Drinking Water
The provision of clean drinking water is vital. Regular monitoring is essential to ensure the microbiological and chemical safety of bank filtrate water, a common source of drinking water in continental Europe. Strict assessment and monitoring protocols are also essential to ensure the chemical and microbiological safety of surface water used for drinking water treatment.
Once drinking water quality has been achieved through technical treatment, minimising water loss in the distribution infrastructure becomes paramount. Innovative methods utilise hydraulic measurement data and combine model-based and data-driven algorithms to detect and locate leaks in drinking water distribution networks, thus ensuring the reliability of the system.
