List and short description of EC funded FP7 projects participating at the special sessions on Thursday 23 October 2014

Section 1: The ten “sister” projects - ICT for Water Management (EC-FP7-DG Connect)-ICT4WATER group

Group A: Projects that started in (late 2012-early 2013)

4. EFFINET (www.effinet.eu)

EFFINET project addresses three main problems in urban water systems: optimal operational control, real-time monitoring and demand forecasting. Real-time optimal control deals with operating the main flow and

pressure actuators to meet demands using the most sustainable sources and minimizing electricity costs through model predictive control techniques. Real-time monitoring of water quantity and quality refers to the

detection and location of leakage and water quality breaches. Demand forecasting is based on smart metering techniques and includes modeling of consumption patterns as well as a service of communication to

consumers. The project aims to develop an integrated software platform with all above-described functionalities to be deployed in two real-life pilots in Barcelona (Spain) and Limassol (Cyprus).

5. ICeWater (www.icewater-project.eu )

ICeWater will increase the stability of freshwater supply to citizens in ur­ban areas by adjusting the water supply to the actual consumption, while minimizing energy consumption through smart-grid integration and water

spillage through leak de­tec­tion. ICeWater uses wireless sensor networks for water flow monitoring and it provides a decision support system for the water utilities so that supply and demand patterns can be matched

in real-time. As an additional benefit, leakage can be predicted with statistical methods so that water network damages can be mended even before they occur (fix-before-break). ICeWater uses wireless sensors of

various types to provide real-time monitoring of water supply and demand. Based on the sensor data, decision support systems facilitate optimization of the water grid network operation (pumping schedules, pressure

etc.). The demand management and consumption information is accessible online to the relevant actors in the water supply chain (including consumers) and allows dynamic pricing schemes with nudge-pricing to

motivate behavioral change in customers causing critical consumption patterns.

6. iWIDGET (www.iwidget.eu)

iWIDGET is an EU FP7 funded project (2012-2015), aiming to advance knowledge and understanding about smart metering technologies in order to develop novel, robust, practical and cost-effective methodologies

and tools to manage urban water demand in households across Europe. The main scientific challenges for iWIDGET are the management and extraction of useful information from vast amounts of high-resolution

consumption data, the development of customised intervention and awareness campaigns to influence behavioural change, and the integration of iWIDGET concepts into a set of decision-support tools (‘widgets’) for

water utilities and consumers, applicable in differing local conditions, in three case studies in the UK, Portugal and Greece.

7. WatERP (www.waterp-fp7.eu)

The WatERP project proposes the development of an integrated management system which enables water efficiency and energy consumption to be improved throughout the water supply distribution chain. To that end,

the subsystems that are consuming, managing or producing water, and which nowadays normally rely on separate monitoring and control solutions, will be interconnected through an open ICT architecture among

themselves as well as to external third party applications. WatERP develops an intelligent architecture, based on OGC® standards to enable information/knowledge exchange, harmonizing existing protocols and tools,

combining a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) with a Multi Agent System (SOA-MAS) and complements it with a Water Management Ontology (WMO). In addition. WatERP enables improved matching of water

supply and demand from a holistic point of view, pursuing 2 objectives: (i) improving coordination and (ii) fostering behavioural change to reduce water and energy consumption.

8. UrbanWater (www.urbanwater-ict.eu )

The UrbanWater project will develop and demonstrated an innovative ICT-based platform for efficient and integrated management of urban water resources. The developed system will integrated high quality and

already proven solutions for data management and billing systems with innovative models for forecasting water supply availability, predicting customers' demand and detecting leakages. All these components will be

integrated in an open and flexible software platform that will be the central node of the developed system. Furthermore, the project will develop innovative solutions to empower customers and efficiently integrate them

in the UrbanWater open platform.

Group B: projects that started in late 2013-early 2014

9. DAIAD (http://daiad.imis.athena-innovation.gr/ )

DAIAD is an FP7 research project addressing the challenge of improving the management of water resources through real-time knowledge of water consumption in order to improve societal awareness, induce

sustainable changes in consumer behavior, and explore new water demand management strategies. DAIAD constitutes an innovative approach for addressing the challenge of efficient water management through real-

time knowledge of residential water consumption. Our goal is to research and develop innovative low cost, inclusive technologies for real-time, high granularity water monitoring and knowledge extraction. We will devise

multi-modal feedback interfaces, recommendation, and analysis services to communicate knowledge and incur behavioural changes to consumers in residential settings. We will apply Big Data management and

analysis technologies to provide efficient management and analysis of real-time water consumption data, as well as multiple relevant data sources. This will enable water stakeholders to gain novel insight and explore

the hidden correlations of the parameters that shape water demand strategies and pricing, thus leading to more efficient water management.

