S.P.O.N.G.E - the online navigation guide for European sponge projects

S.P.O.N.G.E (Sponge Projects Online Navigation Guide Europe) is a pan-European database that aims to function as a portal to sponge projects and measures from 9 existing major international databases from the projects REWET, WaterLands, NWRM, SER, WOCAT, MERLIN, Alfawetlands, Restore4cs, WET HORIZONS, and new data that will be collected within the SpongeBoost consortium.

As a navigation guide, it brings European data from different databases together and provides a geographical overview of existing sponge projects and measures. These projects and measures all aim to restore or enhance landscapes’ natural water retention (or sponge) capacity.
