The aim of the network was to develop new products and processes based on new technologies (digitalization and data processing using AI) and nature-based solutions (e.g. use of mineral materials and clay) in the field of decentralized water management in order to further advance the establishment of complementary, actively managed, smart and decentralized water cycles as part of the sponge city concept. The current basic principle of one-time use and immediate disposal of water was the main focus of the considerations. Sustainable concepts and measures were used to treat and reuse both low-polluted rainwater and process water several times on site. The network's activities focused in particular on air conditioning using smart green roofs and façades, urban and vertical farming (hydroponic systems), filtration on roads and traffic routes and the digitalization of service water cycles.
