Much of Water Management is Improving Information Flow & Use
“Today’s decisions and policies
will shape our water future…The
effectiveness of those decisions
depends on the quality of
information …In addition to
improved water data the United
States should develop and
expand …forecasting and
predictive models and
systems… to educate and
influence water use behavior of
individual[s], businesses and
resource managers”

Benefits of a “Collaboration Platform”
Foundation of a common goal – the optimal use of water within the SCWA
service area through information transparency and sharing
– Provides an information backdrop to support efforts to balance between
surface and ground water supplies, conservation, and recycling for the
benefit of the region
– Communication/outreach tool to the Public & stakeholders
– Provide tool to optimize or balance water supply portfolios to meet demands
– Overcome organizational fragmentation – establish collaboration /
cooperation
Improved Operations - Increased utilization of data from a variety of sources
will lead to improved overall operation and planning
– SCWA, its Contractors, and other Policy makers base decisions on more
complete data
– Provide tool to track overall energy requirements for water delivery and
treatment
Emergency Regional Response Portal
– Coordinated regional response to flooding, seismic events, wildfires, etc.

Smart Bathing Water Quality Monitoring Project with Ireland EPA
Developed in collaboration with Ireland
EPA, the portal provides up to date
information about bathing areas across
the country.
The map-based website, provides the
latest information, supplied by local
authorities, on compliance status with
EU bathing water quality standards at
the 131 designated bathing sites around
the country.
Anyone setting out for the beach will be
able to log on and see the latest results
of water quality along with details such
as lifeguard availability, blue flag status,
tides and weather forecast
Bathing water quality data that is
uploaded directly to the site by local
authorities will be used by the EPA, to
assess the overall compliance of a
bathing area with EU standards,

Enemalta and Water Services Corporations
Building a smarter energy and water system
Business challenge:
• Electricity is generated entirely by imported fossil fuel
• Electrically powered desalination plants provide half if water supply.
• Rising sea levels threaten Malta’s underground freshwater source.
Solution:
• Internal transformation process geared towards increased efficiency
and delivering affordable, secure energy while protecting environment
• Nationwide smart grid and a fully integrated electricity and water
system.
• 250,000 interactive meters will monitor electricity usage in real time,
set variable rates, and reward customers who consume less energy
and water.
Benefits:
Data from the intelligent meters can be analyzed to help lower costs,
adopt efficient and sustainable consumption patterns and cut
greenhouse gas emissions
By addressing water and power issues as a system citizens can make
smarter decisions about how and when they use power

hydraulic pressure builds up until the levee
bursts (last burst was October 2008). Also

CityOne – A Smarter Planet Game
CityOne is a city simulator that models a number of factors that are distilled into a few metrics
for the player (such as Citizen Happiness, Business Climate, etc.)
Problems in the city manifest as “events”, which in turn are addressed by applying “solutions”.
The strategy comes from deciding which solutions have the most impact on the city (based on
the city infrastructure and industry budgets).

We’ve only just begun to
uncover what is possible on
a smarter planet.
The world will continue to become smaller, flatter and
smarter. We are moving into the age of the globally
integrated and intelligent economy, society and planet.
By systemically managing water and energy use, as
well as carbon emissions, smart organizations will
realize true sustainability while achieving real business
benefits—driving growth at the individual,
organizational and population levels.
Let’s work together to drive
real progress in our world.
