Operational Impact
The implementation of H2Porto has resulted in a significant improvement in the management of the urban water cycle in Oporto. The system has enabled the integration of data from a wide range of systems and sources into a single platform, thereby enhancing operational efficiency. The use of Bentley software to produce a digital twin model of the city’s water supply, wastewater, stormwater, and bathing water systems has helped to forecast flooding and water quality issues, thereby improving city response and resilience. The system has also facilitated the transition from reactive management to proactive management, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of the water utility. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Access to tablets with all the information in real time allows operating gains of 25 percent. | |
The occurrence of water supply failures dropped by around 30 percent. | |
The increased reliability and stability of information produced based on sensor readings improved decision making and increased the stability and reliability of the data to values close to 99 percent. | |
