Project co-funded by the European Commission within the 7th Framework Program (Grant Agreement No. 619660)

ICT FOR WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Presented by Wassim Derguech

@WATERNOMICS_EU www.waternomics.eu2

THE CHALLENGE

Water resources are under stress because of:• Climate change• Urbanisation• Increased world population• Resource demand• Water Scarcity• Need for resource security & supply

The question: How can ICT help in securing access to sufficient and safe water?


THE WATER CHALLENGE

• Global energy and water demand is expected to rise 40% over the next 20 years

• By 2025, 1.8 billion people will live in water scarce regions and two thirds subjected to water stress

• 20-40% of Europe’s water is being wasted

•Water supply and sanitation is a large energy consumer. –Represents 19% of electricity and 30% of natural gas

consumption in California


THE PROGRAM

ICT for Water• 10 projects;• Timeline: 2012 – 2017;• Total budget: ~40 million euro;• Contribution EC: 29 million euro.

• DAIAD• ISS-EWATUS• SmartH2O• WISDOM


▶ Type of project: Collaborative project▶ Project start date: February 2014▶ Duration: 36 months▶ Call: FP7-ICT-2013-11▶ Effort: 416 PM▶ Budget: €4.287M▶ Max EC contribution: €2.905M▶ Grant No.: 619660▶ Consortium: 9 partners▶ Countries: 4▶ SMEs: 4▶ Pilots: 3

KEY FACTS ABOUT WATERNOMICS


Concrete Objectives

• To engage consumers in new interactive and personalized ways that bring water efficiency to the forefront and leads to changes in water behaviours

• To empower corporate decision makers and municipal area managers with a water information platform together with relevant tools and methodologies to enact ICT-enabled water management programs

• To promote ICT enabled water awareness using airports and water utilities as pilot examples

• To make possible new water pricing options and policy actions by combining water availability and consumption data

WATERNOMICS will provide personalized and actionable information on water consumption and water availability to

individual households, companies and cities in an intuitive & effective manner at relevant time-scales for decision making

KEY

OUTCO

MES

• Identify, inform and gain consent of user-base;

• Detail assessment metrics;• Link the Waternomics

Platform to the Utility database;

• Gain feedback on feasibility and efficiency of flexible tariffing;

• Feedback from utilities and consumers on: personalised interaction with the system and ease of data accessibility;

• Evaluate efficacy of system in raising user awareness of water consumption, and changes in consumer behaviour.

• Technical – sensor locations, data and communication architecture;

• Reporting – relevant KPI’s;• Economical – Cost/Benefit

analysis;• Business Model – new

services and value proposition;• Management and processes;• Certifications;• Savings – attributable savings

based on availability of real-time water data for (i) novel business models, (ii) fault/leak detection, (iii) water network optimisation;

• Corporate image– CSR;• Public Awareness.

• Assess current SOTA metering and billing methodologies;

• Detailed monitoring of usage characteristics;

• Conduct data analysis / assessment

• Implement and test leak and fault detection strategies;

• Implement public water feedback and visualisation dashboard;

• Test gamification system and gather feedback from users.

CHILDHOOD OF APPS (M4-M8)

•Round table discussions• Interviews with stakeholders•Technical meetings at pilots• Initial ideas


•Features list•Scenarios draft for D1.1•Paper prototypes•And 2 comic scenarios

APPS BECOME TEENAGERS (M7-M9)

http://www.pixton.com/comic/9bptmkel


APPS ENTER THEIR 20’S (M9-M11)

•User tests–24 users involved–11 hours of discussions–3 languages

•Many ideas tested–Some were rejected, others evolved

and some new ones came up

•Apps start to face reality


APPS IN THEIR 30’S (M10-TODAY)

•All partners involved•First working prototypes•Support from Dataspace

KEY OUTCOMES

•A “One size fits all” solution cannot help•But there are many common features among user types and pilots•So, how can we serve them all?–Provide an apps marketplace to select apps you need–Suggest apps based on user’s profile –Categorize apps based on needs and a business value chain (Monitor -> Learn -> Act -> Benchmark)
