SCOREwater introduces digital services to improve the management of wastewater, stormwater and flooding events. These services are provided by an adaptive digital platform. Existing technical platforms and services (e.g. FIWARE, CKAN) are extended to the water domain by integrating relevant standards, ontologies and vocabularies, and provide an interoperable open-source platform for smart water management. Emerging digital technologies such as the internet of things, artificial intelligence and big data are used to provide accurate real-time predictions and refined information. The project implements three large-scale, cross-cutting innovation demonstrators in Amersfoort (the Netherlands), Barcelona (Spain) and Gothenburg (Sweden), and enables transfer and upscale by providing harmonised data and services. 

The project initiates a new ‘sewage sociology’ domain, mining biomarkers of community-wide lifestyle habits from sewage. SCOREwater develops new water monitoring techniques and data-adaptive storm water treatment, which apply to water resource protection and legal compliance for construction projects. SCOREwater enhances resilience against flooding by sensing and hydrological modelling coupled with urban water engineering. The project will identify best practices for developing and using the digital services, thus addressing water stakeholders beyond the project partners. The project will also develop technologies to increase public engagement in water management. Moreover, SCOREwater will deliver an innovation ecosystem driven by the financial savings in both maintenance and operation of water systems that are offered, using the SCOREwater digital services, providing new business opportunities for water and small and medium-sized enterprises in information and communication technology.

The SCOREwater project provides guidelines and recommendations for relevant public awareness campaigns, among other relevant outputs. The project is relevant for cities and regions developing a holistic Circular Systemic Solution that targets local water ecosystems.
