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.
