Scientific dimension of the project How can Fiware4Water contribute to these expected impacts? The best option for us is to cover as many types of use cases of usefulness of the FIWARE platform as we can covering hopefully the whole water cycle: water supply, water distribution, wastewater treatment, and also the communication with the customers with Smart Water applications. This is what we're trying to do by looking into the way our demo cases have operated with new technology, managed to communicate, and collaborate with the legacy systems (systems that the utility already has in place). This rush is the best contribution to demonstrate a possibility and a way of transition to digital water for the water utilities. What are the project's key scientific innovations? The main innovation of this project is technical. It is related to the information technology, and the population of the FIWARE platform with data models for the water sector. Fiware4Water is a new foundation for using real time operational management within the internet of things era. For the utilities, we are very happy that we managed to develop a lot of data models with the help of the FIWARE platform, thanks to the innovative work of all our partners and the cooperation of the water utilities, all parts of Fiware4Water consortium. The key scientific innovation has been recognized by the European Commission. In the latest publication in May, for the working staff documents, Fiware4Water is the only model project for digital water included for their own staff. And this, for me is a very, very happy end. It helps the reputation, and also the impact of the Fiware4Water project. Back to content Lydia VamvakeridouLyroudia KWR, University of Exeter Scientific and Technical Manager