10. ISS-EWATUS (http://issewatus.eu/)

ISS-EWATUS project, funded by EU FP7, is a common effort of researchers from water resource management and ICT aiming to design and develop an intelligent Integrated Support System for Efficient WATer

USage. The decision support system will be implemented to reduce leaks in water delivery system and to decrease water consumption at household level. Also a social media platform is planned to reinforce water-

saving behaviour by linking consumers with experts of water-saving techniques. Finally, an adaptive pricing policy will be proposed as an economic instrument to induce water-saving behaviour. The project is validated

in two Case studies in in the city of Sosnowiec in Poland and the highly touristic island of Skiathos in Greece.

11. SmartH20 (www.smarth2o-fp7.eu )

SmartH2O is an EU FP7 funded project that builds an ICT platform to apply social computing, data analysis and demand forecast, and flexible pricing to improve residential water consumption. We will proactively

engage citizens by means of cooperative awareness tools, such as water consumption profiling and feedback, persuasive games for behaviour change, and computer-supported community work. Results will be

deployed in two challenging use cases, in London (UK) and Locarno (CH), potentially reaching millions of users

12. WATERNOMICS (http://waternomics.eu/)

The goal of the WATERNOMICS project is to provide personalised and actionable interactive water services to individual households, companies and cities in an intuitive and effective manner at a time-scale relevant

for decision making. Access to this information will increase end-user awareness and improve the quality of the decisions from decision makers regarding water management and water government. WATERNOMICS

will accomplish this by: (a) Combining water usage related information from various sources and domains to offer water information services to end-users, (b) Making water usage related information accessible

across devices, locations, and communities of users, and (c) Supporting personalised interaction with water information services. WATERNOMICS will use both new and state of the art sensors and water meters to

provide new services (applications) and add new features like leakage detection, fault detection and water awareness games. These services will be bundled into the WATERNOMICS Water Information Services

Platform, or short name, WATERNOMICS Platform, which will be able to integrate (convergence layer) on top of existing water infrastructures.

13. WISDOM (www.wisdom-project.eu)

The FP7 WISDOM project aims to achieve a step change in water (and energy) savings via the integration of innovative Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) frameworks to optimize water distribution

networks and to enable change in consumer behaviour through innovative demand management and adaptive pricing schemes. The WISDOM approach couples sensor monitoring and communication systems with

semantic modelling (using ontologies, to serve as intelligent linkages throughout the entire framework) and control capabilities to provide for near real-time management of urban water resources. The WISDOM

framework will be modelled and simulated with initial testing at an experimental facility in France and in water facilities in Cardiff (UK) and La Spezia (Italy). These demonstrators will evaluate the integrated concept

providing insight for wider adoption.

Section 2: Other projects/groups

14. ALMANAC: http://www.almanac-project.eu/news.php

The FP7 ALMANAC Project aims to create an ICT platform for the development of innovative applications for the Smart City. The platform is based on innovative technologies produced in Italy such as communications

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Capillary Networks (pervasive urban networks based on short-range radio protocols), developed by the Telecom Lab Italy in Turin and fully integrated with the networks of new

generation of ultra-broadband fixed and mobile optical fiber and LTE (Long Term Evolution). Solutions for the "Internet of Things" developed by ISMB (Boella research center based in Turin) will allow devices and

heterogeneous systems and the citizens themselves to be interconnected and become the engine of innovation of the smart city of the future. In the ALMANAC Project context two applications will be developed for the

city of Turin: smart water distribution and smart waste management.

The solution for smart water distribution will be developed in the laboratories of Telecom Italy Turin to be introduced later in the specific areas of the town water supply, thanks to the involvement of SMAT, through the

City of Turin. The application will enable and provide smart water services like: smart metering and quality of the water measurements leveraging on the capillary network developed by Telecom Italia and on the smart

city platform developed by the Consortium of the Project that includes: ISMB, Telecom Italy and Turin City council as Italian partners; two important European research centers (German Fraunhofer Institute and Danish

Alexandra Institute) and two very innovative SMEs (danish In-Jet and swedish CNET).

distribution systems, pressure management represents a cost-effective way to reduce water loss (NRW),

improve energy efficiency and reduce operation and maintenance costs.

Furthermore, proven benefits also include water utility and customer benefits from the reduced numbers of

bursts and leaks, for example from reduced repair and reinstatement costs, reduced public liability and

adverse publicity, reduced costs of active leakage control, deferred infrastructure renewals and extended

asset life of mains and service connections.

