Why do we need integration? We do not cross all data to be smarter or to have more information. Neither to demonstrate that we are able, nor for people to talk about us and not even to portray a good public image. We integrate all data to improve water management.
Real-time monitoring of asset condition for preventive maintenance
Real-time pressure and water quality monitoring to enhance planning and network operations
The quantification of leakages is done (DMAs, algorithms)
Real-time water consumption information to help customers conserve water (avoid wastage)
Automated reporting tools
According to our know-how, ACCIONA AGUA has identified five major hurdles on the road to application of Smart Water Management:
lack of integrated and open solutions
difficulty to comply with all user requirements
lack of validated business cases for solutions
Conservatism
Lack of political and regulatory support
They become evident in these 3 obstacles to overcome…
…
2.The key obstacle (bottle neck) is not the data storage: information systems that can store and manage large volumes of data do not pose as much of problem as does the question of what water service providers will do with all this data.
...
According to our know-how, if push comes to shove, we summerizes the market like that…
Demand key trend: water scarcity
Business drivers:
-Regulation. Utilities around the globe are facing differing pressure from regulators, ranging from water quality regulations in regions like the US to efficiency improvements in the UK. The need to comply with changing regulatory demands is serving to force utilities to look for new avenues to address their varying issues. The adoption of SWNs may be the only viable option for utilities to remain in compliance, especially where strict targets or time frames are instituted.
-Reputation. People tend to conform to social norms. When sustainability is the social norm, people expect organisations to conform to this new norm as well. Organisations need to act according to the social norms of their customer base. Maintaining or creating an innovative reputation was for some public water utilities a reason to start smart meter programs or deploy other smart water technologies
-Security of water supplies. utilities are struggling to ensure water supplies into the future. Supply/demand balance calculations are essential for utilities to meet future water demands. SWN solutions can improve overall efficiencies in the network operations and reduce wastage by allowing the use of in-depth data (historical and real time) to provide better granularity on the network, for improved forecasting and modelling purposes. With better data, there can be better planning and more options for securing future supplies.
-Savings and services: The smart city idea is looking at the synergies between smart energy, smart infrastructure, smart water, smart wastewater, smart river basin management, etc., to create an improved and integrated city that runs efficiently. In particular, due to the activity of the smart energy grid industry, they have paved the way for the development of the smart water concept. The benefits and efficiencies they are achieving are serving as a template for use by their sister utility (water) and are promoting the use of innovation provided by SWN solutions.
