On 3 December 2024, H2OforAll and SafecREW conducted their fourth common webinar, which has again been a great success. More than 60 participants listened to the four presentations on “Drinking Water Systems Modelling and Digitalization” and engaged in the disscussion. If you missed the opportunity or if you want to recap the webinar, the recording is now available online.
Albert Nardi and Aitor Iraola, the invited speakers from Amphos21, talked about digital solutions for the water sector. They firstly showed their approach to assess risk and vulnerability for companies due to climate change by calculating hazards using climate prediction models. Then, they talked about the use of machine learning algorithms for water management, specifically for the prediction of river flooding when extreme rain events occurs (minutes 10:40-29:00).
They were followed by Balaram Guddanti who presented H2OforAll DBP modelling results to enhance water quality monitoring (minutes 29:00-43:30). The third presentation of Laura Vinardell focused on estimation models for DBPs in drinking water distribution networks, applied to the SafeCREW case study in Tarragona (minutes 43:30-59:57). The final talk centred around hydraulic and quality modelling of water distribution networks. Telmo Paula and Nuno Simões presented the modelling approach for Águas de Coimbra, host of the H2OforAll case study (from 1:00:00 to 1:18:00).
