FutureLakes pilots 10 innovative restoration solutions across Europe at operational scale. These pilots aim to restore ecosystems, reduce pollution and address the long-term impact of legacy sediment.
Each pilot is carefully evaluated using policy-relevant indicators and technical performance metrics, alongside assessments of cost-effectiveness. Monitoring focuses on:
Together, these evaluations provide practical evidence on how innovative restoration solutions perform in real lake systems and how they can be applied in other lakes across Europe.
A full technical assessment report on all 10 pilots will be available in autumn 2026.
