Consortium assembled on excellence, multi-disciplinarity, and balanced participation of RTD, SMEs and water stakeholders

Athena is an RTD organization and ICT integrator focused on diverse data-intensive research (Coordinator)

Bamberg has multi-disciplinary research and applied experience in interventions for resource consumption

Amphiro is a unique SME with domestic water monitoring products

Fraunhofer ISI has theoretical and practical experience in water demand modeling and sustainability

Waterwise is a leader on social empowerment for water preservation

AMAEM is a water utility with heightened water management challenges

Motivation

M o t i v a t i o n

Let’s see how we moni tor consumption for electrici ty

Smart meters wi th highly granular data, low-cost off the self moni toring devices, multiple services to convey knowledge, i ntegrated in smart homes and mobi le devices

ICT4Water 2015

M o t i v a t i o n

How about water?

Aggregated data every few months, sing le point metering, no personal moni toring, paper bi l ls and reports, stagnant stakeholders “ i f i t ain ’t broke, don’t f ix i t ”

ICT4Water 2015

M o t i v a t i o n

Electrici ty & Water do not mix

ICT4Water 2015

M o t i v a t i o n

Is the smart water meter enough?

o How do I measure hot water consumption? [energy]

o How do I measure consumption at the point of use? [stimuli, types]

o Is ‘real-time’ truly real-time? [latency, detail]

o How are data transmitted to end-user interfaces? [stimuli]

o Who pays for the SWM? [shared-investments? ROI?]

Smart water meters (SWM) are complementary but not enough; they cover sing le point metering but not moni toring.

ICT4Water 2015

M o t i v a t i o n

We don’t have detai led water consumption data, nor the means to exploi t i t

Water Demand Management is based on highly aggregated data and crude assumptions providing limi ted insights (who, when, where, why, what)

ICT4Water 2015

Interventions and stimuli for water consumption sti l l paper-based and at best electronic versions of highly aggregated information

M o t i v a t i o n

We need the data f irst!

o Create real-time and detailed water consumption data

o Devise means to manage and extract knowledge

o Create interventions and stimuli that exploit this knowledge

o Apply new data and insights in WDM

ICT4Water 2015

Welcome to DAIAD

The DAIAD approach

N e g o t i a t i o n b r i e f

Naiads o In Greek mythology, Naiads were

nymphs that presided over fountains, wells, springs, and other bodies of freshwater

o Each Naiad protected a specific fresh water source, e.g. Limnades (for lakes) and Potameides (for rivers)

Who is DAIAD?

Data + Naiad = Daiad! o A new type of fresh water

nymph, called Daiad, which symbolizes the project’s objectives

o Daiad presides in all residential water sources, monitoring every drop of water, guiding humans towards a water saving culture, and ensuring that water is well used 10/9/2013

T h e D A I A D a p p r o a c h

Our idea

o Decouple metering from monitoring

o Consumers self-adopt low-cost water monitoring

o Harness this data and knowledge for stakeholders

o Make consumers the foundation for sustainable changes in water use

ICT4Water 2015

Empower Consumers

T h e D A I A D a p p r o a c h

Our objectives

o Develop low cost real-time, multi-point water consumption monitoring

o Research consumer-oriented and intuitive knowledge delivery mediums

o Research and develop big data management for large scale, real-time water consumption data

o Devise and support novel resource/demand management strategies, including corresponding pricing and incentive schemes

o Perform extensive and in depth real life user trials

DAIAD @ feel will provide the missing real-time water consumption data. You simply install it in a water faucet once, no power needed. Just use water as you normally do and get instant data!

Low cost, real-time water moni toring

ICT4Water 2015

T h e D A I A D S y s t e m

DAIAD@home will convert water consumption data to knowledge for consumers and utilities. A simple piece of software, install once and forget!

Consumer analysis and recommendation services

ICT4Water 2015

T h e D A I A D S y s t e m

DAIAD@commons will empower consumers through social innovation towards sustainability. Share your water consumption data with others, form a community, and gain insights together

Manage and analyse water consumption for groups

ICT4Water 2015

T h e D A I A D S y s t e m

DAIAD@utility will enable the application of real-time water consumption data towards novel Water Demand Management strategies. Use highly-granular water consumption data to overhaul water management and pricing

Manage and analyse water consumption for WDM and stakeholders

ICT4Water 2015

T h e D A I A D S y s t e m

DAIAD@know will convey knowledge to consumers to induce behavioral change. Mobile phone, tablet, or a web application? Pick your favorite and get insights on your water consumption.
