Water management faces significant challenges, from pipe leaks to high maintenance costs. In this context, the WATER INFRASTRUCTURE SMART DATA OPTIMIZATION METHODOLOGY project emerges as a disruptive solution to transform the water sector through advanced technologies.

Developed with the support of the Valencian Institute of Competitiveness and Innovation and the Polytechnic University of Valencia, this project has a clear objective: to implement a new methodology for optimizing data generated by fiber optic sensors. The goal is to increase reliability and precision in monitoring water networks.

Through the use of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and innovative fiber optic sensor technology, the project aims to revolutionize the way the manage water infrastructures.

Compared to traditional electronic sensor systems, fiber optic sensors offer significant benefits:

• Extended coverage: They provide precise measurements across distances of up to tens of kilometers, reducing the need for multiple control points.

• Low maintenance: These sensors do not require electricity and are immune to corrosion, lowering operational costs and improving sustainability.

• Real-time monitoring: They deliver continuous, precise information on water conditions and infrastructure status, enabling managers to respond quickly to problems.

As our doctoral researcher David explains:
"Optimizing data is key to reliably understanding what happens in pipelines and avoiding issues such as the 30% water loss currently experienced by many cities in Spain."

Thanks to this technology, the project aims to improve the comprehensive control of urban, agricultural, and industrial networks. Reduce water losses, by precisely detecting leaks and increase operational efficiency by automate monitoring processes, reducing reliance on costly and manual methods.
