Water is precious
We use water every day to drink, shower, cook, wash
It's so important that access to
water is a human right
This is why water is, and must be cheap
Everyone must have affordable access to safe water
However, this is also the reason many of us waste water without even knowing it
Have you ever wondered how much water you use?
Do you know if you are using water efficiently?
Or how can you improve your water use?
Perhaps how your water consumption compares to others?
Well, chances are you do not know the answers to these questions!
But how could you? You only learn about your water consumption every few months
from your water utility bill
and it's just a number, with no other information beyond
your total water consumption and its cost
That's a problem, right?
How can you improve your water use
if you do not know how, or even where, you need to improve?
Does it matter though?
Is improving our individual water use so important?
Yes! You might have heard in the news
that droughts and water scarcity
are challenging several regions across the world
And the outlook is not that pleasant
Scientists predict that by 2050
two out of three people worldwide will be challenged by water scarcity
We believe that all of us can make the difference
We can collectively improve our water use
become more efficient
and help address water challenges
DAIAD is a research project funded by the
European Union with a single mission
to empower consumers with the missing knowledge
and tools they need in order to
sustainably improve their water use
We have developed two unique systems that
can work independently or complement
each other to further increase water efficiency
The first is for you, everyday consumers
and it's called DAIAD@home
It allows you to monitor and understand your water consumption
helping you save water, energy, and money!
The second is for your water utility
and it's called DAIAD@utility
It uses what we call Big Data to help your utility
analyze and predict water consumption
engage its customers and extract
actionable insights from water consumption data
DAIAD makes sure
information about your water consumption
is always at your fingertips
where, and when, you need it
How do we do that? Well it's simple!
We use water meter data from your utility
and any personal water meters you may have
At your mobile phone, tablet, or over the Web
DAIAD provides you with personalized insights
recommendations, and alerts for your water use
We help you understand your water use
learn how and where you can
use water more efficiently and improve
your water use over time
Let's see how it works
Download DAIAD's application in your mobile phone or tablet, and sign up
The dashboard provides you with important information at a glance about your water use
And you can personalize it as much as you like
This is how much water you used this month, this week, or yesterday
A number of shortcuts indicate relevant information
Don't like it? Then change it! Simply select what kind of information you want to see
Tips to improve your water use, alerts and personalized recommendations, appear here
Your detailed water consumption is always available
Explore how your water use changes over time
This week, the past month, or last year, it's right there!
You can also see how you compare to other similar households
or the entire city you live in
We also show you how you can use water more efficiently
in the form of tips and recommendations personalized for your household
And if we suspect something is wrong, for example a water leak
we will alert you!
It not only saves water, but also protects your household
But what if your water utility has not installed a smart water meter for your household?
Also, what if you want even more detailed information about your water and energy consumption?
Well, we've got something exciting for you!
We have developed an intelligent water meter for your shower
It doesn't need a battery, harvesting the energy it needs from water flow
It also connects to your mobile device via Bluetooth
Smart, right?
You simply install it, turn the water on,
and keep track of your water energy and consumption
during and after your shower
using the same mobile app
All this wealth of information
and insights is also available over the Web
You can use DAIAD's mobile app, or the Web app, or both
Whatever you prefer
For water utilities, DAIAD provides a comprehensive, intelligent system
for water demand management, and consumer engagement
It uses Big Data and machine learning technologies to analyze smart water meter data
in order to understand, predict, and influence water use on a massive scale
DAIAD allows your water utility to:
explore and analyze water consumption
at unprecedented levels of detail
understand what influences water use individually for each household
accurately forecast and anticipate water demand
provide you with personalized information that helps you save water
discover the hidden water savings potential of an entire city
and also lower its operating and capital costs
With DAIAD you and your utility work together to protect our precious water resources
DAIAD technologies have been validated worldwide
in Spain, the UK, and even Singapore
Our users have reduced their water consumption by 20% on average
saving water, energy, and money
DAIAD increases awareness about water
guides us towards self inducing sustainable changes in our consumption behavior
and engages everyone in water efficiency
We will let DAIAD users speak for themselves
DAIAD is rapidly changing the way we use water
helping us protect it
alleviating water stress
and saving money in the process
We are working with water utilities worldwide to bring DAIAD
into your own household
So we will see you soon!
Until then, keep this in mind