Best Practices and results from the field

This special session at IWA WaterIDEAS will explain and demonstrate the benefits of pressure management

based on the latest research, best practice and results worldwide, also where Demand Driven Distribution is

installed. This Grundfos solution resolves the issues outlined above and these are presented in detail in our

White Paper, which will be available at the session.

Results from the “Global Green Growth Forum” (3GF) Network for Water Leakage Initiative will also be

presented, based on several workshops – facilitated by the Danish Government – held in various part of the

world.

Speakers include Marco Fantozzi of the IWA and a leading consultant in water loss management and Dr.

Carsten Kallesoe, a Grundfos R&D expert on water control systems. Morten Riis, Business Development

Manager at Grundfos, will facilitate discussion following the presentations.

Special session on advanced pressure management

At IWA WaterIDEAS, experts from the water sector will show how pressure management resolves water

resource management issues facing water utilities, illustrated with examples of best practice and results

from the Grundfos Demand Driven Distribution solution.

Chairs: Cor Merks, ARCADIS Nederland BV & Allan Lambert, Water Loss Research and Analysis Ltd (WLRandA Ltd) Structure: Presentation of the EU Reference document Good Practices on Leakage Reduction, by Cor Merks followed by the presentation of the "best practice" case studies included in the report made by the experts which contributed to the case studies: Maarten Torbeyns (Dewatergroep, Belgium), Jurica Kovac (Croatia), Francesco Calza and Marco Fantozzi (IREN Reggio Emilia, Italy), Andrew Donnelly (EPAL Lisbon, Portugal), Stuart Trow (Scottish Water, UK), Joerg Koelbl (Salzburg, Austria), Bambos Charalambous (WBL Lemesos, Cyprus) and Stephen Galea St John (WSC Malta). DESCRIPTION OF THE: EU REFERENCE DOCUMENT GOOD PRACTICES ON LEAKAGE REDUCTION The European Commission (EC) published the report Resource and Economic Efficiency of Water Distribution Networks in the EU (Final REE Report) in October 2013. The report describes the consolidated findings and analysis of a series of case studies on leakage and resource efficiency of water utilities across the European Union (EU). One of the suggested options to achieve the implementation of the policy recommendations and other international advances in this subject into EC water policy is via the development of a reference document, to be published in October 2014, on good practices on leakage reduction through a working group under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) Common Implementation Strategy (CIS). The working group is currently developing these Good Practices on Leakage Reduction, a reference document intended to help guide policies that improve efficient water use by utilities throughout the EU. The production of this reference document is a joint effort by Member States, stakeholders and the drafting group with policy makers, economists, environmental experts, renowned Non-Revenue Water experts including members of the IWA Water Loss Specialist Group. The (voluntary) members of the drafting group contribute to the reference document by means of quality controlled case studies on strategies, methodologies, tools and (practical) performance indicators for NRW management by water utilities throughout the EU. The need for leakage reduction from various perspectives is addressed, enabling all key stakeholders to focus on the most efficient methodology and measures. Policy options and requirements are identified as well as funding requirements. The key sequences of activities in different contexts are provided. The final methodology will allow for different sets of starting points and different drivers for change. Recommended practices for measurement and reporting of levels of leakage are documented by renowned experts. Recommended practices are provided for pressure management, active leakage control (leak monitoring and localisation, leak location and pinpointing), improving speed and quality of repairs, and infrastructure management. Allan Lambert and Stuart Trow are principal advisers (voluntary) for this project and they are also members of the drafting group for the document. Cor Merks (ARCADIS Nederland BV) is coordinating consultant for this EU reference document. The presentation of the document will be made by Cor Merks, on behalf of the working group, and will provide an update on progress with the development of the document.

SWAN Workshop: Smart water in the Smart City Wednesday 22 October 2014 h. 10:00 - Venue: Room Reno

Smart Cities are becoming a reality around the world, as leaders and regulators embrace technology and innovation to meet the ir cities’ growing infrastructure needs and sustainability goals.

What role is water, arguably the most important of all services provided by a city, playing in the smart city?

Join us for the SWAN Workshop in Bologna to:

Hear from utilities around the world engaged in different stages of smart city planning. What are the opportunities as well as challenges and obstacles that need to be overcome?

Hear from technology providers whose technologies are being implemented as part of a smart city plan or an integrated water network.

Hear about the vision for the smart city as a platform for improving customer service and city sustainability into the future.

SWAN events bring together the key voices from across the industry. To get a sense of their value, see some of the feedback from SWAN’s recent Annual Conference in Madrid.
