INLECOM Contributes to Water Resilience through Digital Twin Development in the GENESIS Project
INLECOM is proud to be an active participant in the GENESIS Project, which focuses on enhancing climate resilience in water infrastructure through Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) and AI-driven technologies. The project officially launched with a successful kick-off meeting on the 25th and 26th of September in Madrid, where consortium partners discussed plans to improve water resource management, particularly in regions vulnerable to climate-related challenges.
During the meeting, INLECOM presented its role in developing a Digital Twin of La Palma’s water infrastructure. INLECOM Innovation will deploy AI-driven simulations to optimize water management strategies, offering real-time insights into infrastructure resilience. These simulations will optimize mitigation strategies, contribute to innovative water management and support the integration of NbS such as rainwater harvesting systems and dry gallery structures to enhance water resource efficiency.
The two-day event, hosted by Conejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) and Instituto Geológico y Minero de España (IGME), allowed partners to exchange ideas on project objectives, work packages, and future tasks, setting the foundation for productive collaboration.
About GENESIS Project
The GENESIS Project aims to deliver scalable solutions that can address critical water infrastructure challenges in the Macaronesia region and beyond, providing a roadmap for resilient and sustainable water systems across Europe. The project will showcase local and regional NbS and create a deep demonstrator in Macaronesia. Its goal is to support regions, local authorities, and communities in addressing climate change vulnerabilities related to potential natural disasters and long-term climate changes impacting groundwater-dependent systems. Additionally, GENESIS prioritizes sustainable water reuse to maximize resource efficiency by treating and repurposing wastewater, stormwater, and reclaimed water for non-potable uses like irrigation, industry, and urban landscaping.
