Clustering activities
ZeroPollution4Water Cluster
MAR2PROTECT is one of the seven founding members of the ZeroPollution4Water Cluster (ZP4WC), a collaborative initiative whose aim is to prevent groundwater contamination and safeguard drinking water quality. Since its foundation, the cluster has grown to bring together a total of 17 innovative projects.
MAR2PROTECT actively contributes to the cluster’s activities by leading the Communication Working Group. Explore below the materials and resources developed collaboratively within the ZP4WC.
The overview and the inventory of 32 case studies in drinking and groundwater
This report aims to provide an overview about the 32 case studies of seven ZeroPollution4Water Cluster projects. These seven projects have received funding under Horizon Europe Research and Innovation programme in 2022 and aim at preventing groundwater pollution and securing drinking water quality. In line with the zero-pollution ambition of the European Green Deal the seven projects will use the case studies to increase the preparedness of the EU water sector for challenges arising from climate change and support EU environmental legislation and policies related to groundwater and drinking water consumer protection. They focus on preventing freshwater pollution, enhancing water quality, and ensuring safe use for both humans and ecosystems, among others. The approach involves the entire drinking water production cycle, with an emphasis on developing innovative and robust monitoring and early-warning systems on drinking water quality, from sources to drinking water supply.
