Big data to tackle sewage odor complaints? Acoustic condition assessment in water scarce areas? Monitoring, evaluation and modeling as solutions for a broad range of water related challenges? Innovation and research is boosting new generation water management. Sharing data, application of methodology, tools and analysis is providing a new landscape of advantages and opportunities in the international water sector. The challenge of ‘application’ of new ICT and Data is the central issue of this solution workshop session moderated by Ger Baron, Chief Technology Officer Municipality of Amsterdam. Simon van den Dries (Rencos) will give an introductory speech about "The Internet of Things". The session is moderated by Ger Baron.

Ecometrica is, in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh and funded by the Data Lab, developing a SaaS module to calculate the water footprint of crops based on satellite imagery, product data, and client specific data. Our goal is to offer our clients an easy, straightforward and transparent way of calculating their water footprint.

Dutch drinkwater is of high quality. Still, there is room for improvements. Placing more fixed/mobile sensors yields more data. Big & fast real-time data processing, in combination with prior knowledge, facilitates optimal sensor placement, locates sensor/pump/pipe malfunctioning, minimizes costs and maximizes network information for optimal grid monitoring and management.

The ongoing increase in detail in numerical models of our drinking water systems can lead to the paradox that we know less about the functioning of the system than before, when models were simpler. We discuss this paradox and describe requirements for a successful application of advanced modelling/optimization techniques.

Stormwater ingress into municipal sewer systems is a challenge faced by cities using dedicated sanitation systems worldwide. Ingress swallows up available pumping capacity and increases energy consumption, whilst exhausting any spare system capacity of the network and treatment facilities. This paper shows how this problem is being tackled in the Msunduzi Municipality in South Africa.

The number of sewer odor complaints in Seoul (Korea) has been rising. But when and where the odor occurs cannot be assessed. So, a sewer odor complaints map was made to drive a sewer odor reduction project. The map’s major components comprised odor characteristic analyses and odor predictions. When the map was used at Seoul in 2015, it was very effective.

Water companies can use several inspection tools to inspect the condition of mains or the presence of leaks. PIPE-works helps asset managers through an easy accessible knowledge base with objective descriptions of technologies, inspection tools and implementations. PIPE-works is one of the Watershare tools that will be launched officially at the AIWW.

Waternet is the water cycle company of Amsterdam. For monitoring and control of a large number of assets in the water cycle, real-time data with high density is not necessary. In case of groundwater levels, sewer overflow, alarm messages or dyke monitoring, hourly, daily or incidental measurements suffice, and LoRa can be an efficient technique. The results of two pilots for water level measurements using LoRa will be shown.
