The IT-WATER project aims to better understand how climate change will impact water resources in Italy. Utilizing advanced computing technologies, including supercomputing, IT-WATER will provide the first detailed scenarios on the evolution of water resources in the country for the coming decades. The project involves analyzing climate data, adapting hydrological models for supercomputers, and creating drought indices for future decision-making. The consortium includes research institutes, small businesses, and public organizations, addressing a crucial challenge for the future sustainability of Italy’s water resources.
CIMA Research Foundation’s contribution
CIMA Research Foundation is the lead partner of the project and will collaborate with other partners in processing climate scenarios and conducting high-resolution hydrological simulations using supercomputers. It will also lead the work package related to calculating and validating future hydrological drought metrics.
