Project Smart City: Burgos | I’MNOVATION

In a world where the Internet of Things offers whole new possibilities while the number of connected devices is increasing every day, The smart city concept is already a reality in many places around the worldA smart city is one that applies technology and innovation to achieve sustainable development and significantly improve the quality of life of its citizens. Now in Spain, more precisely in Burgos, we can find an excellent example of this approach.in the city Be a pioneer with an intelligent network for water distribution It offers many benefits for the population and for the environment. Burgos is no longer just a beautiful city, it’s also a smart city.

Internet of Things to manage water quality standards and detect leaks early

According to data provided by AEAS (Spanish Water and Sewerage Association), almost 23% of drinking water consumed in cities is not registered with measurement metersA shocking figure, especially given that the country regularly experiences periods of water shortages.

With this in mind, ACCIONA water We have developed a ground-breaking project so that technology reaches the pipes of Burgos to better serve its citizens. how?with the help of Big Data, Internet of Things, Business Intelligence.

swing The project consists of implementing a smart system that can manage water consumption, its quality standards and the condition of existing facilities.it is a featureSensors, geolocation systems and software that can monitor water properties and read meters daily Through all collected feeds, it can detect any change that occurs anywhere in the network, from temperature changes to markings. Accurate location of obstructions or blockagesIn other words, ACCIONA designed and developed A system that can monitor every drop of water flowing through these smart pipes.

Thanks to this technology deployment and data management initiative, Fault mitigation is very fast We do not rely on citizens to raise issues in the event of an abnormal situation. others, It entails immeasurable water savings and great relief to the environment..

The project covers three sectors with unique hydrological behavior (iIndustrial, Urban, Residential), the results of which can be transferred to other areas where ACCIONA implements this technology. The idea is to portray Burgos as a blueprint city for many other places where this smart water management system can be implemented.

Trial of the European dimension

swing (Burgos City Smart Water Innovation Network) SmartWater4European EU-passing initiative that seeks to promote innovative, sustainable and smart solutions for water management. The partnership comprises 21 European institutions. Deployment of the solution reaches several locations across Europe.
ACCIONA Water is leading the initiative in Spain by implementing this innovative smart supply network in Burgos. Perhaps you will soon be living in the next water-managed smart city…
