- The aim of the SCOREwater platform is to provide end-users with user-friendly access to water-related IoT data and services via APIs. When examining the business model for the platform, we find several benefits, added value and business opportunities that can arise from the platform. ✘ Vendor or technology lock-in due to vertical business solutions and business models ✘ Expensive ways of platform adaptation related to current and future needs for smart cities and smart water management applications ✘ Distrust between all parties involved in providing data and associated services for smart water management to a common platform by ensuring that appropriate security measures are considered ✘ Need for support in filtering and identifying patterns from large datasets due to lack of resources/competences/skills that can be used to work proactively with e.g. AI-based and machine learning solutions for predictive maintenance and early warning systems The SCOREwater platform contributes to a new digital urban infrastructure that can be called an Open Urban Data Platform (OUDP). The OUDP enables the exploration and exploitation of urban data, new and improved services for and by residents or visitors, companies, non-profit parties and parties from both the public and private sectors. An OUDP offers technological support for the realization of several municipal tasks and/or social goals. It can, as it were, be compared to an Open Data Ecosystem. This is open, transparent and accessible to all collaborating parties (public, private, knowledge institutions, etc.), so that services and applications can be created based on the data held by the platform. ✔ Guarantee the interests of citizens, visitors, companies and administration in the urban/urban area: open, transparent, scalable and safe); ✔ Stimulating economic growth through collaboration with and in ecosystems, providing solutions to social/environmental challenges for the market. ✔ 'Data sovereignty' principle, where data is governed by the law of the country where it was collected, and 'self-sovereignty', where the owner of this data determines who can do what with that data under what conditions;' ✔ Contribute, through the maximum transparency applied, to confidence in correct and ethically responsible data use; ✔ Share, use and analyze both commercial and other non-publicly available datasets, for example due to proprietary format for which you have to buy a specific software component to work with the data, under the right conditions, both ethically and in terms of privacy and legal aspects . An OUDP such as the SCOREwater platform can be described as a preconditional component in the digitization of public space. General values that the OUDP brings are the ability for the public sector and its related stakeholders to work data-driven based on available data, partners and ecosystem. It contributes to all kinds of analytics, such as data science and data mining, artificial intelligence, and advanced business intelligence. This in turn can lead to a better insight into the urban living environment, which helps, for example, to make better decisions and/or interventions and innovation of new products and services. ✔ transforming the municipal organization from working in domains to a data and/or insight-driven organization for more efficient and sustainable water management. ✔ makes it possible to share data with third parties to e.g. create smart water services ✔ Supports the visualization of (future) smart city services and smart water management ✔ Decision support through the ability to model accurate projections of historical/current/future events e.g. predictive maintenance ✔ Highlighting services or areas that need improvement, e.g. pipes and wells that require maintenance ✔ Support in bridging information gaps within and between organizations/water companies ✔ Documentation that can be used for interventions and innovation of new smart water (and smart city) products and services that meet needs/challenges, e.g. flood warnings, pollution monitoring1Licence not specifiedover 2 years ago

- Water-safe infrastructure and construction projects Key innovations (i) Environmental digital monitoring for legal compliance at major construction projects; (ii) Water quality monitoring and prediction system with integrated stormwater treatment; (iii) Real-time public engagement platform on urban surface and wastewater quality, linked to science park activities (Universeum) promoting water-friendly behaviour. Sectors Construction industry, infrastructure projects, stormwater treatment, sewer systems, environmental assessments, wastewater treatment plants. Special focus SDGs: 6,11,12,14. Environmental protection: WFD good ecological and chemical status. National environmental target “Non-toxic Environment” Legal compliance: Weser judgement, Urban wastewater treatment directive, Market creation: water monitoring for infrastructure projects will be required for legal compliance and with the open source tools and platform developed in SCOREwater will cost a small fraction of the enormous sums spent on infrastructure projects in the EU. Public outreach: city dwellers, local government, road administration authorities, NGOs, construction industry, schools, science park visitors. Background: In the next 20 years, more than 100 billion Euros will be