  1. MoICT Morocco Research Advance in ICT for Water Smart Water management via ICT

  2. Smart water management via ICT 1. Some reporting data

  3. Reporting data • Though most of the planet is covered by water, only 2.5% of it is freshwater, while the rest is salt-water. 2/3 of the fresh water is locked up in glaciers and permanent snow cover. • By 2050, at least 1/4 people is likely to live in a country affected by chronic shortage of water.

  4. Reporting data

  5. Reporting data • According to Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), by 2025, the demand of water is expected to rise by 56% more than is currently available. • Still according to FAO, 80% of the increase in food demand till 2030 will have to be met by irrigation, whereas a strong reduction in available water is forecasted.

  6. Reporting data • The demand for water will outstrip supply with growing population and increased needs for food, drinking water supply, industrial goods, etc. • The management and preservation of current freshwater sources are therefore very important.

  7. Smart water management via ICT 2. Role of ICT in Water management

  8. Main areas ICT is a strategic enabler in the process of developing water scarcities. The main areas where ICT could play a crucial role in water management are the following: Water resources and weather forecasting Mapping Real-time irrigation in Agriculture and Landscaping Management system for Water distribution Networks Early warning systems for Water Management

  9. Early warning systems for Water Management • Preservation and diversification of freshwater resources through: • rain/storm water harvesting • flood management • aquifer recharge • smart metering • will be at the heart of water management programmes for future Smart Cities in order to keep up with the increase in population as water demand starts to exceed water supply.

  10. Early warning systems for Water Management 3. ICT for Water management EU-FP7 Project case

  11. Early Warning System for Water Management More than 2/3 of the European cities have to deal regularly with flood risk management issues. Early warning systems have an important role in mitigating such risks. UrbanFlood is an excellent European project investigating the use of sensors within flood embankments to support an online early warning system for real time emergency management and routine asset management.

  12. Early Warning System for Water Management

  13. Early Warning System for Water Management UrbanFlood Project A 3-year project completed by November 2012 and realised by 5 EU partners: 1. TNO (Netherlands) 2. STOWA (Netherlands) 3. HR Wallington (United Kingdom) 4. Siemens (GR - Russia) 5. University of Amsterdam (Netherlands) 3. Cyfronet AGH(Poland)
