The research project “Smart Water City – intelligent usage of water in municipal structures” (April 2019 – April 2021) in cooperation with the University of Innsbruck, Sensor Network Services GmbH, G. Bernhardt’s Söhne Ges.m.b.H and Dipl.-Ing. Karl Grimm aims to equip the urban water infrastructure with ICT systems.
As a result, cities can be made more efficient and sustainable across systems and municipal benefits can be generated. In addition to the reliable supply of fresh water to the entire community, the urban water infrastructure also guarantees the environmentally tolerable disposal of accumulated wastewater and the safe discharge of rainwater runoff.
As part of the project, SENS is building and operating the LoRaWANTM infrastructure, which serves as the basis for the communication of the water meters and development for innovative water management applications.
