Digitalising Urban Waters

Lessons learnt from the cities of Berlin, Copenhagen, Milan, Paris and Sofia

Digital-water.city (DWC) is an European project that aims to demonstrate the potential of digital in the water sector. In 4 years, DWC has developed and brought to market more than 15 digital solutions addressing the main challenges facing water and sanitation utilities. As the DWC project draws to a close, this event aims to highlight the lessons learned from each of the demonstration cities that took part in the project: Berlin, Copenhagen, Milan, Paris (SIAAP) and Sofia. The main outcomes of the project: 1. An overview of promising digital water innovations and the benefits achieved in the five partner cities. Find out how Paris is exploiting the potential of new sensors and machine learning to open its rivers to swimmers or how Berlin is using augmented reality to make groundwater visible to the public; 2. Feedback from the utilities on the challenges of adopting digital solutions and a focus on cybersecurity; 3. The DWC recommendations to policy makers to fill the current policy gaps and foster the digitalisation of the European water sector.
