The PureCircles consortium has the following main objectives, which arw broken down in WP specific objectives, milestones and deliverables:

·       Establish, test and validate the technical components of a recirculating system for integrated water and resources management IWRM system in Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Portugal and Spain.

·       Maximize crop yield and resource efficiency (energy, water and nutrients) by omplementing the hydroponic water rehabilitation system with customized water management plans for field crops in all study sites.

·       Reducing water demand, optimizing salinity balance, and limiting sediment and pollutants in runoff water.

·       AI-assisted irrigation and fertilization management tool.

·       Installation and testing of agrophotovoltaics (e.g., flexible PV for greenhouses, agrovoltaics in fields) to evaluate their impact on crop yields and operational efficiency, and evaluation of the potential for dual-use PV panels to generate energy and captured rainwater (for groundwater recharge, salt leaching from soil, and irrigation) at study sites.

·       Develop and test an AI-based decision and management tool that integrates the main components of the circular IWRM system with smart agriculture.
