Digital Twin-based solutions for enhanced integration of ecosystemservices in water resource management

EcoTwin is dedicated to strengthening the integration of ecosystem services within the realm of water resource management, with a specific emphasis on lake ecosystems. Lakes, as crucial components of our natural environment, contribute invaluably to society by offering a diverse array of ecosystem services, ranging from flood and drought regulation to recreation, habitat provision, and drinking water supply. However, the escalating impacts of climate change pose an imminent and severe threat to the resilience of lake ecosystems, compelling the need for the adoption of advanced technology and methodologies to fortify our understanding, management, and long-term preservation efforts. In response to this critical challenge, EcoTwin leverages the power of Digital Twins as a transformative tool. Digital Twins represent virtual replicas of physical systems, continuously updated in real-time, enabling sophisticated simulations and in-depth analysis.
