Our Proposal for an Integrated Network Management System (Smart Water Network with the use of Urban Water Platform)
The municipalities and water utilities are facing problems with the reduced efficiency of water distribution networks, the increased cost of maintenance and energy consumption as well as the lower revenues that it generates.
UW Tech seizes the new challenges of our era by changing the management approach of the existing water networks and setting new parameters.
In collaboration with GDT Smart Cities we provide a powerful system which allows utilities to improve effectively the performance of their networks and their management.
The problem
- Increased rate of non – revenue water up to more than 60%
- High energy consumption
- High rate of leaks
- Management of big data volume
- Inefficient Infrastructure Management
- Insufficient Water Quality Monitoring
- Non – Rational Resource Management
- Inaccurate Measurements
- Illegal connections
Ways of dealing with the problem
- Pressure reduction
- More efficient operation of Drilling/Pump Stations and Tanks
- Direct leakage detection
- Determination of Water Balance
- Real-time accurate determination of domestic consumption
Actions
Within the framework of the rational management of natural resources and of the optimization of water networks operation, we offer an integrated and reliable technological solution providing services such as:
- Modelling of water network
- Installation of Automated Meter Readers (AMR)
- Implementation of Pressure Management Program
- Improvement of energy consumption of Drilling/Pumping stations and Tanks
- Water Quality Assurance
- Urban Water Platform
- Automatic Count/Billing Consumer
- Automatic Pressure Management
- Automatic Detection of Leaks
- Automatic Warning for possible burst of pipes
- Warning of possible degradation of water quality
- Program of Maintenance Works and Warehouse Management
- Scheduling Maintenance Work and Network Repair
- Human Resource Management
- Warehouse Management
- Infrastructure Management
- Education Service
Integrated education programs (operators, engineers, technicians) for better understanding and more efficient operation of Smart Water Network.
- Support / Operation Services
Contracting services of operation of Smart Water Network based on efficiency ensurance (performance based contracts) by monitoring in real time performance indicators (KPI’s)
Benefits by implementing Smart Water Network
- Reduction of non – revenue water (NRW)
- Upgrade of services offered to consumers
- More accurate and easier billing
- Optimization of energy consumption
- Reduction of stress on the water network
- Reduction of operational costs
- Safe water quality for the citizens
- Rational natural resource management
- Easier management of consumers data and archives
- Extend asset life of electromechanical equipment
- Reduction of costs for finding, managing and disposing of new water resources
- Monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of Smart Water Network through performance indicators (KPI’s)
