This project aims to develop an innovative solution for integrating intensive aquaculture and fertigation of forage crops, utilizing recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and advanced technologies such as IoT sensors and computational modeling. The proposal seeks to optimize the use of effluents generated in aquaculture by transforming them into efficient liquid fertilizers for agricult…
Since the 1970s until the present day, there seems to be a consensus that using the watershed for water resources management, governance, and conflict resolution is the most appropriate approach. The watershed is a natural landscape unit that represents the definition of an open system. Each watershed is composed of a set of sub-watersheds, and according to the concept of nested sub-water…
Access to potable water and sanitation remains one of the priorities of the UN 2030 Agenda, reflecting the urgent need for efficient monitoring of water resources in light of increasing environmental degradation and the growing demand for these resources. In this context, ORBTY has developed an innovative water quality monitoring system based on remote sensing, which combines satellite da…

This project aims to strengthen collaboration between research groups coordinated by Prof. Dr. Eduardo Vicente, from the Department of Microbiology and Ecology, Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Valencia (Campus de Burjassot, Valencia, Spain), with the group coordinated by me in the Department of Ecology, Institute of Biosciences, University from São Paulo. The activities plan…
The study of sub-lethal effects of antifouling products on the metabolism of invasive and non-target species is crucial to optimize treatment effectiveness in biofouling control while minimizing environmental impacts. This study aims to experimentally assess the adverse effects of coated fish farming nets on the metabolism of the golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) and microcrustaceans, u…
The correlation between natural conditions and human intervention places Brazil among the countries in which floods are recurrent and affect different segments of society. It is essential that the different political-administrative spheres (federal, state and municipal) and the bodies that act on the direct scale of the occurrence of events, such as the Hydrographic Basin Committees and t…

As a result of increasing pressure on water resources, ensuring their availability for all is one of the most significant current and future challenges. This challenge is particularly pronounced in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, where rapid urbanization, often lacking organization, complicates the task of guaranteeing water availability and implementing sustainable sewage managemen…
With the growing concern for the environment since the 1970s, water quality monitoring has become an important topic for discussion, presenting challenges such as the lack of workforce, funding and logistic problems. To mitigate them, remote sensing techniques have emerged, allowing the analysis of large areas while requiring less manpower and resources. Therefore, the present research pr…
The presence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in water bodies poses a growing threat to human health, aquatic biodiversity, and water security, especially due to their toxicity, environmental persistence, and resistance to conventional treatments. Among POPs, the pesticides glyphosate, atrazine, and 2,4-D stand out, as they are widely used in Brazil and have already been detected i…
The Billings Reservoir, located in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (Brazil), faces severe water and soil quality degradation due to intense urbanization and the influx of domestic and industrial effluents. Despite its importance, data related to phosphorus (P) dynamics and comprehensive spatial studies on water quality and the geochemistry of soils and surface sediments in this reser…

The increasing accumulation of solid waste over the past decades has led to a rise in leachate generation in landfills. This liquid, resulting from the decomposition of waste, carries toxic substances that can contaminate both the soil and water resources, raising serious environmental concerns. To address this challenge, sustainable alternatives for leachate treatment are being explored,…
Access to clean water, proper sanitation, and hygiene is one of the most fundamental human needs for health and well-being. Membrane technologies are recognized for their robustness and ability to provide safe drinking water, and/or produce reuse water from wastewater. Membranes act as selective barriers, allowing certain substances to pass through based on properties like size or charge,…
Water plays a central role. In the water-society nexus, water is used for consumption activities, and hygiene is perceived as an element of human dignity. Access to clean water and sanitation leads to health benefits. In the water-economy nexus, water is an input for economic activities, and its availability determines the cultivation of irrigated crops, forestry production, livestock far…

The hydrological cycle has been facing significant challenges due to the excessive use of water and extreme climate change causing its scarcity. Water security refers to ensuring the availability of water in adequate quantity and quality to sustain life and productive activities, requiring actions to mitigate risks. Thus, improving water resource management becomes essential, particularly…
O principal desafio de gestão de recursos hídricos é como garantir quantidade e qualidade de água suficientes para consumo humano, atividades produtivas e ecossistemas, uma vez que a gestão eficaz da água requer monitoramento em tempo real e análise de dados de forma eficiente.1.619 / 5.000The main challenge in water resource management is how to ensure sufficient quantity and quality of …
No setor sudoeste do município de Bauru, no estado de São Paulo, o Sistema Aquífero Guarani apresenta potencial hidráulico limitado devido à reduzida espessura estratigráfica, o que restringe sua capacidade de atender à demanda urbana. Consequentemente, aproximadamente 25% do abastecimento de água da cidade é proveniente do Rio Batalha, que frequentemente enfrenta escassez durante as esta…

Monitoring water quality in public supply reservoirs is essential for environmental management, especially in tropical regions subject to cyanobacterial blooms. Chlorophyll-a, a photosynthetic pigment present in all phytoplankton groups, is widely used as an indicator of algal biomass and eutrophication. The use of orbital remote sensing, particularly with images from the European Space A…
The urgency of developing actions to enhance the capacity to respond to climate change is a global challenge. Agroforestry Systems (AFS) have proven to be a crucial resilience strategy, capable of mitigating or reversing soil degradation, improving fertility, protecting water resources, sequestering carbon, preventing deforestation, and conserving biodiversity. However, traditional resear…
The use of compounds in industrial processes to meet population demand has resulted in the contamination of water resources. These substances are not efficiently removed by the classic water and sewage treatment process. For this, electrochemical technology is used, which produces oxidizing agents such as percarbonate (C2O62-) and hydroxyl radicals (*OH), capable of breaking down pollutan…
