GOOD PRACTICE

OBJECTIVES

Establish exhaustive control and efficient management of the entire water supply chain, from its incorporation into the network to its provision at the different points of consumption.

DESCRIPTION OF ACTIONS CARRIED OUT

Piloting of an IOT platform as a key structural element for asset monitoring (irrigation elements, public toilet, water tank, storm tank, underground container). The platform provides possibilities for monitoring, remote operation, alert generation and actions derived from the alerts. It is a transversal tool that in the medium term will expand the strategic, tactical and operational possibilities of the services.

Application to the monitoring of water consumption. There are controlled elements (domestic consumption) and others that are not controlled (leaks, sources of consumption, hydrants). Establishment of key indicators, such as pressure, water quality levels or availability index. Monitoring of 22 facilities (tanks and pumping stations) and generation of advanced analyses, reports and alerts.

KEY SUCCESS FACTORS

• Establishment of a horizontal IOT platform for sensor connectivity.
• Incorporation of new data sources.
• Definition of KPIs, monitoring of the same, establishment of thresholds, generation of alerts.
• Massive and advanced data analysis.

MAIN RESULTS ACHIEVED

• Comprehensive knowledge of the behaviour of the supply network.
• Early and accurate detection of leaks (even before water surfaces).
• Inference of unrecorded water consumption
• Dynamic mapping of water abstraction for specific services to influence water quality improvement.
