THE CHALLENGE
Water resources are under stress due to:• Climate change• Urbanisation• Increased world population• Aging Infrastructure• Resource demand• Water Scarcity
How can ICT help in securing access to sufficient and safe water?
Some facts:• 20-40% of Europe’s water is
being wasted due to poor infrastructure and inefficient consumption
• 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

OPPORTUNITY FOR ICT IN WATER
The worldwide market for two-way smart meters was worth $575 million at the end of 2013 and is expected to increase to $1.1 billion in 2019. Managed services, analytics and smart water network adoption are all
combining to accelerate growth, IHS Technology said.

DRIVERS OF CONVERGENCE OF ICT
Internet of Things (IoT) - global network of sensors, equipment, appliances, and other
objects;
Big Data – 4 V’s of Big Data;
Machine to Machine Communication (M2M) –enabling this global IoT network to
communicate in real-time;
Cloud Computing – IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS

Waternomics Start: February 2014 Duration: 36 months Call: FP7-ICT-2013-11 Budget: €4.287M Consortium: 9 partners Countries: 4 SMEs: 4 Pilots: 3
KEY FACTS ABOUT ICT4WATER
@WATERNOMICS_EU www.waternomics.eu7
WATERNOMICS GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Objectives• Development of a water information platform together with relevant
tools and services to support ICT-enabled water management programs;• To introduce demand response and accountability principles (water
footprint) in the water sector;• To engage consumers in new interactive and personalized ways that
raise awareness of water efficiency and leads to changes in water behaviours, using airports, schools and public buildings as pilot examples;
• To develop novel tools and methodologies for leak detection, drought prediction and automated fault detection in order to support smart water management;
• To make possible new water pricing options, business models and policy actions by combining water availability and consumption data.
WATERNOMICS will provide personalised and actionableinformation on water consumption and water availability to individual households, companies and cities in an intuitive & effective manner at relevant time-scales for decision making

• Metering - Identify, inform and gain consent of user-base;
• Metrics - metrics for both utilities and consumers
• Management - Link the Waternomics Platform to the Utility database;
• Tariffs - gain feedback on feasibility and efficiency of flexible tariffing;
• Accessibility - Feedback from utilities and consumers on: interaction with the system and ease of data accessibility;
• Awareness - raising user awareness or water consumption, and changes in consumer behaviour.
• Technical – sensor locations, data and communication architecture on a large site (e.g. minimal metering)
• Reporting – relevant KPI’s;• Economical – Cost/Benefits• Business Model – new services
and value proposition;• Improved management and
processes;• Certifications for energy and
water efficiency• Savings – real-time data to inform
(i) novel business models, (ii) fault/leak detection, (iii) water network optimisation;
• Corporate image – CSR and public awareness
• Awareness - test bed for user awareness and gamification, Involve younger audience in water issues
• Education - Use pilots as a means to engage students (e.g. data analysis, app development, research projects etc.)
• Efficiency - Save water and energy• Management - Enable more
efficient water management• System operation - Fault detection
and diagnosis

Q - Where in my building is water consumed the most?
Q - Who uses those facilities?
Q - How much water can I afford to consume next month?
Q - What about hot water?
