Linking the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Greece and Cyprus, the six-year Water Futures project will receive a total of \u20ac10 million through the European Research Council&#8217;s (ERC) Synergy Grant.<\/p>\n<p>Entitled \u2018Smart Water Futures: Designing the Next Generation of Urban Drinking Water Systems\u2019, it will be led by a Water-Futures team that combines leading experience in water science, systems and control theory, economics and decision science, and machine learning.<\/p>\n<p>Four prominent European scientists will oversee the Water-Futures initiative, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Professor Dragan Savi\u0107, CEO of KWR Water Research Institute (KWR), the Netherlands and Professor of Hydroinformatics at the University of Exeter, UK<\/li>\n<li>Professor Barbara Hammer, Machine Learning Group at Bielefeld University, Germany<\/li>\n<li>Professor Phoebe Koundouri, Professor of Economics at the Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece<\/li>\n<li>Professor Marios Polycarpou, Director of the KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Cyprus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The research aims to determine how the world can provide high-quality water in a future filled with uncertainty and consider the increasing level of urbanisation and the impacts of climate change that will accelerate water demand. It will link short-term decisions to make water utility operations more efficient together with longer-term thinking to create resilient infrastructure for unpredictable environments.<\/p>\n<p>Smart Water Futures will use a systems innovation approach to co-design future urban water systems by co-developing the necessary technological, policy and financial pathways.<\/p>\n<p>An open-source toolbox will eventually help policymakers to better plan drinking water infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>As water networks become more advanced with the integration of digital technologies, more data will be generated leading to large-scale, complex cyber-physical systems. The project will contribute to the design and operation of the next generation of smart water systems.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Dragan Savi\u0107 said: &#8220;Sustainable planning and management of water infrastructure are difficult or impossible to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements that are often difficult to recognise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Smart Water Futures has received funding from the ERC under grant number: 951424.
