Scientists and managers join forces to save Tablas de Daimiel from the brink: from digital twin to restoration

A digital twin of the Tablas de Daimiel wetlands is being used to inform restoration efforts.

The Tablas de Daimiel wetlands in Spain are facing severe water scarcity and habitat degradation. To address these issues, scientists and managers have joined forces to create a digital twin of the ecosystem. The digital twin is a virtual replica of the wetlands, which is being used to simulate the effects of different restoration scenarios. This allows researchers to identify the most effective strategies for restoring the ecosystem and improving water quality.

The digital twin is being used in conjunction with traditional restoration methods, such as the removal of invasive species and the restoration of natural water flows. By combining these approaches, researchers hope to create a more resilient and sustainable ecosystem.

The project is a collaboration between the Spanish government, local authorities, and research institutions. It highlights the potential of digital twins to inform and improve environmental restoration efforts.
