROPS WISE – Drought & Rainfall Observation and Prediction System

Led by ARUP B.V. (Netherlands) and composed of Nelen & Schuurmans, FutureWater, AcaciaWater, Vito and Technolution., DROP WISE is developing a European intelligence service focusing on drought and rainfall. The aim is to provide users with a dynamic web interface where they can explore hydrological trends in real time, using interactive maps, graphs and multi-channel alerts (email, SMS, Signal, WhatsApp).

A customisable dashboard allows the solution to be adapted to each specific use case, whilst building on a robust technological foundation based on SWV feeds and open APIs.

SYMPHONICA – Harmonising Europe’s Water Intelligence

Finally, HydroLogic (Netherlands) leads the SYMPHONICA project, a true European ‘orchestration’ of water data. The system integrates, harmonises and processes various fragmented sources of information to transform them into a coherent picture of the hydrological situation on a continental scale.

Just as a conductor leads an orchestra without playing every instrument, SYMPHONICA users benefit from a comprehensive overview that allows them to focus their attention on decision-making rather than technical complexity. Its ambition: to make water intelligence accessible, understandable and actionable
