Abstract

The water sector is undergoing a transition to a digital and smarter water sector. Nevertheless, there is not a comprehensive framework to guide the digital maturity transformation journey in a programmatic way and bridge with existing research efforts that embed digital solutions in everyday utility business practices. This project will develop a guidance document containing a framework for Intelligent Water Systems that will aid in utility decision-making processes, and develop an online tool that enables utilities to easily evaluate their digital maturity levels. Research partner: Great Lakes Water Authority.
