The project in brief
OPTAIN aims to :
- identify efficient techniques for the retention and reuse of water and nutrients in small agricultural catchments, taking into account potential synergies with existing drainage-irrigation systems.
- select NSWRMs at farm and catchment level and optimize their spatial allocation and combination, based on environmental and economic sustainability indicators. By building on existing knowledge and addressing these objectives, OPTAIN will improve the Technological Readiness Level of NSWRMs for the benefit of both humans and ecosystems.