invested in construction, reconstruction, expanding and densifying the City of Göteborg as well as building infrastructure in the city region. Göteborg is a coastal city whose water resources are important for drinking water, recreation, fishing and tourism. The West Link (Västlänken), a train tunnel that will increase capacity and reduce the vulnerability of rail traffic in the region, is one of Sweden's largest infrastructure projects. Construction projects of this kind can potentially cause risks, for example, particles and pollutant transport via the stormwater and combined sewers, increased wastewater overflows, or direct surface runoff to the water bodies in the city. City of Göteborg has the responsibility for the monitoring and compliance of the Water Framework Directive of the water bodies. There are a particular concern regarding Gullbergsån and the port channels as tributaries to Göta älv which is both a drinking water reservoir and transports directly to the sea. Many citizens are concerned about the costs of the infrastructure investments and the potential environmental impact they have. Aim The aim is to be in agreement with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 12, 11 and 6, implement compliance with the non-deterioration principle during infrastructure development (Weser judgement) and control of wastewater overflows according to the Urban Wastewater Directive. And also, to raise public awareness of urban surface water quality, promote “water-friendly” behaviour (thus fostering a water-responsible society), and provide information about the actual effects of infrastructure projects on urban water resources. Approach This should be achieved by estimate stormwater pollution levels for West Link and city construction site by connecting water quality sensors to the SCOREwater platform and analysing using artificial intelligence. Direct polluted stormwater is sent to local water treatment stations employing cost-efficient “blue-green” technology, using Chitosan, for effective treatment of construction storm- and process water. Also, implement high temporal and spatial resolution water quality monitoring using sensors in recipients in the Göta älv, to connect response in recipient from pollution from construction sites. Further, measure stormwater volumes and sewer overflows with cost effective wireless sensors for mass deployment in compliance with the Wastewater directive. IVL and end user City of Göteborg will also analyse social and organizational factors that enable technological development. Outcome A smart water management system for environmental monitoring and legal compliance (Weser judgment, Wastewater directive) during construction projects. Map-based interface for web and applications that provide the public, businesses and local government with an inclusive, interactive information platform for water quality and stormwater quantity monitoring. Science park (Universeum) activities to raise public awareness about the waste-, surface-, and drinking water cycle and promote water friendly behaviour. Innovation beyond the case: Provide new tools to the digital market for monitoring compliance with the WFD (water body surveillance monitoring and Weser judgment) and UWWTD (wastewater overflows). Innovation is pushed by: i) Increased resolution in stormwater monitoring, both in space (more sensors) and in time (real-time data collected to the SCOREwater platform), ii) Prediction of local pollutant levels based on other measurements using machine learning, iii) Open data, map-based and app interfaces, scalable to other urban and rural areas, providing a timely overview of status of the stormwater and wastewater systems as well as water body recipients.1Licence not specifiedover 2 years ago

- Resilient and informative sewer systems using “sewer sociology” Key innovations Deploy a lifestyle habits surveillance network mine lifestyle habits information from the chemical and microbiological analysis of sewage samples new data driven model for sewer system maintenance. Sectors City planners Public Health Agencies (design interventions to reduce inequalities) City dwellers (overall lifestyle information) Water boards (sewer system management). Special focus SDGs: 3, 10, 11, 12 Environmental protection: Reduction of discharges of untreated wastewater from sewer systems to receiving water bodies to comply with Water Framework Directive. WHO initiatives for promoting healthier diets and decrease antibiotic resistance; Market creation: Sensor and IoT solutions for lifestyle monitoring sewer network. Public outreach: city dwellers, public health organizations, urban planners, researchers, companies in charge of managing wastewater collection and treatment systems. Background: The city of Barcelona envisions their city to remain as a digital global benchmark by linking innovation to social and economic justice, solidarity, ethics and gender equality by promoting the interests of its citizens (“The Barcelona City Council Digital Plan”). Barcelona is part of the 100 resilient cities community (4) and is currently shaping its strategy to enhance resilience through the Climate Plan of Barcelona which has four strategic axes: (1) mitigation, (2) adaptation and resilience, (3) climate justice and (4) impulse to citizen action (5). 