In the context of the Water Innovation Europe 2018 Conference “The road towards a Water-Smart Society: Overcoming the Water challenges of the future”, the team of the SmartH2O project, led at Polimi by Andrea Castelletti and Piero Fraternali, was assigned the Digital Water Award.
The WssTP annual conference ‘Water Innovation Europe’ brings together all the aspects of the water sector: scientists and technology developers, utility representatives, large water users, European and national/regional policy makers, and finance experts. The winners of this edition have been identified for their excellence and the high market potential of their innovations.
The SmartH20 platform is a data-driven demand management solution that enables utilities to include customers in the efficiency loop. SmartH20 integrates multiple methods and tools, which put to work high spatiotemporal resolution data gathered via intelligent water flow meters: data analytics for water demand profiling and end-use dissagregation, automated customer community segmentation, agent-based modelling, near real-time data visualization to customers and utility managers, customer engagement through real and digital games.
SmartH20 brings together two emerging market drivers into an innovative solution: digitalization and the social media revolution.
