WATERVERSE: Water Data Management Ecosystem for Water Data Spaces
A Water Data Management Ecosystem (WDME) for making data management practices and resources in the water sector accessible, affordable, secure, fair, and easy to use.
Where: international
Where: international
Challenge
Data intensive technologies are being adopted in the water sector: multi-parametric sensing infrastructures, SCADA systems, earth observation data, statistics on consumption, network operation analytics, digital twins.
Approach
However, the actual use of data is hindered by strong data ownership approaches due to the perception that data sharing is a risk for confidentiality leakage, security aspects of critical infrastructures, unclear business models, poor quality of data (not reliable, too scattered, not usable, not available in real-time and not sharable) as well as the fragmentation and conservative attitude of the water utilities. Data spaces, as intended by the European Strategy for Data, can make data sovereignty a reality that will help overcoming the aforementioned challenges.

Solution
Digital Ecosystem
WATERVERSE developes a WDME for making data management practices and resources in the water sector accessible, affordable, secure, fair, and easy to use, improving usability of data and the interoperability of data-intensive processes, lowering the entry barrier to data spaces, enhancing the resilience of water utilities and boosting the perceived value of data and the market opportunities behind it. Engineering leads the activities related to the tailoring and integration of data management tools that compose the overall WDME, providing also technical support to the different pilots to develop, integrate, deploy and operate the platform for demonstration.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme under Grant Agreement No 101070262.