3 Wilkinson M. D. et al, "The FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship", Scientific Data 3(2016), doi:10.1038/sdata.2016.18. 4 "100 Resilient Cities." https://www.100resilientcities.org/. Accessed 3 Sep. 2018. 5 "Barcelona pel Clima|Ajuntament de ...." http://www.barcelona.cat/barcelona-pel-clima. Accessed 3 Sep. 2018. Aim: The goal within SCOREwater is to innovate in the digitalization of water services, by demonstrating how sensing the sewer system of Barcelona can provide information at a neighbourhood scale on health status, dietary habits and waste management at households. This information will be used to: 1) reduce the discharge of antibiotics in the environment, 2) promote healthier dietary habits, and 3) prevent damaging discharges from households of wet wipes, oils and greases to the sewer system, 4) decrease sewer maintenance costs. Approach: SCOREwater will be a proof of concept that sewer sociology can be applied to understand the habits of 3 neighbourhoods with differing socio-economic status in Barcelona. A sensor network, connected to the SCOREwater platform, will be deployed to monitor water flows (BCASA) and concentrations (SCAN and ICRA). Artificial intelligence based on machine learning will be conducted (EUT) to obtain indicators of wet wipes usage, oils and greases discharge to the sewer network, dietary habits and antibiotics consumption. The mined information will allow the identification of neighbourhoods that need intervention. Then, a series of interventions (surveys (IERMB), education campaigns and social-media) will be executed with the ultimate goal of source controlling bad lifestyle and health habits. A data driven model will also be developed which links citizens’ complaints on sewer-related problems with operators maintenance reporting. Outcome A smart water management system for sewer systems management. A collection of good quality data on lifestyle habits of three communities in Barcelona. Education campaigns to raise public awareness about proper waste disposal at the households to prevent the clogging of sewers, and proper antibiotic consumption. Innovation beyond the case: The case study of Barcelona will generate new products/services: i) a systematic manner for processing water quality and water quantity information to elucidate population habits; ii) extending existing water quality sensors to monitor oils and greases from domestic wastewater; iii) an innovative service to design health and environmental awareness campaigns; iv) a data driven model for sewer maintenance which uses citizen science.1Licence not specifiedover 2 years ago

- To deal with the effects of climate change our cities have to be redesigned. In Amersfoort, one of the key challenges for the upcoming decades is to redesign the city in a climate-adaptive way. By implementing measures against water- and heat problems (to counter-act risks such as flooding and the result of urban heat island effects) and by measuring whether these measures work in the way we intended, Amersfoort wants to build on what it present today: a comfortable city to live, work, visit and recreate. Therefore, Amersfoort plays an active role in the European project SCOREwater. By joining project SCOREwater Amersfoort aims to increase insight in the effectiveness of climate-adaptive measures by deploying a sensor-network, developed in co-creation with citizens. This input will be complemented by digital models, used to assess whether the city is and remains to be climate-resilient. SCOREwater is one of the projects in the program ‘Amersfoort Smart City’, in which we assess whether the use of data and technology can help us to do our work more effectively and efficiently. The project will focus on two geographical areas: The Amersfoort Central Railway Station is an area that is planned to change heavily in de upcoming years. One of the issues in this area is that predictions show high risks of flooding and of heat stress. Furthermore, it has proven to be difficult to store use water effectively and to use it to make the area greener, which is necessary to make the area more climate resilient. By deploying sensors and using digital models, we intend to gain more insight into how to effectively store, manage and use different types of water (specifically: ground water and precipitation) and to deal with heat in this area. This information will be used to assess the effectiveness of changes in the area and to include stakeholders in the development of a climate-resilient area. The neighbourhood of Schothorst is a pilot area for testing climate adaptive measures. Currently, the area has problems with drainage causing a risk of flooding. Flooding is mostly an issue at times of heavy rainfall, which is expected to get worse in the future. Furthermore, extended periods of draught cause issues in the area. More effective use of infiltration methods and methods to retain water are necessary to make the area more climate resilient. By using sensors to measure what is happening and combining this information with the development of hydrological and ground water models we will gain a deeper understanding of whether the area is and will be climate resilient in the future. All data gathered will be fed into the SCOREwater platform and all lessons learned will be shared with the SCOREwater community.1Licence not specifiedover 2 years ago
