Overview
InnWater is a Horizon Europe project promoting social innovation in multi-level water governance within the WEFE nexus (Water–Energy–Food–Ecosystem). I contributed as AI Engineer/System Architect at Eurecat, designing the Water Governance Diagnosis Tool and AI Assistant integrated into the platform.
🔍 Water Governance Diagnosis Tool
Water Governance Diagnosis Results and assessment.
Digitized the OECD Water Governance Principles into a structured analytics pipeline:
- Interactive questionnaire for governance assessment
- Quantitative scoring engine with classification:
- Governance Gap (< 1.75)
- Moderate Governance (< 2.70)
- Strong Governance (> 2.70)
- Results dashboard with interpretability layer
- Integration with CGE economic simulation model
The tool converts qualitative governance inputs into reproducible, policy-oriented outputs.
🤖 AI Assistant – RAG-based Support
Water Governance Assistant.
Designed and implemented a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture to support governance navigation:
Architecture:
- Query treatment module
- Hierarchical retrieval over indexed project deliverables
- Embedding-based semantic search
- LLM response generation grounded in validated documents
- Logging & evaluation (golden dataset benchmarking)
Capabilities:
- Explains OECD governance principles
- Interprets governance scores
- Suggests policy improvements
- Connects governance gaps with economic scenarios
- Multilingual interaction
⚖ Ethical & Trustworthy AI
Implemented safeguards aligned with EU AI Act, GDPR, and ALTAI framework:
- Citation-grounded generation
- Bias validation datasets
- Toxicity classifier
- Multilingual fairness evaluation
- Transparent AI disclaimers
Impact
- Operationalized governance theory into AI-supported digital infrastructure
- Enabled non-expert stakeholders to interpret complex water governance data
- Bridged governance assessment with economic modeling
- Demonstrated responsible AI deployment in public-sector decision support
