A Holistic Approach

Towards High Quality Urban Water Through Effective Monitoring and
Urban Water Management Planning

QleanUP

What’s QleanUP about?

Europe’s urban water systems face mounting pressure from climate change, emerging pollutants like PFAS and microplastics, and the complexities of rapid urbanization.
The EU-funded QleanUP project unites a multidisciplinary consortium of technology providers, research institutes, and water utilities to deliver a next-generation water quality management platform. By merging innovative hardware sensors with AI-driven digital twins and inclusive stakeholder engagement, QleanUP is transforming urban water management from reactive monitoring to proactive, risk-based resilience.
