Priority programmes and equipment for exploratory research (PEPR) under PIA4: OneWater project  The Environment and Sustainability Research Federation of the Alsace academic site (FERED) played a major role in setting up the OneWater PEPR.

The OneWater project has been designed to move towards a more responsible conception and management of water as an essential common good. It addresses several issues in an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary way: the non-stability of the water cycle in order to anticipate its variability and heterogeneity. The co-design of indicators and proxies needed to predict global impacts on water, with a range of approaches to improve local water resources and their resilience in the face of change. OneWater treats water as a socio-hydrosystem, addressing all its components and interactions.
