CICLICA

CICLICA is a Research and Innovation project based on advanced technologies for saving water and using unconventional water resources

General information

The Mediterranean is among the most sensitive areas on the planet and constitutes one of the most exposed to the risk of drought. Climate change, together with the disproportionate exploitation of natural resources, will cause an even stronger decrease in the availability of water, energy, and food, as well as an imbalance of the ecosystem, thus affecting to a greater extent the resilience of food systems and therefore in life quality of the population. 

CICLICA is a Research and Innovation project which is focused on two tracks. First, the combination advanced water saving technologies that have already been validated in laboratories to provide a smart system for water management solution. A second track where the implementation of different biotechnology and agro solution for irrigation modeling, improve agronomic management and genetic adapting of alternative crops.

Increasing crop tolerance to climate change and reducing water resources and high temperatures will present the challenge of the CICLICA project. These objectives will be achieved through the mobilization of all the actors concerned (decision-makers, farmers, NGO, technology partners and researchers) to successfully change agricultural practices towards the use of modernizing means of cultivation (humidity sensors), saving water for irrigation and improve soil quality via the development of novel eco-friendly superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) and reuse of non-conventional water resources.

CICLICA PRIMA & ICWAS 2024

  • From September 25 to 27, 2024, the University of Cadi Ayyad in Marrakech hosted the International Conference on Water Innovation and Smart Irrigation (ICWAS 2024), organized by Faissal Azid. The event brought together researchers and experts to discuss the latest progress in efficient water management. Topics included innovative solutions for wastewater treatment, water reuse, and smart irrigation, with a focus on successful collaborations in water projects. Members from the University of Cadi Ayyad, Technical University of Munich, CEBAS-CSIC, and AZUD highlighted key advancements from the CICLICA project.
