DESCRIPTION:Overview\n“Aigües de Manresa”\, a public water management 
 company near Barcelona\, Spain\, serves 17 municipalities for a total of a
 round 150.000 inhabitants (2022). The company manages a 1400 km water netw
 ork\, 127 tanks and 12 drinking water treatment plants\, as well as a 400 
 km wastewater network and 18 wastewater treatment plants. To improve the e
 fficiency of its water cycle management\, the company secured funding from
  the Next Generation EU funds under the Recovery\, Transformation\, and Re
 silience Plan (PRTR). This project\, benefiting all 17 municipalities\, wa
 s selected as one of 30 out of 158 submissions in the first call for the P
 ERTE (Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation) for Wat
 er Digitization. The project's scope includes using open-source and non-li
 censed hardware\, providing replicable solutions across the water manageme
 nt sector.\nObjectives\nThe primary objectives of this project are:\n1.	To
  integrate and improve open-source GIS tools and IoT technologies for comp
 rehensive water resource management.\n2.	To develop a scalable\, cost-effe
 ctive platform for data visualization\, analysis\, and decision support.\n
 3.	To replace existing SCADA systems with open-source alternatives and inc
 orporate IoT databases.\nMethods\nThe implementation strategy includes:\n1
 .	Existing Tools: Utilizing QGIS Desktop and the Giswater plugin for inven
 tory management and automatic generation of hydraulic models integrated wi
 th Epanet and SWMM.\n2.	SCADA and Telecontrol Replacement: Replacing SCADA
  with a new open-source SCADA system and Telecontrol using non-licensed ha
 rdware.\n3.	IoT Integration: Creating an IoT database to manage data from 
 various sensors and devices\, supporting advanced data analytics.\n4.	OGC 
 SensorThings API: Incorporating the OGC Standard SensorThings API by using
  FROST to facilitate seamless integration and management of sensor data.\n
 5.	Hydraulic Algorithms: Incorporating new hydraulic algorithms for Epanet
 . through Qgis Plugin Giswater to improve system modeling and performance.
 \n6.	Web Client: Using QGIS Web Client 2 (QWC2) for web-based data visuali
 zation and interaction.\n7.	Custom Plugins: Developing customized services
  and specific plugins to extend QWC2 functionalities with the ones provide
 d by Giswater to view inventory and hydraulic model data and interact with
  the data\; for another hand there is a proposal for a new QWC2 plugin for
  visualizing the data provided by the Sensorthings Api server. \nConclusio
 ns\nThe integration of open-source GIS and IoT technologies under the PERT
 E project will significantly improve the water resource management capabil
 ities of “Aigües de Manresa”. This project demonstrates the practical
  benefits of using open-source solutions in utility management\, promoting
  sustainability and cost-efficiency. By using these technologies\, “Aig
 ües de Manresa” sets a standard for other water utilities\, showing the
  potential for widespread adoption and replication of these solutions.
