Harvesting the Value of Data: A Data Architectural Smart Solutions Approach for Enabling Digital Water

“The development of smart water solutions for our water infrastructure is a rapidly advancing topic within the water sector. Over the past decade, more and more water utilities, research institutes, and the private sector are pursuing the development of solutions that enables the end- user to monitor, automate and identify the optimised control of key processes in water and wastewater infrastructures. These key and enabling technologies are being viewed as a necessity in order to tackle the extreme water challenges we face globally due to the harmful effects of climate change. Additionally, the rapid advancement in the fields of Internet of Things (IoT), advanced sensors, data analytics, Business Intelligence (BI), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) – has led to a major transition of the water sector and towards a more digitally enhanced and data- centric ecosystem.”
