Addressing the lack of ๐ง #water availability faced by the ๐ #agricultural sector in #Malta through ๐ฌ #research. Funded by #H2020 program @EuropeanCommission
Stephen Hallet from @CranfieldUni on behalf of @MalcolmBorg2 from @MCASTmt is providing some concluding remarks for the project. Considering the results achieved in the last three years @FowarimM shows the hallmarks of a succesful scientific project.
Ms Terribile from @MCASTmt presents a #casestudy on the Maltese Islands, that was carried out with the collaboration of @CranfieldUni. The study was aimed at giving a better understanding of specific @crops with different manure sources and specific @irrigation regimes.
Check out some key priorities for actions for #Malta identified by @CranfieldUni in the framework of @FowarimM#H2020 project and presented by Jerry Knox.
Mr. Steve Zerafa from @MCASTmt discusses about the results of using satellite imagery as a tool for #water#management in @agriculture in #Malta . #satelliteimagery is a very promising tool and in order for the models to work efficiently more #data will be required.
The @FowarimM#H2020 project focused on monitoring #agriculture#water use in the Maltese islands. Mr. Marco Dimesh from the Agriculture Directorate. A pilot project based on #data collection to calculate #water#irrigation was implemented during the project.
Dr. Alex Rizzo, Head of University College @MCASTmt, stressed the importance of @FowarimM#H2020 project for Malta, one of the driest countries on the planet with only 188 metres cubed of fresh #water per inhabitant.
During the FOWARIM Closing Conference an overview of FOWARIM project will be presented and topics such as #water use in #agriculture, #circulareconomy, #irrigation, #sustainability and many others will be discussed. For further info, check here: https://t.co/tn85xTUQNi
The 5th European Water Conference will be an occasion to review progress on implementating EU #water#legislation. The event is jointly organised by the @EuropeanCommiss โs Directorate-General for the #Environment and the Austrian EU Presidency. https://t.co/t47vk8jiON
