Newsletter #01 | October 2025 

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the AQUAGRI-KNOW newsletter, dedicated to promoting sustainable water management across Europe. Our project has just begun, but we already have important achievements to share, as well as an introduction to what you can expect in each of our quarterly newsletters.

These will not only bring project updates, but also a wide range of resources to inform and inspire. Everything is carefully curated to keep you engaged with innovative solutions in water management. 

In this edition, you will find all the project launches, including our website and YouTube channel, the first project articles, events, resources, and even how the press has been covering the start of our activities.
