The project
With mineral dust as the driving force behind our inter and transdisciplinary approach, NETWAT will develop solutions to ensure an optimized photovoltaic (PV) production in West Africa without compromising the sustainability of the water resource management in the region.
NETWAT is built on an inter and transdisciplinary consortium gathering two academic partners (IGE and LISA) and one SME (Steadysun).
It also benefits from existing long-term African-French partnerships : SNO INDAAF, SNO AMMA-Catch, LMI NEXUS and partnerships with the energy sector in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire and in Senegal.
This 4-year project, started in January 2023, is funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR), AAPG 2022, Sustainability Sciences.
