Where water supplymeets demand

www.waterp-fp7.eu

presents a new concept to exchange supplyand consumption knowledge acrossthe entire water supply distribution chain.It will thus provide a major contribution to:

1. Improve coordination among actors,

2. Foster behavioural change,

3. Reduce water and energy consumption,

4. Optimize water accountability and

5. Move forward water management in line  with the Water Framework Directive (WFD)

Facilities multiple-scalable decisions

By enabling a more

dynamic and agile

interaction among

the different actors

involved in water supply

distribution, WatERP

improves water

governance while

maintaining the

autonomy and

independance

of the actors.

While 40% water savings could be achieved fromtechnological improvements, this value is the sumof a series of different actions. It can be roughlyestimated that improving coordination among actorscould lead to water savings between 5 and 8%,with smart metering providing an additional 8 to 10%.

WatERP technological solution gives responseto the coordination among actors buildinga smart water solution.

Web-based “Open Management Platform”supported by an standarized ICT framework which provides real-time decision knowledgeon water supply and demand, enablingthe entire water distribution system to be viewed in an integrated and customizedway, and contributing to improve matchingof water supply and demand from a holistic point of view.
