A sovereign, cross-border data space for flood early warning, water quality monitoring and extreme weather response. Connecting municipalities, research institutions and technology providers across Spain, Ireland and Norway.
Geo4Water — Geodata Space for Smart Water Monitoring and Response from Extreme Weather — is a Digital Europe Programme pilot validating cross-border data spaces for climate resilience, coordinated by the Municipality of San Javier (Murcia, Spain).
Integrating IoT sensor networks, satellite Earth observation (Copernicus), and municipal infrastructure data to deliver real-time water quality and flood risk insights.
Built on Eclipse EDC and IDSA Dataspace Protocol. Each participant retains full control over their data with policy-based access and usage control.
Pilot cities in Spain, Ireland and Norway share environmental data across national boundaries under a harmonised INSPIRE-compliant governance framework.
Contributing to EU climate adaptation objectives, DS4SSCC (Data Spaces for Smart and Sustainable Cities and Communities) and the European Green Deal.
Five cross-border use cases covering the full water management lifecycle, from flood prediction to groundwater sustainability.
Combining river gauge IoT data with Copernicus satellite imagery and meteorological models to produce real-time inundation risk maps for coastal and fluvial areas.
Continuous multi-parameter monitoring (pH, turbidity, conductivity, nitrates) from Libelium sensor networks, federated across pilot sites and accessible via open APIs.
Integrating MET Norway forecast models with local IoT observations to issue early warnings for flash floods, storm surges and heavy precipitation events.
Time-series analysis of satellite-derived coastline change data shared between San Javier and Donegal to benchmark erosion rates and inform coastal management plans.
Federated access to groundwater level datasets from national hydrological agencies, enabling cross-border drought assessment and aquifer sustainability modelling.
A consortium of municipalities, technology companies and research universities building the next generation of water data infrastructure.
Explore the datasets published by all participants, synchronised automatically from their EDC connectors across all three pilot cities.
Query all connector catalogues in real time from a single access point using the DCAT standard.
Catalogues are updated automatically every 30 seconds via the Dataspace Protocol (DSP).
Filter by name, provider or identifier. View metadata, distributions and policies for each dataset.
