PILOTS
@WATERNOMICS_EU
WATERNOMICS will be demonstrated in fourhigh impact pilots that target three differentend users/stakeholders.Waternomics for Domestic UsageMunicipality of Thermi, Greece
Waternomics for Corporate UsageLinate Airport, Milan, Italy
Waternomics for MunicipalitiesGalway City, Ireland
Homes (single residence,apartments and complexes)in a water stressed region
Installing a water manage-ment system in the mainterminal of a signature EUairport
Decision making tools andsupport to public buildingsand public assets
WATERNOMICS equiped all pilot sites withsensors linked to a single smart water plat-form. With this smart water system, WA-TERNOMICS applications are being tested.

RESULTSAPPROACHTHE WATER CHALLENGE
OBJECTIVES
Studies carried out by the European Commis-sion have identified that a significant part ofEurope suffers from water stress, that thecumulative impacts of economic developmentand climate change are likely to aggravate thesituation in many areas where water stressalready exists and that further significantparts of Europe are likely to be affected in thefuture.
The same studies identified a very significantpotential for water savings in Europe throughimproved water efficiency, in particular inagriculture, buildings and water distributionsystems. It is estimated that between 20-40% of Europe’s water is being wasted.
WATERNOMICS will provide personalized andactionable information on water consumptionand water availability to individual house-holds, companies and cities in an intuitive &effective manner at relevant time-scales fordecision making. Project objectives include:● Introduce demand response and ac-
countability principles in the water sector● Engage consumers in new interactive and
personalized ways that bring water effi-ciency to the forefront and leads to changesin water behaviours
● Empower corporate decision makers andmunicipal area managers with a waterinformation platform
@WATERNOMICS_EU
The project is still ongoing but the first resultshave become available. Results range fromnew sensor technology, the water informationplatform with novel applications to the meth-odology and new business models and valuepropositions. In the final stage, results will bevalidated technologically as well as economi-cally in the four pilots or with relevant busi-ness partners.
