Main research questionA lack of harmonized methods for gathering and reporting data about microplastic pollution presents a major obstacle to the implementation of monitoring and mitigation actions. This is further hampered by a lack of clear guidelines on the purpose of these monitoring efforts.

Main research questionTo prevent future water scarcity in livestock farming, efforts must be made to switch to alternative water sources as well as to save water. To support the Flemish livestock sector in this conversion, correct and recent figures of drinking water consumption and other water consumption categories are lacking.

WaterRadar connects water supply and demand for agriculture
The partners in the VLAIO project Irrigation 2.0 developed the online viewer WaterRadar. That tool integrates water supply and demand, promoting sustainable and circular water use.
Research projects
To help farmers find thir way to alternative water sources, we developed the WaterRadar: www.waterradar.be. This online tool, connected to the WatchitGrow platform, contains an inventory and freely available database of the alternative water sources in Flanders, with a current focus on treated wastewater from food companies and Aquafin.
