D5.1 Pilot plan report

A lack of information, management and decision support tools that present meaningful and personalized information about usage, price, and availability of water to end users can hinder efforts to manage water as a resource. WATERNOMICS aims to address these issues using innovative information, communication and technology (ICT) tools. The project will develop and introduce ICT as an enabling technology to manage water as a resource, increase end-user conservation awareness and affect behavioural changes, and to avoid waste through leak and other fault detection and diagnosis. This deliverable documents the work carried out to-date specific to each of the four project pilot sites in preparation for the pilot control period and presents the planned activities that will be undertaken at each of the sites during the period. The pilot sites were identified to demonstrate, trial and validate the work of WATERNOMICS in the (i) Domestic,(ii) Corporate and (iii) Public Mixed Use Environments. The planned measures that will be undertaken at each of the pilots and the motivation for this work is described in this report.
