Digital Tools

An integrated digital platform combining diverse data streams, monitoring and DSS tools, and diverse inventories to support NBS implementation and cross-site comparison.

SIRENA Platform is an integrated geospatial data platform to support monitoring of the required environmental parameters of the pilot sites and act as a repository of project results. It will integrate multiple data sources, including satellite imagery (e.g. Sentinel), hydrological models, in-situ sensor data and citizen science sources, allowing the complete monitoring of the sites.

The platform will also include tools and sensors for monitoring key parameters such as soil health (e.g. nitrogen, phosphorus, organic carbon), water holding capacity, erosion control, and water quality indices. A citizen science app will be available allowing the collection of needed data e.g. reports on locally intense and adverse effects of climate events and facilitating interaction with local stakeholders e.g., enabling feedback for the acceptance of the solutions.

All the data will be stored in dedicated databases, allowing the creation of a complete project platform that also includes the WMLs monitoring framework, the MWR Atlas, the MED Green water policies inventory, and the MWRF. The data storage shall support the FAIR principles, whereas the OGC standards shall be utilized allowing the interoperability of the platform and the integration of external data sources.
