Description of the SmartWaterSave project
The SmartWaterSave project is co - funded by the European Union and by National Funds of the participating countries, while the municipality of Prespes is the Lead Beneficiary of the SmartWaterSave project.
The main objectives of the SmartWaterSave project:
[1] Mapping the water distribution networks using Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
[2] Hydraulic modelling of the networks
[3] Installation of water pressure and flow sensors at five and four settlements in Greece and fYROM respectively
[4] Identification of “hotspots” in terms of pipe failures regionalization
[5] Calculation of the current water losses, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions per each settlement
[6] Development of three pressure management strategies based on varying the inlet pressure at each network
[7] Investigating the relationship between inlet pressure and leakages using advanced statistical models
[8] Blueprints and hydraulic studies for reconstructing the most water consuming parts of the networks
[9] Calculation of water savings based on the most effective management strategy
[10] Calculation of energy consumption savings
[11] Calculation of greenhouse gas emissions savings based on calculating the Water Footprint indicator
[12] Reconstruction works of the most water consuming parts of the networks
[13] Organizing workshops and seminars to disseminate results to local stakeholders and residents.
