Castellón takes a new step in modernizing the urban water cycle with the launch of an innovative digital platform that will improve management, making it more efficient, sustainable and transparent.
The tool is part of the projectDigitization of urban water use in the city of Castellón de la Plana, uan initiative supported by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) and financed by the European Union's Next Generation funds through the Strategic Project for Economic Recovery and Transformation (PERTE), focused on the digitalization of the water cycle.
All your water information, in one tool
The platform will allow for the collection and analysis of all water-related data in the city within a single system: from consumption and water quality to the condition of the supply and sanitation networks. Thanks to digitalization and the use of artificial intelligence, managers will be able to monitor the network in real time, detect leaks or abnormal consumption, and anticipate potential problems.
Furthermore, this new solution will provide a detailed view of the system's behavior in extreme weather conditions, allowing the city to anticipate problems arising from extreme phenomena such as droughts or heavy rains, and strengthening Castellón's resilience to climate change.
With this tool, the City Council and Facsa will be able to optimize the use of water and energy consumed during the different processes, reducing both the environmental impact and operating costs.
A more connected and smart city
One of the most innovative aspects of the project is that the platform is designed to integrate with other municipal services in the future, such as smart irrigation, energy management, and waste collection. This interoperability will allow information to be shared between different urban areas, optimizing resources and moving towards a comprehensive vision of a smart and sustainable city.
