WATERLINE project fulfills its goals one by one! As part of the project, we, as Dokuz Eylul University (DEU), carried out the Phase 1 testing of the Pipe Losses VR experiment developed by the University of Niš (UNI). Read more below 👇👇👇

In support of digital research and teaching, we are pleased to experience the first VR experiment in the DEU hydraulics laboratory, where we can physically perform many experiments on fluid mechanics and hydraulics.

Despite all the ongoing developments, it is clear that the "UNI Pipe Losses ViLE" experiment that allows measuring friction losses and minor losses in pipe systems, calculating loss coefficients, and monitoring scenarios under different flow conditions.

It will contribute as intended to digital water education, especially at the point of distance education as part of remotely planned teaching models or enforced due to force majeure conditions. Our excitement and cooperation continues!

🌟 Researcher Spotlight: Giacomo Falcone 🌟 Giacomo Falcone is Tenure-Track Assistant Professor on Agricultural and Food Economics and Rural Appraisal at the Department of Agriculture of the "Mediterranea" University of Reggio Calabria (UNIRC). Read more below 👇👇👇

He obtained his Ph.D. in Rural Economics and Appraisal in 2013 and his research activity has focused on the assessment of environmental, economic and social sustainability of agri-food and agro-industrial production processes through the integrated use of life-cycle tools.

He has participated in numerous research projects and is currently the coordinator of the Agro-Food and Agro-Industrial Working Group of the Italian LCA Network Association.

💧 Giacomo Falcone’s Role in Waterline 💧 In the WATERLINE project, Giacomo is part of the UNIRC team responsible for the implementation of an e-learning course on LCA methodology and water footprint assessment as part of Task 3.2 of WP 3.

Its experience in the application of life cycle tools will contribute to enhancing knowledge on the assessment of environmental impacts and water consumption. Giacomo is part of the WATERLINE Editorial Board and is responsible for managing the social channels. #WaterlineProject
