Presentation of the Innovation strategy and Smart4 project for water governance and water integrated water management by Anna Poberezhna to Ofwat*. The key aim is to achieve inclusive, resilient and sustainable development within the water and water-related sectors. Anna suggested her initial conceptual design of efficient and flexible systems, digital economic incentives & community engagement powered by innovation and blockchain. *Summary of the Presented conceptual vision to Ofwat in February 2017 (the UK Water regulator) with further comments and explanations.

Suggestions of Possible Use Cases (assumptions based on R&D by Anna Poberezhna)
● Ofwat and Defra could potentially being granted with a privileged digital key to obtain real-time market share
intelligence / analytics of the various water providers (stored on a private blockchain) instead of having to survey
providers to generate market data.
● Water retailers need to report to Ofwat under the Wholesale Retail Code. By recording the data onto a blockchain
Ofwat can guarantee the data hasn't been tampered with, thus enabling a greater level of transparency across the
industry. This will also reduce the cost overheads associated with maintaining security around data records, as
well as the overheads from the regulators to audit retailers and ensure they are not modifying data before
submission.
● For MOSL the blockchain can be deployed as an additional feature to their developed IT infrastructure that would
simplify process of registration, customer switching and settlement between wholesalers and retailers, putting it
on a single blockchain (automatic validation and confirmation of information: accounts,billing history etc.) with a
different level of access to the information
