DATASET: GrounDwater sAlinizaTion and leaching AsseSsmEnt Tool: a holistic approach for coastal areas

The overall goal of DATASET is to propose a tool to protect and regulate coastal aquifers. This goal will be met by promoting the protection of groundwater which constitute a resource of fathomless value for the many anthropic activities and for the fragile environments present in coastal plains. The main aim of DATASET will be to develop and apply methods to create vulnerability maps throughout a holistic assessment of coastal aquifers coupling the evaluation of agriculputal leaching and salinization process phenomena in a single methodology to improve water governance aimed at early warning, prevention, and mitigation of groundwater quality degradation. The application of artificial intelligence algorithms, along with statistical methodologies will ensure model reliability. The main core of the proposal relies mainly on the “Digital revolution” and “Open research” enablers coupling the drivers of “Climate Change” and “Urbanization and Population increase". The method will be built on Open data thanks to the possibility of using a growing number of available global and regional datasets, removing the dependance on local sampling and making the assessment completely cost-free. The realization of a web-platform and of a completely new GIS-based plug in will allow a wide audience to apply the new DATASET methodology everywhere around the world. The implementation of the project will be of great importance for the recognition of the Gdańsk University of Technology in the area related to sustainable water management and mitigation of the effects of climate change. An important aspect is also the development of international cooperation and high-quality publications with the university's affiliation.
