Objective ICT-2011.6.3 ICT for efficient water resources management
Water management enabled by ICT is a new and promising area with the objective to integrate real-time knowledge on demand and supply across water distribution networks and water sources. The work to be done calls for partnerships between ICT equipment providers, software companies and water authorities.
Targeted outcomes:
ICT-enabled solutions for integrated water resources management (IWRM), involving as key building blocks: innovative demand management systems, decision support systems and data management technologies.
The proposed ICT solutions shall involve robust and proven technologies permitting a holistic approach towards IWRM, and possibly include new data management technologies with realtime predictive capability demand forecasting, advanced metering, real-time communication of consumption patterns, adaptive pricing, and/or combined energy and water management schemes.
Projects should cover (i) research and innovative integration of solutions, (ii) substantial validation of these in at least two real-life operational environments in collaboration with responsible water authorities and utilities, and (iii) evaluation of their anticipated cost and benefits and market prospects.
Consortia must be compact with partners each making substantial contributions.
Expected impact:
- New partnerships between European water distributors, water management equipment suppliers and the ICT sector.
- Enhanced supervision of water networks leading to better management of supply and flows, and quantifiable water consumption reduction.
