Topic 3. Resource recovery and valorization
Topic 4. Economic, environmental and social implications of water reuse and recovered products
- Smart water meter design: Expertise in designing and developing smart water meters integrated with advanced sensor technologies (e.g., ultrasound) for accurate data collection and real-time monitoring in urban environments.
- Wireless network design and optimisation for efficient water meter data collection in cities: Specialising in deploying and optimising LoRaWAN-based wireless networks for seamless data transmission from distributed water meters, ensuring efficient and scalable coverage across large urban areas, achieving certain performance parameters (e.g., spreading factor, throughput, etc).
- Leak detection in water pipes: Development of innovative leak detection methods using pressure sensors, acoustic sensing techniques, and granular reading, including nightline profiling, to identify and address water leakage issues in city-wide water distribution systems.
