RuralBioUp

The TRACE project is modernising Ireland's rural water cooperatives through a mobile application that integrates Water-Energy-Climate (WEC) data: https://bit.ly/4kZOuTd The app helps communities manage water scarcity, contamination, and infrastructure issues by providing real-time monitoring and data collection.?
