Improving water management efficiency is essential due to the growing exposure of European countries to water
shortage and periods of drought.

Among the European projects imple- implementation possibilities: FP7 Urban
mented in 2015, the following stand Water, Eco Innovation CleanWater, Life
out for their innovative capacity and Remembrane and Life Methamorphosis.

FP7 UrbanWater

UrbanWater, international project with backing from the EU and lead by Aqualia, proposes the development of a platform
based on information and communication technology that helps to optimise water management through innovative systems
aimed at detecting leaks, decision support systems, consumption predictions and water availability.

The project uses advanced remote reading and measuring solutions, which are made available to users on the UrbanWater,
website, allowing them to check their water consumption in real-time and change their habits to achieve a more optimised
and mindful use of water. This platform benefits both citizens and public services by helping to reduce water loss in the
distribution network, dropping energy and maintenance costs, and optimising the end-to-end water management service
by adjusting the supply to the demand.

The project has been tried and tested in Almeria and Janovice (Czech Republic), and has been implemented by a consortium
made up of 11 companies and universities from Spain, Czech Republic, France, Denmark, UK, Portugal and Croatia.
