MAR2PROTECT has been featured in the 4th edition of the ICT4Water Newsletter, showcasing our latest interview with our project coordinator Ana Pereiro. In the conversation, Ana discussed the recently updated EU list of priority pollutants and its far-reaching implications for water quality and management across Europe.
Take the opportunity to read the full interview where we reflected on the list of pollutants affecting surface and groundwater. The update includes new pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and PFAS and strengthens environmental quality standards as well as monitoring requirements across Member States. It modernises key pillars of EU water legislation, including the Water Framework Directive, the Groundwater Directive, and the Environmental Quality Standards Directive, ensuring that regulations reflect the latest scientific evidence.
We are proud to be part of the ICT4Water spotlight, helping MAR2PROTECT reach wider audiences and contribute to a more sustainable groundwater management. The ICT4Water cluster serves as a central hub for EU-funded research projects that leverage information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve water management. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, ICT4Water connects projects, policymakers, and key stakeholders working toward smarter and more efficient water solutions.
