Bellow are some examples of needs addressed through IP in the field of water, highlighting those involving TWIST regions:
PCP for Water Smart Metering
Water Public Innovation Procurement Policies
Innovative prototypes based on natural or modified clays for water purification and nano-formulations for intelligent pesticide release
