EVERYTHING IS BECOMING SMART

3

Everything can be sensed and measured

Everything is connected: people,

systems, objects, etc.

Decision support systems can analyze, optimize, predict, etc.

THE GLOBAL WATER CHALLENGE

Water resources are under stress because of:• Climate change• Urbanisation• Increased world population• Resource demand• Water Scarcity• Need for resource security & supply

The question: How can ICT help in securing access to sufficient and safe water?

METHODOLOGY PHASES


MANAGEMENT TOOLThe “homepage” for the Waternomics Methodology “Trello Board” for the NUIG pilot activity. The screen is split up into five columns corresponding to the Waternomics methodology phases and activities within them. A sixth column captures associated research tasks and activities of interest to the working group.
