PILOTS
@WATERNOMICS_EU
WATERNOMICS will be demonstrated in four
high impact pilots that target three different
end users/stakeholders.
Waternomics for Domestic Usage
Municipality of Thermi, Greece
Waternomics for Corporate Usage
Linate Airport, Milan, Italy
Waternomics for Municipalities
Galway City, Ireland
Homes (single residence,
apartments and complexes)
in a water stressed region
Installing a water manage-
ment system in the main
terminal of a signature EU
airport
Decision making tools and
support to public buildings
and public assets
WATERNOMICS equiped all pilot sites with
sensors linked to a single smart water plat-
form. With this smart water system, WA-
TERNOMICS applications are being tested.

2. RESULTSAPPROACHTHE WATER CHALLENGE
OBJECTIVES
Studies carried out by the European Commis-
sion have identified that a significant part of
Europe suffers from water stress, that the
cumulative impacts of economic development
and climate change are likely to aggravate the
situation in many areas where water stress
already exists and that further significant
parts of Europe are likely to be affected in the
future.
The same studies identified a very significant
potential for water savings in Europe through
improved water efficiency, in particular in
agriculture, buildings and water distribution
systems. It is estimated that between 20-
40% of Europe’s water is being wasted.
WATERNOMICS will provide personalized and
actionable information on water consumption
and water availability to individual house-
holds, companies and cities in an intuitive &
effective manner at relevant time-scales for
decision making. Project objectives include:
● Introduce demand response and ac-
countability principles in the water sector
● Engage consumers in new interactive and
personalized ways that bring water effi-
ciency to the forefront and leads to changes
in water behaviours
● Empower corporate decision makers and
municipal area managers with a water
information platform
@WATERNOMICS_EU
The project is still ongoing but the first results
have become available. Results range from
new sensor technology, the water information
platform with novel applications to the meth-
odology and new business models and value
propositions. In the final stage, results will be
validated technologically as well as economi-
cally in the four pilots or with relevant busi-
ness partners.
