Water by EGM

Water is a resource whose quantity is immutable over time. But if the quantity does not change, its quality, its geographical distribution as well as its accessibility vary. Today the world of water is changing, it is facing three major issues: scarcity, environmental pollution and new risks linked to micropollutions, climate change and terrorist threats.

OUR CHALLENGE

Using technology and data intelligence to optimize the use of drinking water, detect leaks and consider the prospects for using grey water.

EXAMPLES OF DEPLOYED USE CASES

River basin management

ISSUE

To make a state of the art on the quality and quantity of water in a watershed

SOLUTION

Use of FIWARE to make simulations and forecasts from data collected in the field and from weather forecasts coupled with machine learning.

BENEFITS

Make forecasts on the quantity and quality of water that can be used for their drinking water circuit.
Decision support tool to know how to better manage their water in the short and medium term
Implement intelligent irrigation solutions to limit losses according to the water present in the basin

Detecting leaks

ISSUE

Detecting leaks on the ground or seepage into buildings.

SOLUTION

Use of pressure sensors to determine whether there is a leak in the pipes. Set warning thresholds to alert the operator to a failure. Implementation of sensors for predictive maintenance of equipment.

BENEFITS

Accurate diagnosis of your water consumption

Adapting your watering system

Water consumption reduced from 30% to 50%

Leak detection

Increased soil quality and plant health

Taking into account the feedback of your field teams for continuous improvement

FIREWARE platform, supporting a global approach to data improvement
Avoidance of consequent water damage.
Reduction of drinking water consumption

Monitoring of connected meters

ISSUE

The desire to better manage our drinking water with the implementation of an intelligent infrastructure to optimize recurrent operations.

SOLUTION

The solution is aimed at water operators and is based on exploiting the capabilities of smart meters, measuring certain metrics such as water flow and pressure.
The solution includes a data transmission, management and exploitation system that also offers the possibility to set up alerts to consumers in order to increase water saving awareness.

BENEFITS

Better data management by exploiting the latest improvement in the field of IoT.
An alert management system that notifies consumers according to defined criteria, for example when consumption thresholds are exceeded to improve leakage management.
Several options for data visualization and exploitation.
A data model designed for IoT use and easily adaptable to your specific needs.
Data interoperability within the FIWARE ecosystem, which allows for different uses, particularly in terms of data analysis.

Econom’O

ISSUE

Water leaks, impoverished soils, archaic watering systems, malnourished plants, huge water bills…

SOLUTION

Econom’O is an automatic irrigation control system that, thanks to several types of connected sensors, allows to control water consumption but also soil conditions. A soil moisture sensor coupled with local weather forecasts makes it possible to forecast the quantities of water to be irrigated day after day. Econom’O therefore makes it possible to manage irrigation by saving all the water possible without harming the soil and the plants, and this in an automated way and requiring a minimum of monitoring.
