The consortium has eight partners in France and Spain, including private companies, public research centers and metropolitan areas. The solutions developed will be deployed on two pilot sites: the Metropolis of Lille (France) and its canalized river (La Deûle) as well as the city of Madrid (Spain).
Coordinator
provides digital solutions and expertise to support SUEZ environmental and digital transformation. 3S integrates data collection solutions (sensors, probes)providing digital models and real-time applications. 3S owns AQDV UD and will have a key role as project coordinator and integrator.

expert in urban drainage systems planning and management, technological solutions implementation. As one of the LIFE EFFIDRAIN RTC author, it will support the LIFE RUBIES integration and deployment in CYII pilot. It will implement the CYII pilot river monitoring task.
the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), co-author of the MPC solution, will be deeply committed in the methodologies improvements for real demonstration and will support CETAQUA in the integration and testing activities
Water Technology Centre set up by Aigües de Barcelona, Univ. Politècnica de Catalunya and the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas and MPC controller co-author implemented in LIFE EFFIDRAIN, will work on the improvements, supporting its integration in AQDV UD, in the demonstration and assessment of the replication/transfer plan in Madrid.
French Public intermunicipal cooperation authority will provide specifications, adapt pilot sites to carry out demonstrations and will be the French pilot operation and validations responsible. Signed commitment letters.
SUEZ Innovation Center on urban water management and LIFE EFFIDRAIN MV curve controller author, will work on the controller improvements and supporting its integration in AQDV UD, in the demonstration actions, in the development and assessment of the replication/transfer plan in Lille.
LASIRE laboratory will be in charge for implementing the environment monitoring on Lille pilot site. U-Lille (LASIRE) leads the SUMO project aiming at developing new methodologies to assess water body quality. This local project is co-funding by the French Water Agency (AEAP), the Region Hauts-de-France and the Lasire Laboratory.
Support
Météo France financed the French pilot as a supplier of meteorological radar on the territory of the MEL, essential data for the success of the project.
